When election terms roll around for the presidency the American public starts watching the debates. This upcoming election term in 2012 is currently in need of a Republican candidate for president. The Republican National Debates is simply where the Republican national party gets together their best candidates and hopefuls for their party to run in the upcoming election. In this particular case, since Barrack Obama is the incumbent president, he is automatically chosen as the Democrat candidate in the next election. What is still left undecided is who will run against him. Through a series of debates, the list will be narrowed down into candidates for which registered Republicans can vote in the primaries. The entire process of the debates is to narrow down the current potential nominees until there is one person worthy of the Republican nomination. Once the states vote in the primaries and the Republican Party candidate is chosen, then a series of debates will start against the Republican and Democratic candidates for president. In this case, it will be the Republican candidate and President Barrack Obama.
Each debate focuses on various issues that are important to the American people. This year, there are 26 debates scheduled for 2011-2012. To date, nearly half of these debates have already taken place. The latest debate was on the issue of security. There were several people who have participated in this event and the list included Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Rich Santorum. The DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC hosted the 11th debate. This event was sponsored by The Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute and CNN.
The events can become rather heated as the potential candidates voice strong opinions on various subjects. The issue of homeland security is one that the American people feel is of great importance. The Republican candidates mostly have a more conservative view of the political agendas. The American people usually want to know about issues such as abortion, the economy, a possible health care plan, jobs, and the housing market. These issues have a substantial polarity across the country. With great pressure, these candidates must answer questions and they are rated with a score based on how well they did. It does not matter if they are for or against a certain issue; it all depends on how well the candidates articulate their ideas and how it resonates with GOP voters. At the end of the night, there is no clear winner; however, the press tends to try to make a case for those who they think did well.
The Republican party generally tends to have a great voice in the land for those who want to err on the side of caution and keep a religious aspect in America. Most of these potential nominees are expected to be fiscally conservative and either moderate or right-winged on topics such as taxation, the deficit, abortion, gay marriage, and other issues in debate. The GOP nominee will then be debating the same issues with the incumbent President Obama.
