Watch the preview for the rules and a little insight about the questions and the questioners.

Short commercial ad first.

Six candidates are participating.

Eddie Haskell Hunstman has declined the invitation.

Herman Cain suspended his campaign today and will not participate.

[GoCards]

Im wallowing in Shiner Bock tonite due to the circumstances of the day. I will follow the thread but cannot watch my second and third choices tonite, lol :) A new day tommorrow.

[org.whodat]

Vt, beats Clemson starting at eight, no question as to which is most interesting.

[biggredd1]

presidential run ended....woman claims affair....

[cripplecreek]

Kinda looking forward to this one. I like the format the Huckster laid out.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Just couldn’t resist, could ya!

;-)

[onyx]

I know! I thought I’d better do it, so that members who want to set TIVO or recorders would have plenty of notice.

[onyx]

Undoubedtly! You can always set your recorder. I mean, it’s only the nomination...lol.

[onyx]

I will likely watch the debate from my comfy couch and read the thread when a boring candidate talks...ooops, no Hunstman.

[onyx]

It’s the same as Jim DeMint’s and his forum was excellent.

[Mountain Mary]

Badgers vs Michigan State. ON WISCONSIN! Sorry Huckster.

[Outlaw Woman]

Onyx do you happen to know of a link?

tia

[goodwithagun]

Yep, I’ve been craving a cosmo since the announcement. I just can’t wait for the RNC to call me for a donation. The poor soul on the other end of the line won’t know what hit him/her.

If obama is reelected it is the direct fault of the RNC.

[cripplecreek]

He said that even mentioning another GOP candidates name would be off limits.

I think its a good idea. Debates are debates and this is for the candidates to speak about themselves and their own plans.

[tirednvirginia]

Go Hokies! First time ever agreeing with you. LOL

[skr]

Thank you!

[onyx]

An online link?

I don’t. I’m so sorry.

[onyx]

Right!

I love that rule!

Speak for yourself and your own ideas and policies!

[Outlaw Woman]

Here’s one just in case someone wants to try it. Thx for starting the thread Onyx.

[onyx]

You betcha!

I hope we all find it interesting and that we learn more about our candidates!

[WalterSkinner]

..I haven't had a major candidate succeed in 7 years--but I have to watch

G*d help me I do love it so...

[onyx]

GOOD on you, resourceful Outlaw Woman!!!!

[TheConservativeParty]

“Eddie Haskell Huntsman has declined the invitation.”

A much needed laugh!

I suppose I will watch the debate.

The FR threads about a debate are always better than the debate itself.

Congrats on the 12 years at FR! That was a fun thread.

[onyx]

Gosh. I know exactly how you’re feeling!

[Outlaw Woman]

Thx Onyx! Usually I can rely on the live threads but I know you are busy. Have to use my smartphone...keeping fingers and toes crossed. :)

[onyx]

Hiya TCP!!!
I just have to watch, too.

Yeah, that Huntsman with all his idiotic, kissy acknowledgments and name dropping in every debate reminds me of Eddie Haskell....LOL. I'm so happy the colossal bore is not appearing tonight!

The questions are supposed to be detailed, so this forum could be very revealing. I've already said a prayer for every one of our *conservatives* to do their very best.

[onyx]

Well, I was away eating my dinner, but I’m back here now awaiting the start!

Pondering whether they drew numbers from a hat for the order of appearance.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Just saw this on Drudge and thought it might make for a quick reminder before the debate just how important this election is.

We must turn this Country around!

[Raebie]

Thanks for the thread Onxy. Should be a good format.

[Red_Devil 232]

I am watching my brew bucket bubble about once every 5 seconds - quite interesting.

[mylife]

Here we go!

[onyx]

Each one gets 11 minutes!!!!

[mylife]

Herman and Huntsman declined.

[onyx]

Good on her!

[Raebie]

I like it.

[onyx]

Serious issues and serious questions!

Great format!

Just like Senator DeMint’s.

[BCrago66]

OK it’s not a debate. It’s a joint appearance. I like that there’s no audience; Huck usually packs the place with goober tourists.

[mylife]

Amen! Cucinelli and Bondi are spot on!

[onyx]

Three wonderful Republic AG’s to pose the questions!

Newt Gingrich is up first!

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

What the hell? If these yahoos wanted to make tedious speeches they should have run for president themselves.

Hank

[llandres]

Bfl

[onyx]

Hank!!!

Peeps need to know who they are! LOL.

Newt Gingrich is answering Pam Bondi’s questions.

Now getting questions about individual mandate and explaining its origins at Heritage = versus Hillary care.

[mylife]

Newt is right, I would rather be judged by a jury of my piers than Washington bureaucrats.

Now he is back pedaling on cap and trade.

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

"Huck usually packs the place with goober tourists...."

LMAO!! So true!

Hank

[LUV W]

I hope having Republicans asking the questions will give us the answers WE are looking for instead of playing “gotcha”!

[mylife]

Newt sounds like the consummate insider.

[not2worry]

I’m going to a Recovery Meeting for withdrawal and grief I am experiencing from Herman Cain suspending his run for POTUS.

My name is not2worryluv and I am addicted to the principles of being a Conservative. I want to continue support a party who represents the principles of Conservatives and a Candidate that represents those principles. I have no place to go.

This may be a long recovery - perhaps I need to consider joining the Herman Cain Support Group on line?

[mylife]

Bfl?
