On Tuesday Jan. 15, MSNBC will host a debate among Democratic presidential candidates live from Las Vegas.

According to today's announcement from MSNBC, the debate will focus on "issues important to minority voters" and will be sponsored a number of groups, including the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, 100 Black Men of America, and the Democratic African-American Leadership Council.

Brian Williams and Tim Russert will moderate.

User generated questions remain all the rage this year. MSNBC will keep the trend going: Natalie Morales, of NBC's "Today" will ask the candidates questions submitted by viewers via www.januarydebate.com and www.msnbc.com.
