Against the NFL? Who scheduled this?

[newzjunkey]

"… questions coming from the moderator, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, as well as from tea party activists, supporters in the audience and voters at locations in Arizona, Ohio and Virginia." CNN

Look for activist "gotcha" questions and politically correct "audience members" asking questions like the Latina asking about immigration, the elderly woman asking about Social Security, etc.

Wow. Yeh, bad scheduling - making it even worse, I have to work open to close today, so I’ll be missing the debate again. On a side note, this thread sure started early.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

So, who are the mods for this one? Will it be a real debate or just another circus act with dancing bears and a clown car?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I’ll (we’ll) be there for the debate. Alright, it’s actually a “debate watching party” at the Tampa Fairgrounds. 20 or so Freepers will be there together. Don’t know if I’ll be able to do any posting, but I’ll try to give it a shot.

[Jane Long]

[Drrdot]

Does anyone know if this debate will be aired live online anywhere?

[Signalman]

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.

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

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

Another one? My take on this whole debate thing...

The debate format and commentators are themselves another battle front.

Why should conservatives hand over their microphone and message to the leftists in the MSM who ask a bunch of stupid questions and not only make themselves look stupid, but more importantly silence the message of the conservative candidates who have the answers for America and instead make them also look stupid and marginalized?

I think the conservative candidates with their head screwed on straight should band together and demand ground rules that include conservative moderators and questions that go the heart of the issues that threaten our country's future. They should also widely publicize these demands to the American people and figure out their own live video debate if they can't get cooperation.

I saw on a Drudge headlined news report that the guest (Perry spoke bout on his FB page) looks like it will be Jindal.

[don-o]

Thanks for the thread. Do we thin the heard tonight?

[Reagan Man]

Good Lord.

CNN over dramatizing the start of this debate.

[Hugin]

I predict Newt will make the most interesting, and intelligent statement in the joint press confernce they call a debate.
