Per this link... it is at 8 pm EST...can anyone confirm? I have heard several different times

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

That’s my problem as well. Ahhhhh, well. I’ll have to watch the taped debate. :-/

Hope it goes well.

It should be a lovefest. Obama is taking notes. They want they smartest candidate to rip the front runner.

I think the fix is in to give Romney the election. It is to dangerous for the powers that be to have a candidate who might reject the advisor’s positions.

Roll Tide and Roll Herman!

Guess we will have FB on TV and Cain vs. Newt on laptop

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

That’s 3 ‘wells’ I used there. LOL!!! I need a ‘brain freeze’.

” They want the smartest candidate to rip the front runner. “

You beat me to it . I said the fix was in months ago . The deal is Obama gets 4 more years .

I think this could be an intellectual tour de force - both have it in them. I’m really looking forward to seeing a “real debate” debate where ideas are the focus. I don’t expect them to go after each other at all but to put forward their vision as compared to what Obama is doing now. I was waiting for a live thread to appear.

[BenKenobi]

That’s a hoot. :D

I’ll see if I can’t tune in.

Wasn’t it Reagan’s 11th commandment not to do so. I’m expecting a very civil conversation of issues. I think both men respect each other which may bring out the best of both of them.
