Tonight's GOP Presidential debate at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, South Carolina will be hosted by Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the South Carolina GOP. It will begin at 9PM EST.
Confirmed attendees are former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Rep. Ron Paul, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney.
Fox News veteran Bret Baier and Gerald Seib of the Wall Street Journal are tentative moderators of this debate.

We will able to tell how afraid the other candidates are of Newt because they will avoid mentioning his name to give a rebuttal response.
This is one of the tricks they have been using all along
Willard the Lib with his partner in crime, Teddy Kennedy gave us $50 abortions and the public option under RomneyCare’s mandates, exchanges, and subsidies.
Even Obama the Lib didn’t go THAT far.
Electing Willard will only set back conservatism by decades.
“Its been disgusting to see them fighting amongst themselves instead of taking on Obamney”
They are being manipulated by the media and they also don’t want to look racist by attacking obama

Thanks for the thread, I am beginning to hate Fox, the all Romney all the time network.
Hope Newt and Perry pull out all the stops on Mitty's flip flops.
Gingrich generally does that in order to frame his answer based on contextual historical facts. The others just prattle on with little or nothing to substantiate their responses.
One very simple example is the following video clip when an MSNBC reporter interviewed Gingrich and made an unsubstantiated comment regarding Palin:

Newt Gingrich destroys MSNBC reporter

.
Could anyone else, including Palin herself, respond as simply, factually, and succinctly as Gingrich did in the above clip? And turn the tables on the foolish reporter who was incapable of answering Gingrich's question at the end of the interview?
This is why Gingrich can defeat Obama (with or without his teleprompter).
Fox has lost me. They are no longer fair and balanced and Romney is clearly their choice.
I agree. I would bet my bank account right now, double or nothing, that Romney “wins” the debate tonight. Who will call it, Wallace or Rove?
Also, if your post is being “processed”, there is always a little wheel moving under “posting comment” in the upper left hand corner.
So patience...sometimes it takes a while.
They most definitely should not unite against Mitt. They need to take each other out. No matter how many points they shave off Mitt as long as there are 4 of them left standing at the end of the night Mitt wins. Newt needs to make the case to the voters why they need to call and email Santorum and Perry and ask them to drop out and endorse Newt before the vote next week. I can’t see any other way that Mitt doesn’t wrap this up in 2 weeks. Unless Ron Paul (who will never quit) polls 50% against Romney 1 on 1 and I don’t see that in my crystal ball.
Someone remind me - how many delegates have been won? Hundreds? I don’t think so.
Fie on all who are immaculating Romney.
‘69 Mets - Ya gotta believe!
Both! Both are idiots.
Looks like Santorum has dropped the 'Mr. Nice Guy' gloves .... lets hope he, Newt, & even Perry can get some traction against Romney. Prefer they go after Obama, but if the GOP insists on running "Obama-lite" against Obama, the incumbent wins.
2012: MItt Romney vs. Barack Obama
Just vote for the lesser of the two evils.
2016: Howard Dean vs. Barney Frank
Just vote for the lesser of the two evils.
2020: Cynthia McKinney vs. Larry Flynt
Just vote for the lesser of the two evils.
2024: Kim Jong-un vs. Ayman Al-Zawahiri
Just vote for the lesser of the two evils.
Pay no attention to the general trend. You have a nice seat in the handbasket. Just keep repeating: “Cesspools are our friends.”
Perry has nothing to lose. I say he asks Romney straight up how he's supposed to repeal Obamacare when it's modeled after Romneycare.
Then Perry should hit Romney on job creation. 100k next to how many for Perry & TX?
People are buying into the entrepreneur/business crap from Romney, that he can bring the jobs. Stop the madness.
How many debates do these guys need?
I have been expecting Newt to totally ignore the asked questions and simply say what needs saying.
Perhaps tonight is the night for it.
Throw a little Lincoln/Douglass out there.
What can they do? drag him off the stage, stop the show, scream and shout.
