I am curious as to Mrs. Reagan's participation in this "debate." I can certainly see and heartily approve of hosting a "roundtable"-like meeting, where republicans can discuss issues, especially with the Tea Party controlling the direction of the House debates 90 days into the congress. But a "presidential debate" is not worthy of consideration.
The ONLY thing this will do is to allow the Networks to do the damned if you do, damned if you don't analysis of the "debate," particularly with Sarah Palin's attendance/non-attendance of the event. To that end, I hope the people doing the event know what they are doing.
