Very cool!

We are so proud of Florida grass roots!!!

 

[TheViper]

I'm ready for it.

Wish I had a better quality video camera.

Anyone know which entrance the candidates are coming in from? I'd imagine 9A but they may go to Kernan or even Central Parkway hoping to sneak in.

So cool!

We are so proud of Florida grass roots!!!

We have some of the best RP supporters down here, but we live in a politically corrupt state where most of the voters are looking for something from the federal government.

My apologies for the low poll numbers...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I got the call from CNN Monday regarding attending the debate, and was told to expect an e-mail yesterday or today with details. I haven't gotten anything yet, and was wondering if anyone else got something similar. I hope they didn't axe me 'cause my last name is Paul!

welcome to the forums!

You might want to post this question in the Florida forum, as well, since a lot of the nuts and bolts discussions happen there.

You should be aware of the following requirements:
On Thursday, January 26th, doors to Lazzara Hall will open at 6 p.m., and all debate attendees must be seated by 7:15 p.m., when the doors will close. There will be only one entrance into the Debate at the front of the Fine Arts Center.

A friend and I emailed the RPoF and they sent us a questionnaire that we filled out and they sent to CNN. Should have a pretty big RP crowd at the debate.

Any news on this front yet?
