The Alabama GOP will hold a candidate forum on Monday night, the day before the state’s GOP primary. Via Politico:
The Alabama Republican Party is planning to host a televised event showcasing the GOP presidential field on the eve of next week’s primary, a top state GOP official tells me.
Both Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have committed to appear at an evening forum, Alabama GOP executive director T.J. Maloney said. The event is not a debate — the plan isn’t to grill the candidates or to force them to engage each other. But it promises to give plenty of free-media coverage to the participants.
Mitt Romney has not confirmed whether he will attend.
