Bloomberg and The Washington Post to Host GOP Debate
New Hampshire Debate to Focus on Economic Issues
WASHINGTON, DC -- Bloomberg and The Washington Post will host a Republican presidential candidate debate on Oct. 11 at Dartmouth College that focuses on the issues voters say they care about most: jobs, deficits, taxes and the economy.
Partnering with Bloomberg News and The Washington Post will be WBIN, the New Hampshire television station, which will broadcast the debate statewide. Bloomberg Television will broadcast the debate globally, and washingtonpostlive.com, which has 16 million viewers, will stream the event in real time.
The Bloomberg-Washington Post debate will be the first of the 2012 campaign devoted to the single subject of the U.S. economy. Three years after the most severe downturn in the economy since the Great Depression, the candidates will debate over federal spending, deficits and debt, Social Security, Medicare, financial regulatory reform, taxes and the top issue in national polls: jobs.

The Bloomberg Terminal reaches more than 300,000 global financial professionals, Bloomberg.com reaches nearly 12 million users each month, and Bloomberg Businessweek and BloombergBusinessweek.com reach 10 million readers.
