From today's ABCNews The Note:

There are Democratic presidential candidate forums literally every day this week. The first one is today in Philadelphia, where the Sheet Metal Workers union holds a presidential candidate forum at the new National Constitution Center.

All candidates have confirmed their attendance except Senator Edwards and Senator Graham, who's in Iowa. CNN's Bill Press, a proud graduate of the Salesianum School, will moderate. This is the only event of the week at which the candidates appear together — as opposed to serially.

On Tuesday, the Oklahoma Democratic Party holds a forum on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater at 7:00 pm ET. Dean, Lieberman, Kucinich, Braun, Sharpton, Gephardt, and Edwards are expected to attend. Graham is a probable and Kerry has a conflict. Each candidate will appear separately and answer questions from local broadcasters and members of the audience for 15 minutes.

On Wednesday, the Iowa Federation of Labor holds its forum in Des Moines, beginning at 3:00 pm ET. In this three-hour forum, candidates Edwards, Kerry, Graham, Dean, Gephardt, and Kucinich will be questioned separately by a panel that includes AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO legislative analyst Scott Paul, and the SEIU's Ellen Golombek.

And on Thursday, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack holds his conference on public health at Drake University in Des Moines starting at 1:30 pm ET. For this one, the candidates will appear one at a time beginning at 2:00 pm ET for about 20 minutes each in the following order: Kerry, Gephardt, Braun, Kucinich, Dean, Edwards, and Graham.

Friday, in Cedar Rapids, there is a labor council forum; all but Lieberman and Moseley Braun are confirmed.
