"This is another in a long line in historic events in Tempe, going all the back to Pope John Paul II's visit to the Super Bowl," proclaimed Neil Giuliano, mayor of Tempe, Arizona, in announcing that a presidential debate would take place there next year.

He goes on to say,"When you have the pope and President Clinton in your community, it helps sell your site."
