Does anyone know if daylight savings time is going right now? Unfortunately I'm in one of like 2 states that don't recognize daylight savings time (arizona) and so 9PM eastern can either be 6 or 7:00 here.

It will be 6 for you.

FOX says there will be a backlash from South Carolina voters for the candidates that didn't show up.

Who wants to bet me the OBL topic will be a question tonight, just to force a Republican/Obama love moment?

I don't think there will be 'backlash' as much as the other candidates are shooting themselves in the foot for not stealing Dr. Paul's thunder and skipping out on the event.

It'll do the folks in the audience a lot of good to take a break from Palin, Huckabee, and Romney.

Ain't that the truth.

I don't know who said the backlash thing, but it was some guest on Baier's show. He acted like he knew SCians.

Sitting in downtown Greenville with Josh waiting for debate to start seating.. Just picked up my tickets.. They gave a Carl Rove book with every ticket.. I promptly disposed of it in the nearest garbage can.

+ freaking rep!!!!

You wouldn't happen to have a snowball or two in the cooler, would you?

Damn...

LOL

I would think Dr. Paul is hoping they will ask that question. I would also think they will ask a question about the Boeing plant deal that Obama is trying to deny S. Carolina.

The average voter isn't paying attention yet - but party donors and bigwigs certainly are. They will remember which candidates did not take them seriously.

It costs money to even be in the audience for this thing.

Judging by Chris Wallace's comments, it sounds like they've studied the candidates, tried to anticipate their answers, and have prepared follow-ups. So, this will be interesting...how much will they try to ambush Dr. Paul?

My best guess is that they'll feel him out first for how well he's doing. They'll go in for the kill if he's stumbling, but they just might stay fair if he scares them enough.

Are the questions from the debate questions section at the Fox News website going to be addressed to the candidates?

When they try to ambush Dr. Paul is when he knocks it out of the park, so I hope they do it a lot. The worst is when they just put him off in the corner and ignore him.

 

[Lucille]

I have O'Reilly on now, and he was talking about torture (oh sorry, enhanced interrogation) first thing, and he still is with Ingraham. That is what they'll go after him on.

 

[UtahApocalypse]

do we have anyone on the inside???

 

[Sola_Fide]

How can anyone sit here and watch this fruitball OReilly night after night?

No wonder this country is so backward...
