Republican Debates for Sale

Get ready for the Taco Bell Republican Presidential Debates! That's right, the RNC is planning to flaunt its corporate love.

Washington (CNN) -- The Republican National Committee is considering sanctioning the GOP presidential primary debates and then selling the broadcast rights to news outlets, two Republicans with knowledge of the idea tell CNN.

The proposal was mentioned last week during a meeting of top RNC officials and a handful of political operatives representing potential GOP presidential candidates.

The Republican primaries are *this close* to becoming NASCAR. At least they'll be rallying their base.
