The audience reaction often defines the spin of the debate (Rudy in SC, Paul yesterday).

I think that shows how important it is for us to get OUR people in attendence of the future debates. Please check out this schedule for debates near you, locate the sponsors and score tickets. Most are probably already gone so check on waiting lists or whatever we can do.

Here is another debate in Florida on January 24th. Here is the link.

I am disturbed by the following.

Anticipating a crowded field of candidates, Leadership Florida and other sponsors also are taking the step of setting a threshold requirement for contenders looking to participate. Candidates must receive at least 10 percent support in a poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research on or before Jan. 15, according to candidate selection rules.

Iowa caucuses are January 14th. Mason-Dixon is not going to do a poll in one day. They are setting up Dr. Paul to be excluded from a Florida debate just a few days before the Florida primary.

This website which was updated July 20th says there is another debate on September 6th on Fox News in New Hampshire and September 16th on Univision in Florida. There are apparently two debates scheduled on September 27th, so I don't know how that will work. I'm not sure if this is correct or wikipedia is. I guess we'll know closer to September 6th if Fox starts promoting the debate whether or not this schedule is correct or not.
