That sounds like just the right kind of group to host the first presidential debate, doesn't it?

Notorious GOP Lobbying Firm Is First Presidential Debate Host

Sounds more like a typical Brain post.

January 24, 2011 - Date set for first GOP 2012 debate

Simi Valley, CA – The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation announced today that May 2, 2011 is the date for the Republican presidential candidates’ debate being held at the Reagan Library. The Reagan Foundation also announced a host of details about the first Republican debate of the 2012 campaign season...

Brian Williams, anchor of the top-rated NBC Nightly News, will be co-moderator, along with POLITICO Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris, a presidential scholar and one of the nation's top political journalists. A Telemundo reporter will also join in the questioning. NBC News and POLITICO will be joined by Telemundo and CNBC in airing the debate.

Century Strategies, the lobbying firm that actually hosted the debate in question, is run by a heavyweight champ of GOP seaze, Ralph Reed. The company specialized in ginning up evangelical support for Jack Abramoff's worst clients, including the forced prostitution, forced abortion sweatshops in the Mariana Islands.

I didn't miss his troll threads at all when he was gone. IMO, threads like this are just another data point on the graph of the devolutionary death spiral of P&R.

It is? Funny the Reed front group thinks it went well:

RCP seems to think its real as well

So does Reuters:

There really are a lot of news story for something that didn't happen:

That dog and pony show in Iowa was simply a "forum" for prospective candidates to try out their act, more to showcase its host than anything else. It was not a "debate," and Mitt Romney, Mitch Daniels, and Haley Barbour didn’t even bother to show up.

I have to ask if you made that up yourself. I know I've used it and a search would reveal that, but I don't think I made it up. It may be something I heard decades ago and it just got regurgitated to the top of my mind "somehow".
 
But it does speak the point quite well doesn't it ? It's ALL for show. It IS a show. And the show must go on.

They want Huffpost to do it, probably.

I did indeed make it up, yes... back in the late 19th century, in previous life.
