Phone and covers politics for politico. Tell us about this meeting yesterday. What was the motivation for republicans to meet . Guest the meeting was summed up pretty well, which is that the the debate last week in colorado was considered a total debacle. They have not been happy with the way republican president ial campaigns have been going. On theame the debates rnc. Why . On negotiatingen format and content and moderators in 2012, so to a large degree, some of these campaigns the rnc has not been effective in negotiating on their have. On their behalf. Things a lot to happen fairly soon, just to remind viewers of the schedule of republican debates, a week from tomorrow is the next debate in foxbusinesssted by and by the wall street journal. By cnn in5, hosted salem. Guest the changes were agreed upon yesterday evening at this meeting which was held in alexandria in old town. It will take effect after the next debate. It will begin to impact debates after that and that will be in december. Host we are asking viewers how they would change the gop debates and going forward, what do we know of how the candidates would like to change their debates . Guest every candidate want something a little bit different for the most part. There is agreement upon the campaigns, these of the things of the agreedupon. All debates should be no longer than two hours. All candidates should get an equal number of questions. All candidates should get the opportunity to give opening and closing statements. There are some things that some candidates want and others dont. Wars g that came up was that these undercard candidates who have been relegated to debates earlier in the evening want there to be just one debate. They want everybody to be on the same stage. Host isnt that a bit of a problem . There are more candidates, perhaps more than we have ever seen, in a president ial race. Guest that is the problem with the process, and thats partly why the rnc have lost so much control. You have so many different theydates and campaigns, kind of want Different Things and its hard to accommodate all of them on one stage. That is part of the problem, which is the Republican Party has lost control of the process, because they are dealing with some erick wright so many primary candidates. Host what will we hear next . The rnc is ok with a lot of the changes that were agreed to last night. One of the most amount of changes is the campaigns will be in charge of negotiating format andes directly with the rnc the networks broadcasting the debates. The rnc is going to be relegated to focusing more on mystical issues. The most part, they are ok with that, but they will be taking on a smaller role of a have in the past.
