+rep There is two of us. I feel like a girl before prom night!

Tonight is so huge... Ron has some people on the Right really, really scared.

I offer a prayer for him, his family, his campaign, and his performance tonight.

 

[chronicaust]

Indeed! Let's hope Ron answers both of his questions with vigor and cutting precision.

I see what you did there.

 

[CaptUSA]

Perry will have his minions take care of Paul in this debate... You will easily recognize which candidates are vying for positions in the Perry or Romney camps.

Hitting Perry = trying to save Romney
Hitting Paul = trying to clear the ground for Perry to be the "tea party candidate"

If anyone besides Perry hits Romney, I'd be surprised. What would not surprise me one bit is if Romney has some nice words for Dr. Paul.

 

[RonPaulFever]

I see what you did there.

+rep for catching it

 

[Jingles]

I might have to just watch it on youtube when its done. I'm going to this meeting for a libertarian group tonight at my college. Well, hell if I know we might even watch the debate. I just don't know much about this libertarian club other than their name.

Nah, Huntsman will certainly go after Romney. Mitt is Huntsman's largest roadblock.

Texan against Texan, Mormon against Mormon. Sign of the apocalypse?

Huntsman already knows he's not going to win. It will be interesting to watch whose side he falls on, though.

 

[kylejack]

One thing we had last cycle that I haven't seen this cycle: people adding up how much time each candidate is getting. If Newt and Santorum are polling 1% and still getting more time than Paul, that is absurd.

I was wondering about that

No, it was actually "toady" but some rogue mod changed it arbitrarily.

+ rep in that case.

I predict Ron kicks major ass tonight.

 

[PastaRocket848]

well, he's definitely set himself up to either go big or go home. the establishment candidates are going to be all over him tonight. santorum will throw in his frothy mix, of course. i'm sure the paul/perry feud (is it safe to call it that now?) will be a topic. tonight is big for the campaign for sure. just remember this is the first of several this month... a bad performance wouldn't be the end but it certainly wouldn't help. i'm confident he'll knock it out of the park!

 

[Bruno]

Any confirmation Perry isn't still off fighting fires and will actually be there?

 

[CaptUSA]

santorum will throw in his frothy mix, of course.

 

[KingNothing]

He's already released a commercial going after Mitt. He'll follow it up with more attacks in the debate because he wants to win NH and Mitt is just an empty suit trying to avoid being exposed. Huntsman can really cut in to his support and challenge his position as the "lead moderate"

 

[Dissident]

Is there a thread listing the locations to watch the debate tonight?
