Thanks for posting about the debate. It's important that the grassroots become actively engaged in the RNC Chairman's race. While only the 168 committeemen and women are eligible to vote, the grassroots should still let them know who we want as Chairman.

Also, the website is the place for the Center-Right movement to submit questions they'd like the candidates to answer. Then once they've submitted questions, they can vote up or down other people's questions.

Thanks again for posting on this debate. I hope people become actively engaged in this debate.
