Here's a link to Univision's coverage.
If you want to watch the video on the website, the first box, under "video" on the upper left hand corner of the page is where to click. If you want a translation of the page go to Google Language Tools, enter the link where it says "Translate a web page" and the entire site will be translated for you. It's not a great translation but, it'll give you a good idea.
I don't know how many of the candidates will actually speak in Spanish. I imagine most of them speak very little if any so, you may not understand the questions but you will likely understand the answers.
FYI.

I'm of a mixed opinion on the whole "debate in Spanish" idea. I had to learn Spanish when I lived in Chile so, I don't see why people who come here shouldn't learn English. If it is the polite and common sense thing to do for Americans when living abroad, why can't foreigners who live here learn English? Is that really so much to ask?
Anyway, here's hoping that doing this debate will at least give us a chance to make progress in putting rationality back into the debates over immigration(legal and illegal) and assimilation. Its not the perfect situation right now but, we've got to start somewhere.
On a lighter note, perhaps if the commentators really like an answer a candidate gives we'll hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

LOL. He’s from Chile, BTW. I saw him on tv down there before he moved his “Sabados Gigantes” show to Univision.

I like watching the candidates face hostile crowds. It gives a far better idea of how electable they are.

True. So, we’ll never get that kind of idea from the Dems.

I’ve already heard what they all have to say and I am still unimpressed. Repeating it in a language I don’t understand isn’t likely to change anything.

Tancredo has declined to participate in the debate. Are there any others that have declined. I didn’t see Keyes name mentioned but he may not have received an invitation.....
24 days and Iowa kicks off the selection process.....

I'm really more interested in seeing who has something different to say in front of this crowd.

How many in this crowd are actually Republican primary voters? At this point I think they should be the focus. I think it's stupid to exclude English speaking audiences in the U.S. by appearing on this "Spanish only" network.
If it was part of a general election campaign I could accept it as merely pandering as usual. But it's still primary season. I think they're wasting their time

Channel 270 on Dish Network.
I think Dish has a tool to translate to English with closed caption. Should be able to read the questions and answers.

I only posted the info because I haven’t seen anyone else post it.
Lots of FReepers have Dish Network and I don’t think its an extra paid channel, comes with basic service.
I’ll bet its on Direct TV satellite too.
