Oh boy, can’t wait for a zinger from Bachmann.
Actually, I will wait and watch the vid online tomorrow.
Not seen since debate #1, Gov. Gary Johnson (NM) returns.
Joining Tim Pawlenty on the sidelines, Thad McCotter drops out of race for GOP presidential nomination and endorses Mitt Romney.
Here we go again.
Did the time change? I thought it started at 8 ET?
What uber-liberal is moderating the debate?
Bret Baier, Chris Wallace moderating. Some questions will come from YouTube videos.
Fox starts their debates at 9pm ET.
Oh no, a grown-up discussion about real economic solutions, forget that and join with me,
Pass this bill!
Louder! Pass this bill!
It's our old friend Chris Wallace with Bret Baier.
There may be a third, Megyn Kelly.
Milt to DiMasi: "See you in eight, partner."
Really? I'll be watching for sure.
Mark for later
With Bret Baier and Chris Wallace moderating, this cartoon will be a waste of time.
We’re going to rent a movie.
***He is a retired Air Force captain for former farmer***
I didn’t know farmers had tactical weapons;)
Bret Baier I like.
Chris Wallace made a fool of himself moderating the last FOX News debate. I certainly hope he is better tonight.
I hope they actually get to discuss the economy/job, debt/deficit, and taxes/spending tonight unlike the other debates.
With Chris Wallace "moderating" this, I'm thinking we'll get more fluff than substance :(
