A look at impressive Air Force One Pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA, where the GOP presidential debate will take place this evening at 8:00 PM ET, 5:00 PM PT. Sept 7, 2011
Air Force One Pavilion is where it’s happening this evening!
Located at the magnificent Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the pavilion will be the setting for the presidential debate at 8:00 PM ET. Eight Republican presidential candidates will battle it out as they kick off a busy month of debating. The debate is sponsored by NBC News, Politico, and the Reagan Library Foundation; NBC News Anchor Brian Williams and Politico Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris will moderate.
Eyes will be on the Romney/Perry/Bachmann trio. Perry’s debut on the national debate stage will afford us the opportunity to see if his reputation of employing smiling deflections on significant matters of controversy in his record is true. Bachmann is on the line to win back ground she has lost to Perry since he overshadowed her Iowa Straw Poll win. It goes without saying that the other candidates will be poised to create breakout moments for themselves, as well.
Romney has already had a stellar week with his strong performance at Senator Jim DeMint’s Palmetto Freedom Forum and his grand jobs creation speech yesterday in Nevada (“Your pay phone strategy doesn’t work in a smart phone world, Mr. President!“).
We are looking forward to seeing The Gov at tonight’s show down!
Participants:
Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum

Let the games, I mean debates, begin.
I went to the Reagan Library after the ’08 debates and stood on the platform where Mitt sat when he debated John McCain. I’m excited for this debate–it will be another battle wherein he’ll make his case to the nation, and prove himself better than his competitors.
There will always be items that are debatable when referring to a candidate’s platform, BUT for a rising future (and I emphasize “future”) the nation needs a man with impeccable credentials…which Mitt has! We need an intelligent person, which Mitt is! We need an example of a good family man who can set that example in front of 300M plus citizens…which Mitt can and will do! We need a leader who other nations will look up to as leader of the free world — Mitt! We need business experience with a touch of politics — Mitt! Mitt needs a supporting wife — which he has! And he needs US! End of story…
P.S. Whenever possible, campaign team, use the top row, upper-left Thumbnail photo! It shows a determined and powerful Presidential-looking candidate who is not shying away from the tough road ahead.
Go Mitt!!! So hoping that Mitt hits it out of the park tonight!!!
