It repeats 3-4 times, so if someone wants to catch it they will.
Also, these days almost everybody can record on one or two channels while watching a third.

Via CNN.com Live website. Possibly, Tea Party Express or some similar Tea Party website, too.

First - Tx newzjunkey for the thread - I won't be able to watch it, but will certainly read comments here later.

As to 'Who the Hell is responsible for this?' - First and foremost - leftist media, in hopes of doing as much damage as possible to GOP front-runners. Second and just as responsible - the candidates, that will leap at every opportunity to get their face and ideas in front of voters - despite the adverse climate they walk into.

Last - but certainly not least - all voters that have little genuine interest in who wins, like to see these things to help them keep up a little bit with what is going on in the race. Their viewing of these farces becomes a barometer of sorts by which leftist media learns how to drive their opposition to front-running candidates.

We've already seen what media has done with the last debate, whipping Perry hour by hour over his mention of the SS ponzi-scheme - while swooning over every word that comes from the mouth of the failed idiot currently destroying this nation.

Tonight should be a good one. Perry and Romney will surely do battle over social security. And Perry will have a full week of focused energy, unlike last week when he scurried from SC to TX to CA and dealt with wildfires in-between.

I'm just hoping Wolf Blitzer has at least one moment where he muffs his voice and ends a sentence with "and Bmmmmm mmmmm mmmmmbbuh."

Or is that just on SNL?

I wish Huntsman, Paul and Santorum would not participate. They don’t have a chance of winning and they take time from the upper tier candidates.

I doubt any of them pick a VP as classy as Joe.

Am I mistaken in thinking Palin had already accepted invitation to attend debate?

There is a thread just posted that she will not be there.

Report: Sarah Palin turned down invitation to tonight’s CNN/TPX debate

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2777254/posts

Is this the first we are hearing about this? I hadn’t seen it mentioned on any other Palin thread.

“I wish Huntsman, Paul and Santorum would not participate. They don’t have a chance of winning and they take time from the upper tier candidates”

I agree. However Huntsman is the msm darling so they will keep him in as long as posible. Paul is the kooky guy and the msm likes to think all Republicans are like him(nuts). So they will keep him for show. Santorum is the one that will go first.
