It's Never Too Early To Plan

FOX News and the South Carolina Republican Party have jointly announced that they will present the first 2008 presidential debate on May 15, 2007. The debate, which is expected to attract the top Republican contenders for President, will be shown live on FOX News Channel (FNC) and FOX News Radio from the University of South Carolina’s Koger Center.

No small deal, as you’ll remember that (and as Fox reminds you in the release) “[t]here has never been a candidate to lose the South Carolina primary and successfully capture the Party’s nomination for President. ”
