March 8, 2011 Government No Comments

RPOF To Partner With FOX News To Host September Debate

Tallahassee, FL – Republican Party of Florida Chairman Dave Bitner announced today that the RPOF will host the Presidency 5 Straw Poll from the 22nd through the 24th of September, 2011 in Orlando, Florida. The Presidency 5 Straw Poll will be a critical test of grassroots support for Republican presidential candidates.

Additionally, RPOF is expanding the Presidency 5 Straw Poll to include a Republican presidential debate on Thursday, September 22nd. The Party will once again be partnering with FOX News to host the debate, which will give presidential candidates an opportunity to speak directly to Floridians, as well as the nation.

“I am proud to announce the details of this important event,” said Chairman Bitner. “Presidency 5 will give the candidates an opportunity to bring their message directly to the people of Florida while allowing voters to participate in a poll that has historically predicted the eventual Republican nominee for President. We are also very excited to partner again with Fox News on another critical debate that will kick off the 2012 election season.”

The state of Florida is the fourth largest state in the nation and has been the most important swing state in the last 3 election cycles. Florida recently picked up 2 additional electoral votes brining its total to 29 and increasing the state’s importance in determining the next President of the Unites States. The Florida Presidency straw poll has consistently predicted the eventual Republican Presidential nominee since its inception in 1979.
