The Fox News Democrat debate has been canceled

Looks like the netroots have won. They truly are the power behind the throne.

Fox News and a black political group say they will not hold a Sept. 23 Democratic presidential debate in Detroit, which the leading candidates already were planning to skip.

A new date had not yet been set, Fox News spokesman Michael Murphy said Thursday.

The campaigns of U.S. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards had said they would not participate in the debate. Opponents have criticized Fox as biased against Democrats.

Can't say that I'm unhappy that the Democrats will be missing the exposure they would have gotten on Fox :-)
