Most of the major Democratic presidential candidates will be taking questions tonight on the Iraq War in a "virtual town meeting" that is billed as one of the largest and most ambitious online political forums.

Democratic presidential candidates John Edwards, Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd and Barack Obama (in that order) all will do brief phone question-and-answer sessions on their views about Iraq beginning at 6:00 pm CDT tonight.

Members of the liberal activist group MoveOn.org voted on the questions each candidate is to be asked from among more than 6,800 potential questions that members submitted.

Moveon.org has organized more than 1,000 house parties around the country to listen to the event, which the group also plans tom make available live through its web site.

Members will be surveyed on their views of each candidate's responses and the results will be released on Thursday April 12.

The forum is co-sponsored by the Service Employees International Union and Campaign for America's Future.
