Democratic Debate in Myrtle Beach

The national spotlight will once again shine intensely on the Grand Strand.
Monday morning, CNN'S American Morning will host their show live in front of The Palace in Myrtle Beach. Their big story is the Democratic Debate.
The political showdown between the democratic front-runners will only last a short time, but CNN Bureau Chief David Bohrman says the preparation takes hours and lots of manpower.
Bohrman said there are more than 100 CNN crew members putting the cameras in place, framing the shots and setting the audio.
Bohrman says one of the biggest challenges is the set. Its been a lot of places and had its share of wear and tear.
"The first place we put this set was on a hockey rink in New Hampshire. Its been in the Citadel in the big gym, but this is a much more intimate theater and we've tried to adapt to that intimacy," he said.
So far, its been a smooth ride and when the nation tunes in, Bohrman says is the best part. "Sitting in the truck, putting the debate on the air listening to the candidates answers. Pushing wolf, joe johns and suzanne to get some...some tough questions asked and get some really good answers out of the candidates."
It's not only been a long day for cnn but dozens of volunteers were inside the palace theatre, helping prepare for the debate.
If you're not going to the debate, police are urging everyone to avoid this area tomorrow, near 17 bypass and 21st avenue.
