UT gets a role in tonight's Republican prez debate

The University of Tampa gets a role in tonight's CNN-sponsored Republican presidential candidate debate  in St. Petersburg.

CNN picked the private college in downtown Tampa to host a 24-member focus group of undecided Republican voters to watch the debate from Plant Hall and electronically log their satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the candidates throughout the debate.

The debate will include live broadcasts from UT, and the group’s electronic tallies will scroll live as the debate progresses.
