University of Houston to Host a GOP Presidential Debate
We thought the University of Houston had truly outdone itself when UH officials managed to get Matthew McConaughey to speak at the school's commencement earlier this year, but UH officials proved us wrong by getting in on the presidential campaign circuit.
On Tuesday UH officials announced another big get for the university: UH will host a GOP presidential debate in February. And this won't be some run-of-the-mill debate, either.
The debate, sanctioned by the Republican National Committee, is slated to be the final GOP debate before the crucial "Super Tuesday" primary contests in Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia on March 1. Alaska, Minnesota and Wyoming also will award delegates on that same day. All candidates who qualify are expected to participate in the debate, which will be presented in partnership with National Review.
At this point it's hard to predict who will actually qualify for the debate. Even though both former-Gov. Rick Perry and Rick Santorum Scott Walker have bowed out of the race, it's still a crowded field and it's distinctly possible that all of the current would-be GOP presidential candidates will hang on right up to Super Tuesday. This means that the whole crew, including Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Sen Marco Rubio, Dr. Ben Carson, and (though it's looking increasingly unlikely) Jeb Bush and all the rest could possibly be on a Houston stage slugging it out to try and persuade primary voters in a last ditch-effort that he or she is the best candidate.

I wonder if any of the candidates know there are lots of brown people living here, especially from the Middle East...
Well, at least I know I won't have to put up with them when I eat out at such places
