According to Variety.com:
MSNBC will carry the first televised presidential debate of the 2008 race when Democratic hopefuls square off in South Carolina on April 26.
Debate, scheduled nearly six months earlier than the first debate of the 2004 presidential race, stretches the campaign 18 months before Election Day in 2008.
An NBC News personality, likely Brian Williams, will both moderate and anchor the debate, which will air in primetime and be streamed on MSNBC.com. Network will announce the moderator and other details later.
Republicans aren’t waiting much longer to get their first debate under their belts. Fox News Channel will air the GOP’s first televised debate, also in South Carolina, on May 15 at the Kroger Center in the state capital of Columbia.
So to sum up:
Democratic debate – Thursday, April 26, 2007
Republican debate – Tuesday, May 15, 2007

I sat there and watched the entire VP debates tonight and I cannot for the life of me find a reason for why all the major news media outlets call it a draw. Biden was the clear winner. He exposed Palin’s inexperience, forcing her to go off topic several times because she could not defend McCain’s positions on almost anything. She kept on going back to the same memorized speech over and over again and had no new information to share. I am quite frankly insulted that anyone could call this a draw. No way. Not a chance. She lost. Sorry Republicans, you’re aren’t the candidates for change. Did anyone hear Palin apologize to Biden at the very end when they were shaking hands? How odd.
