The eight person Presidential race for the Republican nomination in 2012 now faces a major challenge and testing ground: Five debates over a six week period in September and October are scheduled, bound to thin out the race in a major way!
Debates scheduled to occur are as follows:
September 7 at the Reagan Library in California
September 12 in Tampa, Florida, site of the national convention next year
September 22 in Orlando, Florida
October 11 in Hanover, New Hampshire
October 18 in Las Vegas, Nevada
For political junkies, there is much to look forward to!
I predict that after the October 18 debate there will be four candidates left. Perry, Bachmann, Romney and Huntsman. Based on your analysis at The Hostel at Home on Tuesday you will probably agree.
