The national political conversation will echo through FAU in January 2008. The University will host the Republican presidential candidates on Thursday, Jan. 24 and the Democratic presidential candidates on Sunday, Jan. 27 in televised debates sponsored by Leadership Florida, the Florida Press Association and Florida Public Broadcasting Service, Inc.
The debates will be held in the Carole and Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium in the Student Union on the Boca Raton Campus and will be aired live on MSNBC and Florida’s public television and radio stations. Additionally, most NBC network affiliates in Florida are expected to carry the broadcast live.
The debates are just days before Florida’s primary and “Super Tuesday,” when voters in more than 20 states go to the polls to vote in primaries.

As the host, FAU is proud to recognize the partnership behind the debates for its deep reach, significance, balance and non-partisanship. For 25 years, Leadership Florida has served to develop a community of leaders with diverse perspectives to address our state’s challenges and work for the common goal of a better Florida. The Florida Press Association is a nonprofit corporation designed to protect the freedoms and advance the professional standards of the press in Florida, with a membership that includes most of Florida’s daily and weekly newspapers. Florida Public Broadcasting is a non-profit network of 26 public television and radio stations dedicated to serving our local communities and who reach 99 percent of Florida’s population.
But nothing at the website says who got invited to the debate.
I wonder if NBC has some say in the decision making??
Please start calling, emailing Florida Atlantic University to find out Hunter’s status for the debate and firmly but kindly express your views WHY HE SHOULD BE!!!!
