Jonathan mentioned it briefly in his post below, but to be clear -- the GOP's YouTube/CNN debate is officially scheduled for Weds., Nov. 28 in Florida. Can I get a collective "Woot!" from all of the TechRepublicans please (leave it in the comments)?

Those of us involved in the SaveTheDebate coalition will be making a special announcement/call to action in the very near future so stay tuned to your inbox (if you signed the petition).

Here's the official press release from the Google PR team:

CNN, YouTube to Hold Republican Debate in Florida on Nov. 28

CNN, YouTube, and the Republican Party of Florida today announced that they will hold their Republican primary debate on Wednesday, Nov. 28. Like the Democratic CNN/YouTube debate, this live two-hour forum will feature video questions submitted to YouTube that will be broadcast and answered by the candidates on CNN. CNN’s Anderson Cooper will moderate.

This debate will be held at the Mahaffey Theatre in St. Petersburg. Online users are currently able to submit their questions at www.youtube.com/debates.

On a side note, it's never too soon to start planning a bash in Florida at the debate. Email me (david.all AT TechRepublican.com) if you have suggestions or want to help coordinate an event.
