SAN DIEGO, August 12, 2011 — Iowa State University played host to the third Republican debate on Thursday, August 11, 2011.
Unlike the recent unprofessionalism found in CNN’s debate, this particular debate exuded more seriousness with sponsors Fox News, the Washington Examiner, and the Iowa Republican Party.
The moderators included Special Report host Breit Bair, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, and Washington Examiner’s Byron York and Susan Ferrechio.
Eight candidates participated in the event, excluding Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson. Also absent were Texas governor Rick Perry and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Most political debates are perceived as rigid and unexciting. Nevertheless, this Republican debate defied the odds and provided some entertainment for voters.
