SHANNON TRAVIS, CNN POLITICAL PRODUCER: Well, Ali, some like to say the Republican presidential hopefuls are trying to cozy up to the tea party movement looking for support. This news, they just announced, may have them trying to endear themselves to the Tea Party movement even more. Take a look at what's on the Ticker right now. As you mentioned, CNN will be teaming up with the Tea Party Express to host a first of its kind Tea Party debate. It will be the week of Labor Day in 2011, next year. It's going to be in Tampa. Tampa's important because Tampa is going to be where these - where the Republican National Convention will be, where the person emerges from our debate, and from the race itself, will actually be nominated. So, this is making a lot of - a lot of news. A lot of people are talking about it. We've actually reached out to a number of tea party groups to inform them. We're, actually, inviting tea party activists to be a part of this debate. Send in questions, participate, tickets or what have you. It's going to be talked about by a lot of people, much like our YouTube debate and other debates that we've had in the past, and we're happy to be partnering up with the Tea Party movement. You know that I've been covering the movement for a while now.</s>VELSHI: Yes.</s>TRAVIS: So, we're pretty excited about it.</s>VELSHI: All right. We don't have participants, yet. I mean, we don't know who they are but, by then, we will. And it's going to be a good debate. Shannon, thanks very much for that.</s>TRAVIS: No problem.</s>VELSHI: OK. You're probably getting those New Year's resolutions together. Going to the gym, calling your mother more often. Well, what about your money? You know I harp on this all the time. What should you invest in next year? We'll take a look in just a minute.
