I don't know if this will have a feed or be covered but it should be interesting as it's sponsered by the AARP, which just endorsed Bush's rx "compromise"

Candidates to debate elderly issues at Bedford forum

CONCORD – The six top Democratic presidential candidates will discuss the top issues facing senior citizens today at a forum in Bedford.

The event follows the release of a poll Monday that found the economy and jobs, health-care costs and the future of Social Security are the three most important issues to registered voters over 50 who are likely to vote in the first-in the-nation presidential primary.

The state chapter of the AARP sponsored the telephone poll and is hosting this 90-minute forum at the Sheraton Wayfarer.

“This is all about education, educating our members about the issues,” said AARP state director Dick Chevrafils at a news conference.

“We’ve been very pleased by the response of the members and from the public to this.”

The forum begins at 11:30 a.m. and will be aired by WNDS-TV of Derry at 7:30 p.m.

They aren't even carrying it live locally! The top six can't get any nat'l coverage.
