(In keeping with the tradition of the 2008 election season...all debates, primaries, and caucuses will have their own threads to ensure that the political forum continues to run smoothly.)

Discuss.

...and CBS' Scott Pelley will be one of the moderators.

This is going to be a debate where Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Jon Huntsman shine. Rick Perry and Herman Cain are going to get slaughtered.

 

[Prison Mike]

There's another one?

I definitely agree with that.

There's another one?

Oh, there are many more Mike.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I definitely agree with that.

And I forgot Rick Santorum, he regularly gets slaughtered by Ron Paul when foreign policy comes up.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Why is Rick Santorum even doing this...? Does he really think there's some hidden Santormentum for a guy whose name has become a synonym for a lulzy, depraved sexual act? He looks like a smug creep too. Just hate him and his socially judgemental views, while he's the biggest tool out there.

The debate is tonight! I hope Perry shows up to give us some more classic "oops" moments.

That and at only one hour, Paul will get less than 2 minutes of time to talk. I'll watch though...

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I wonder if Perry will remember what office he's running for.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Santorum? More like sanctimonious, am i right?

*waits for applause*

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Santorum? More like --*google searches his name--- yeah that!

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

They should space these debates out more. Everyone but Romney digs a deeper and deeper grave for themselves at each debate.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

The more I look at the line up the more comfortable I am with Romney winning the nomination. He seems like the only one who isn't completely nuts.

I think he'd be a logical moderate in the white house. The others would just take us into a crazy Twilight Zone episode.

Well there is Huntsman. If nothing else this years republican debates is doing wonders for the Mormon faith(hey look they not crazy). lol

 

[enterthemadness]

Um, no cheers or anything for Huntsman and Michelle. Damn.

Last 30 minutes streamed online? Pass, UFC at 9

 

[hippie_hunter]

First question in, Herman Cain is a god damn idiot.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Moderator is an idiot as well.

 

[enterthemadness]

+1 for Paul.

Uh oh at Perry...

 

[hippie_hunter]

You can tell that Perry is uncomfortable at this.

The first 30 minutes of UFC is just building up the fight

 

[hippie_hunter]

It's pretty clear that Huntsman is in his element here.

My lady is watching the Harry Potter marathon so I can't turn up the volume on my monitor. But I'm having lots of fun imagining what they're saying.


Santorum : I'm the only one who worships God on this stage. If they really worshipped God this would be a theocracy by now.

Newt : Buy my book.

Rick Perry : My jobs record speaks for itself. And what it's saying is "awesome".

Bachman : Which one is my camera?

Ron Paul : FREEDOM!!!!

 

[enterthemadness]

Boring, not enough Ron Paul...

 

[hippie_hunter]

I think that Rick Santorum has a couple of mental deficiencies.
