The LiveStrong Presidential Cancer Forum is underway today and Tuesday in Iowa, where Lance Armstrong strives to make the fight against cancer a top issue in the 2008 presidential campaign.
Democrats Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Bill Richardson and Dennis Kucinich spoke Monday at Cedar Rapids; the Republicans get a shot on Tuesday. Noticeable in his absence was Democrat Barack Obama and Tuesday's expected no-shows Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani.
Check out the LiveStrong Presidential Cancer Forum blog for updates from the event. MSNBC is showing the forums live from 10 a.m. – noon on Monday and Tuesday on cable and at its live video website.
More at Des Moines Register (“Candidates pledge to fight cancer“) and ABC news.
Update: Chicago Tribune reports that only two GOP candidates — Sam Brownback and Mike Huckabee — attended the cancer forum.
