The OFFICIAL (10/11/11) Debate Thread! - Bloomberg / WaPo @ Dartmouth

[Merk]

I am sure he will. I can see that Doug is responsible for a lot of the recent success and deserves a ton of thanks from all of us.

But I bet Ron gets to speak for 5 minutes tops.

If/when they skip Ron on all the questions he is best suited to answer, I'd love to hear the audience bring the live broadcast to a halt with a chant of,

"Let Ron Speak!"

In the US the syntax is mm/dd/yy

We're both wrong - the format to use is yyyy-mm-dd because 1) the century is unambiguous and 2) it's sortable.

Anyone know where I can watch this thing online?

 

[Crotale]

Anyone know the time of the debate in GMT?

EDIT: 100th post.

 

[Xelaetaks]

I'm calling Bloomberg requesting fair air time for Ron Paul.

EDIT: 100th post.

It is on at 5PM PDT and I am -8 from GMT. 17:00hr + 8 = 25 so I am thinking 1:00am Wednesday for your time. Actually I was going off of EST but I see the debates are in a EDT so the difference is -7 or -4 for you so midnight your time.

Cool, I'll set my alarm.

Who cares about college tommorow?

It's probably already posted somewhere, but is there a live stream over the web for this debate tonight? If so please link. Thanks.

I hope this debate will be better than CNN, Fox or NBC. Bloomberg seems to be more of a serious news network compared to the others so I hope they won't ask b/s questions.

I'm in GMT+1, so debates (and NHL games) are always really late for me.

Luckily tomorrow's a bank holiday here in Spain

This really is the forum that could be awesome for RP if he does certain things, if not, it'll just be another 'day' without significance.

1. He MUST point out that he predicted the collapse, the housing bubble, the subprime problem and so forth.
2. He MUST point out that Cain said there was no housing bubble and everything was fine while he was with the fed, while RP predicted this long ago
3. He MUST point out that in the 2008 election Romeny and the likes were saying 'its all fine'... while RP was warning of serious problems

4. He MUST make this point..'Do you want to follow people who were wrong before and now say things to win elections, or someone who was right all along to lead this country out of this economic crisis? That is really the choice people have to make."

I REALLY REALLY hope that campaign advisers have told him to go after Cain on his housing bubble remarks and so forth. This would be a MISSED opportunity. Perry has gone down the toilet, and now its time for Cain. But if he doesn't make this a point to mention we really gained nothing.

Someone with contact to the campaign please tell Ron to do this. This is the only thing that will give us some boost. These new 'Cain' folks just jumped ship, they haven't solidified on the guy, and if you can discredit him right now, before people get used to him, the effect wiill be huge, they will jump ship again- hopefully towards Paul.

This is going to be the best debate for Paul yet.
Its on his topic, I have some faith that Bloomberg is going to give Paul more time, and its "economy specifics" day - which means a lot of other candidates are going to be saying:
humma-humma-hummina...

I also recon its going to be a very long night for Cain.
Perry will do well, unless hes pressed. Then he will repeat what he said well again, and look silly doing it, but not really lose too much face.
Overall, its not so much Rons night to shine as much as it is Cains to lose.

... which means if Cain drops the ball here (and I can see that happening) then Ron will find himself in second or a closer third (due to numbers.

theres more but Im outy. g2g latea
