C-SPAN delivers: Announces full live coverage of Saturday's Herman Cain-Newt Gingrich debate

Last week, you no doubt recall, we wrote here about the Lincoln-Douglas style debate that Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich agreed to have in Texas this coming Saturday evening. Technically, it's a fundraiser for the Texas Tea Party Patriot PAC.

The lengthy verbal duel, with time for fully-developed answers not 30-second sound bites, was designed to circumvent the media's usual entertainment format, designed to produce TV news, gotchas and show off network stars as interrogators. The topics are current economic and social issues and the timekeeper is Rep. Steve King of Iowa.

This might be good. It’s very surprising to me that Cain agreed to this.

Not surprising to me. Cain will speak to just about anybody with a camera that will take him. It's one thing that's impressed me - he's not afraid to go on liberal shows and cross swords with them. That's something that we need with a candidate, not somebody who shies away from the liberals.

This should be good.

I’d love to see such a debate between Newt and Romney.

Gingrich could be high on crack and still mangle the English language less than Cain, and exhibit better logic and common sense.

I mean Cain answers questions about basic conservative issues like abortion in a way that leaves reporters incredulous, slack jawed, and peeved.

Since these two will probably be the ticket, lets hope they keep it civil and avoid any unintentional fatal wounds.

"Great" it most likely will not be.

I think Cain would be happy to be VP to Gingrich. And then he can learn and be the President after.

Actually works better the other way around.

Fantastic!

Instead of a dog and pony show with the enemy in control, we’ll be able to hear what we should be able to - Just what these two plan to do and how.

I am going to put in a stock of popcorn, a couple extra logs to throw on the fire and enjoy myself immensely.

Adult time.

I see an upside for America. If successful in its aims, this could be a game changer.

It’s in the Woodlands on the northeast side. Clear Lake is on the southeast side.
