"Iowa's Republican Party on Thursday said it will partner with Fox News on a GOP presidential debate next year, an announcement that came one day after the South Carolina GOP announced a similar deal with the cable network.
The first 2012 debate of the Iowa caucuses campaign is scheduled to take place on August 11, just days before the Iowa GOP straw poll -- a crucial early benchmark for presidential hopefuls.
Both the debate and the straw poll will be held at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. The two will partner again for a second debate in early 2012 just ahead of the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, with a date and location to be announced later."
Gotta keep the consultants and political staffers in work!
