And Ron Paul will be there!
"GOP immigration views face test at Fla. debate" by Foon Rhee/Boston Globe December 6, 2007
The Republican presidential candidates have mostly been trying to out-tough one another on illegal immigration, but may sing a slightly different tune in their next debate.
They are scheduled to be in Miami on Sunday for a forum hosted and broadcast by Univision, the nation's leading Spanish-language media company.
John McCain told Globe editors yesterday that the rhetoric against illegal immigration could be interpreted as anti-Hispanic. "We Republicans ought to be very careful," said McCain, who was vilified by some in his party for championing an overhaul of immigration policy that failed to get through Congress earlier this year.
Univision postponed its GOP debate this fall after three candidates - Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson - declined invitations. Now, after Mike Huckabee confirmed, the only no-show will be Representative Tom Tancredo of Colorado, a Univision spokeswoman said yesterday. Debate questions will be asked in Spanish and translated into English for the candidates.
Tancredo - whose campaign is based on tough immigration policy and who has aired hard-hitting TV ads warning about terrorists and Central American gangs coming through porous borders - has said he would never participate in a Spanish-language debate."
I'll be watching!
