For a day Nevada will be the center of the political universe. And I am not talking about Jan. 19, when the presidential caucus will be held. I refer to Nov. 15, when CNN will host a debate at UNLV among the Democratic White House hopefuls. The event will be televised around the world and there will be plenty of hype - and the potential for a memorable gaffe or decisive moment remembered into Campaign '08. But the Democrats have done something even smarter by scheduling the annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner after the debate - and they have commitments from all the contenders to show up. So there could be a debate after the debate - and the potential for some fireworks. The ides of November. Remember it!
