Some details for those who care from BostInno [6]:
Tonight’s GOP debate is the first since the Iowa caucuses and is set to take place just an hour from Boston at St. Anselm’s College in Manchester, New Hampshire. The debate will feature Iowa winner and former Massachusetts’ governor Mitt Romney pitted against Rick Santorum, who was a very close second in the Hawkeye State, as well as the remaining Republican candidates, including Rick Perry, Ron Paul, John Hunstman, and Newt Gingrich. Tonight’s GOP Presidential debate is carried by ABC, who will broadcast it at 9 PM eastern time from New Hampshire.
The Republican debate will be moderated by ABC’s Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulous. You can watch the Republican Debate from St. Anselm’s in New Hampshire online below.
Romney won the Iowa Caucus by a count of eight votes over Santorum in the wee hours of Wednesday morning after a late-night count of Iowa caucus votes reduced Santorum’s lead from 900 votes to nothing before Romney just passed him by. Paul placed third in Iowa, with Gingrich – the presumed front-runner for the Republican nomination – coming in a distant fourth, and going on to proclaim that Romney won’t win the nomination [7] because “he only got 25% of the Republican vote.”
Tonight’s Republican debate is sponsored by ABC News [5], Yahoo! [8] and WMUR-TV [9] in New Hampshire. It will be moderated by ABC’s Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulous.
