Primetime Tuesday

We're having a school board meeting at 6:00 and a TxDOT town hall meeting at 6:30. After that, the Democratic candidates for president will debate in Las Vegas tonight. Candidate Dennis Kucinich will also appear on the stage after a judge ruled that he must be included (reversed by NV Sup Ct). The debate is being hosted by the Nevada Democratic Party and will be broadcast on MSNBC at 8:00 p.m. Nevada will hold its caucuses on Saturday. The polls close in Michigan at 8:00 our time as well.

If you're wanting to switch back and forth to a good mini-series during tonight's debate and election returns, try part 2 of Comanche Moon (CBS, 8:00), the prequel to Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, one of the most engaging books and movies ever written and produced. Gus McCrae (pictured right), while featured in Comanche Moon, is played by Steve Zahn rather than Robert Duvall. Tommy Lee Jones isn't in the cast either, so you won't get to hear great lines like this one.
