I”m thinking TV will have to stay away from this; since only two candidates were invited, all the other candidates would scream about wanting equal access if a network covered this one. Or, it might get counted as an in-kind campaign contribution.

It's long past time for the candidates (Ds -and- Rs alike) to quit letting the alleged "journalists" control the debates, and let some true thinkers have at it!Amen to that (don't care about the D's, actually). And kudos to Cain for putting his growing front-runner status on the line with a skilled debater like Gingrich. It shows the same self-confidence as that "Give Pizza A Chance" video that we're not supposed to post anymore :)
P.S. I suspect Fox or C-Span would run this in a minute, but I've got a hunch the fund-raising aspect is important to both -- not that there's anything wrong with that.

Good.
That will keep the Riff-Raff out.

If the idiot journalist who produced this screed thinks the ticket is a “steep price”, I wonder what he would call any function at which Obama or Biden appears?

LOL.... You’re tricky. Perhaps you meant to use this quote.

That's about the next-best setup of the current "Contenders", IMHO

I could live with that with no problem. A regular guy and one that can beat the pants off anybody out there on political knowledge. Can't think of a soul on either side that can stand toe to toe on the issues and how our country was founded. Gingrich will bulldoze the competition/

This is true and what impresses me most is Cain is not afraid to go head to head with Gingrich, what we need in a President now is one who has no fear.

I would gladly pay $1000 to attend, but my eyes, ears and legs aren’t so good anymore. So I just might be sending Herman Cain $1000 anyway.

To: Izzy Dunne
Kudos to him for getting into the ring with Newt.Indeed. I suspect Newt will mop the floor with him. This ought to be exactly the type of setting that Newt should thrive on. If Cain can even hold his own in a forum like this, he'll be a much stronger candidate than anyone gives him credit for being.

Cain is unflappable. I’m nervous for him, though, lol. There is no doubt Newt knows more policy than Cain he’s a walking encyclopedia. But Cain connects with people better than Newt. We’ll see!
