Fox News confirms 8 candidates in Aug. 11th Iowa debate
CY Stephens Auditorium in Ames, Iowa
Eight Republicans will be part of Fox News' debate Thursday in advance of Saturday's Iowa straw poll, but U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Livonia won't be among them.
Michael Clemente, vice president of news, said this evening that McCotter didn’t meet the 1% support in the polls threshold the network and other sponsors required to be included.
By that criteria, the eight presidential hopefuls selected were Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
Participants: Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich
Date/Time: Thursday, August 11th – 9pm EST / 8pm CST on the Fox News Channel

From Bret Baier:
We will be doing Special Report from Iowa starting tomorrow and the debate is on Thursday. We also have a special Iowa Straw Poll show on Saturday so be sure to stay tuned to FNC! Thank you for watching and if YOU have a question for the candidates we want to hear from you.
This video below is Bret and his son, and I thought you might like to see it. Bret is such a good man and I love his show on FOX. ~ Wild Thing
