The October debate, hosted by CNN and the New York Times, is set for a single night on Oct. 15, the Democratic National Committee told the presidential campaigns Friday.

"To address several inquiries we have received, we are writing to let you know that, pending a final decision after the certification deadline, it is the intention of the DNC and our media partners to hold the October debate over one night," the DNC wrote in a memo obtained by ABC News.

Elizabeth Warren, Entrepreneur Andrew Yang

What's with your excitement that Tulsi's back in?

[Democrats hate too much]

The edtablishment is going to go after jer. Th÷ moderators are going to go after her.

[kabar]

No way Hillary gets the nomination at a brokered convention without going thru the primary process.

[adorno]

Did Tulsi buy her way into the debates by promising to back impeachment of the president?

[monocle]

The only reason Warren is running is to make Hillary appear to appear to be somewhat likeable by comparison.

[TheZMan]

There are several Freepers cheering on Tulsi. Mediocre eye candy trumps common sense.

[VTenigma]

Mediocre eye candy and top of the curve on the hot/crazy matrix. Well into the “no go” zone.

[Libloather]

Because she was out and now she’s back in! That means someone got the boot. Isn’t this great?

[Buckeye McFrog]

I predict Tulsi will be the nominee. You heard it here first.

No way, no how. She is a non-starter with their base. So far as they are concerned she is practically a Republican.

[Flick Lives]

I suspect the Nominee will be She who will not be named; Her Heinous

- -

The bitch has been rather noisome lately. Not that she’s ever shut up her whining about 2016. If she gets in the race, she’ll suck all the oxygen out of the room.

[xp38]

If Tulsi is back in then there must be some gnashing of teeth in the heels up camp.

[miss marmelstein]

She’s hot!! She’s conservative!! Now let’s put up a picture of the wrong woman in a bikini!!

[j.havenfarm]

I don’t think so either. Not loopy enough for her base. For me, I’d prefer a nominal or pretend Christian like Obama to a real Hindu like her. Exposed to the Way, she rejected Jesus. Disqualifying in my book. Ummm... thinking she’d have a bit of a problem with the evangelicals once this would become widely known

[VanShuyten]

Just got back from Iowa. The political ads have already started. Drove around my hometown, looking at how the economy has improved, and noticed many yard signs. A few for Bernie, but most were “Tulsi!”.

[bkopto]

(Someone here is going to take you seriously.) People need to look beyond the cover of that book.

The only reason it is good that Gabbard might be back in the hunt is that her presence sows division amongst the more insane candidates.

Otherwise, Gabbard is a turd.

[Texas resident]

The dims will never pull that flag out, but that is where they want to take this country. Obama used to surround himself with lots of American Flags.

[gogeo]

What a commentary on the state of the RAT party...when Cankles leftovers are the best they have to offer.

[CptnObvious]

Republican don't have Media Partners. These are DemocRAT aligned Media Partners that can be trusted to do what the DNC wants it to.

Their media partners? That's the entire media.
