The feed on hot air is embedded from the site called citizens link.
The moderator is Frank Luntz.
What a non-debate debate?
The sponsors are listing candidates as confirmed: Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
The "Family Leader" couldn't find a conservative?
Here’s the direct link:
I think it’s one of those “multi-candidate forums” where the candidates take turns giving short speeches and taking questions from the moderator & audience. They appear serially - or at most 2 at a time - not all on the stage at once.
Unless I’m wrong.
Update (Allahpundit): Neither Romney nor Huntsman will attend, thus averting any awkward questions about religious differences.
I didn’t know about this. It starts in 20 mins? Wow, thanks for the heads up.
Watching on web now - picture good, but sound needs to be cranked up! (Insufficient band width again, I’m afraid)
I justy got the sound going for the end of Herman cains answer
what was the question ???
They are talking about their Christian belief in God and the Bible and trusting and believing in God
Wonder if this is the main reason the 2 Mormons stayed away
Cain
Bachmann
Perry
Santorum
All great answers !!!
bold trust in the LORD God of the Christian Bible...
Church service or debate?
What was the law that Lyndon Johnson passed in the 50’s which silenced preachers from talking about politics in the pulpit which was referred to by Rep. Bachmann?
Excellent so far
Rick Perry really takes the gibes with good humor. Takes it like a man. Gotta admire that. Sounds comfortable and reasonable too. I like this forum. They should do one every week for about three hours.
This is very interesting and further emphasizes that any one of the Republican candidates would be superior to the current occupier of the White House!
So far very impressed by all. Newt, Cain and Paul really good, Bachmann doing well do, dido Perry, Santorum needs to stop patting himself on the back. Next session is going to be hard on Newt, personal mistakes, lol, good luck Newt.
Is there a place that the entire thing can be seen uninterrupted?
Is it just me, or is there a noticeable absence of vitriol, ugliness and hyperbole on this thread...compared to other campaign threads?
And is there a heightened sense of civility and respect?
Maybe because Faith is the core topic?
That must be like insect repellent to the ugliness we’ve all experienced.
Oh...that ALL of the campaign threads could be like this!

I hate to say it, but Frank Luntz is doing a great job!
Don’t generally like him and was dreading his moderation of this, but he’s done well tonite.
Thanks for that post. Listened to the whole thing. Interesting look at them all.
Where’s the re-play?
