CNN GOP debate October 18 - Official Thread

Cool. I don't think the last debate was quite enough to knock Cain down in the polls, so this is just one more opportunity to get it done. With there only being one debate in November it is going to be extremely important for Ron to have a stellar performances from here on out. By the time they get to the December debates most will be decided, will they not?
 
I hope the debate organizers do something creative; I liked the bloomberg format


And hey will gary be there?
 
Debates... worst possible setup for people to learn each candidates positions.

The moderators control the debate, which is their job to a point, but they take it too far. The media has a perfect setup to craft its agenda into reality.

In my opinion, each candidate should answer each question. The first half are questions. The 2nd half each candidate takes a turn to pick one opposing candidate and actually DEBATE. 1 minute for the challenge. 1 minute for challenged, repeat for 2 or 3 rounds, then the challenger gets 30 seconds closing remarks. Equal face time, nobody gets topic skipped. Then we get to see who can stand up to opposition and get a real debate.

The current set up is NOT a debate, its a freaking circus.
 
Ron really needs to seize control in this one and speak up, especially when the others steal his talking points with zero sincerity.

CNN is going to be horrible to him.

"LET RON SPEAK!"
 
Thanks! I was wondering when the next one is. The whole political process is so painful. I wish I was [sic] ignorant then I wouldn't pay attention, I wouldn't know our republic is dead, and I wouldn't know we're going under. Life would be easier. Thanks for nothing Ron Paul.

Just kidding. Kinda.
 
I wonder if they'll allow candidates to ask each other questions. Ron needs another opportunity to bring up the fact that he predicted the crisis.
 
Kinda like a marathon. Just pace yourself. Know that you've done the training, and you're ready for this. Only mile that counts is the last one. Eyes on the prize, gang, eyes on the prize.
 
don't get your hopes up..get ready for some gotcha questions from Anderson and then some ignoring...either Ron speaks up or they will ignore him
