Candidates Confirmed for First GOP Presidential Debate


SIMI VALLEY, Calif., April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ronald Reagan
Presidential Foundation (http://www.reaganlibrary.com), in conjunction with MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.com) and THE POLITICO (http://www.politico.com), announced today that nine GOP Presidential candidates will participate in the May 3, 2007 debate held at the Reagan Presidential Library.

The following candidates have accepted Mrs. Ronald Reagan's invitation
to participate in this debate: Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Rudy Giuliani,
Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Tommy
Thompson.

The May 3 debate will air exclusively on MSNBC cable, with full
coverage on http://www.MSNBC.com. THE POLITICO will stream the debate live on http://www.politico.com, providing an exclusive and unprecedented opportunity for viewers to question the candidates via the internet.

This debate will be the first of two GOP Presidential Candidate Debates
that will take place at the Reagan Presidential Library during this
campaign cycle. The second debate will be held on January 30, 2008, the
final GOP Presidential debate before the 2008 "Super-Tuesday" primary in
California and several other key states.

Located in Simi Valley, California, the Ronald Reagan Presidential
Library houses over 55 million pages of Gubernatorial, Presidential and
personal papers, an extraordinary collection of photographs and film, and
over 100,000 gifts and artifacts chronicling the lives of Ronald and Nancy
Reagan. Home to Air Force One 27000, it now also serves as the final
resting place of America's 40th President.



Fortunately they will be streaming the debate on MSNBC--this should be something to watch, Hunter and Paul will both be present, but Tancredo was not invited for some reason.
