Damn gonna miss this one.  Hope Newt wins.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I hope they allow applause.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I have a men's meeting at 7:00, when this debate begins, so I'll have to catch the 10:00 replay.

Blitzer said in a radio interview this morning that there will be no personal questions and only restrained applause will be allowed.

God damn Romneybots

SET GINGRICH FREE

[Old Man Willow]

Don't worry, Gingrich will find a way to play victim. Hopefully people will see through this disengenious troll.

GINGRICH IS BEING PERSECUTED BY THE ROMNEY MEDIA

I was mildly interested in tonight's debate until you reminded me who was hosting it.

Romney's strategy should be obvious here: come across as the grownup, i.e. Presidential.

[Eraserhead]

Go Newt! Sink Wolf Blitzer's U-boat!

This is a Republican primary. That would be counter-productive.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

Newt will win because Mittens will be out for blood tonight he will be snapping at everyone and stuff.

Glad it’s in Jacksonville. The debate in Tampa was Cuba centric, not Florida centric. I repeat my last statement (which was made in error, I should add) that anything south of Indian River county's southern line is worthless.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Hopefully, Newt and Wolf (who the f@ck comes up with these names?) get into a fight and the audience eggs them on.

[Insula Dei]

Go Newt!

Out of curiosity, what about Cuban issues was discussed in the last debate? It's a policy area which interests me, but I missed the debate.

[RogueBeaver]

How can those of us who don't have CNN access tonight (I don't have TV access tonight- and only American IPs can get a direct livestream) watch it?

South of Indian River supplied McCain with nearly 40% of his votes in Florida. Hardly worthless in a GOP primary.

[Dereich]

God, I am SOOO happy I get to attend this debate! Mittens will have at least one audience member screaming for him instead of at him!

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Go Ron!!!!!!

[Joe Biden 2020]

Go Mittens.

[Thomas D]

This should be fun.

It wasn't that long ago, this election cycle - it was being said, that debates we're a waste of time.. go figure

btw, I'm wondering if one of blitz's ?'s for Romney will be;
Gov. Romney, how much of the 21M that you made last year - do you figure, was the result of the rise in fuel & food cost? When Obama was elected, gasoline was 1.35 a gallon, hasn't Pres. Obama helped you make that money last year?

This thread is a great example of how American politics have become little more than a spectator sport.
