STAND BY YOUR MAN

The final debate before Arizona's GOP presidential primary is just a few hours away and final preparations are underway. The City of Mesa is showing the debate on a huge screen in front of the Mesa Arts Center. Right now organizers are setting up hundreds of chairs as well as tents for food vendors. The whole event is meant to be a bit of a party. Political candidates for Arizona's open US Senate seat are also setting up booths to promote their campaigns to the GOP faithful who are on hand to watch the debate.

Dozens of Ron Paul supporters including a woman named Shay, showed up hours in advance to make sure their candidate is well represented. She said all the Paul supporters standing in front of the venue are now friends.

Arizona is one of two GOP primaries scheduled for next Tuesday.
