republican presidential head to Myrtle Beach

Three days and counting until republican presidential hopefuls go head to head on the Grand Strand for the G.O.P. Primary Debate.
Thousands are expected to head to Myrtle Beach for the debate this Thursday. Political experts say the Republican race could very well be decided that night. And, the event is just as important for Myrtle Beach.
The Myrtle Beach Convention Center will house the G.O.P. debate Thursday, bringing worldwide exposure to Myrtle Beach. The center is already the temporary headquarters for the state republican party. Rob Godfrey is the spokesman for the South Carolina Republican Party. "We're planning to welcome hundred of volunteers here. Logistics for all those volunteers, and we're going to accommodate journalists from across the world."
Road closures are expected to be announced Tuesday morning. The debate starts Thursday on Fox News Channel at 9:00 p.m.
