MANCHESTER – The last chance for many voters to see the candidates in action before Tuesday's presidential primary will be this weekend with televised debates and a Republican forum, although not all the major candidates will be included.

Most of the candidates for both parties will participate in two debates tonight hosted by WMUR-TV, ABC News and Facebook at Saint Anselm College, although three candidates were eliminated by the criteria set by ABC News.

The Republican debate begins at 7 p.m. followed by the Democrats. Each debate is scheduled for 90 minutes and ABC anchor Charles Gibson will moderate.

The GOP match up includes John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul and the Democratic debate includes Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Bill Richardson.

ABC News and WMUR-TV eliminated Republican Duncan Hunter and Democrats Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel from prime-time debates tonight.

To be included in the ABC debates, candidates had to meet at least one of three criteria: place first through fourth in Iowa, poll at least 5 percent in one of the last four major New Hampshire surveys or poll at least 5 percent in one of the last four major national surveys.

A Republican Forum with only five invited candidates will be broadcast on Fox News Sunday at 8 and 11 p.m. The forum will also be at Saint Anselm College.

The forum, sponsored by Fox News and the state Republican Party, will feature McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Giuliani and Thompson. To date, Fox has not invited Paul or California U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter.

The Fox News Web site touts the forum, which Chris Wallace will host, as "the GOP frontrunners as you've never seen them before. It's a forum like no other."

No more tickets are available for the debates.
