They said they are putting Newt next to Mitt. Considering that Mitt tends to touch...I'd say they were setting Newt up.

Newt is brilliant, is a good leader and knows the system. He just blows everyone away.

I’d love for a REAL conservative debate. Why not Hillsdale college host a debate with constitutionalists moderating it? They’ve only held five thousand debates, what’s another one?

Does anyone care about this, aren’t we debated out? Did you even know this this was happening? Probably not, and who the heck cares.

The blamestream media has lost all their influence, and the “conservative commentators”, who’ve infiltrated our side, have been outed. They are no longer a factor. This is why the polls are rejecting Romney. We don’t want him. Period.

We’re going to nominate our guy, not theirs.

I’m not a Donald fan, but, I realize they are gun shy because he is considering a 3rd party run. Why do a debate if the moderator may perhaps run against you? The Donald debate is illogical. I’d bow out if I were a candidate.

Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos

Makes about as much sense as Eisenhower putting Berlin Betty in charge of communications before D-Day.

Diane and Stephie are Obama’s most loyal Lewinskys, and they’re okay, but somehow Trump is beyond the pale to ask questions?

Makes zero sense to me.

A-FREAKIN-MEN to what you posted. So sick of lib moderators. Their questions might as well be rolled into one line: “So why are you such a radical, extremist, environmental hater, war lover, out to destroy, immigrants, children, women and the poor polar bears?”

Agreed. Plus anything Trump is involved with is only about one thing... Trump.

When it comes to attacking Newt Gingrich..not much difference between Diane Sawyer and Karl Rove.

I want a debate moderated by Rusty Humphries, Michael Savage and Jerry Doyle.

ABC News say its livestream will start at 8:30 PM EST, so I guess it’s promotional stuff for a 1/2 hour before the debate:
http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2011/12/abc-news-gop-debate-tonight-at-9pm-et-from-iowa/

And here’s the direct link to the ABC homepage, which will likely soon make prominent the livestream link:
http://abcnews.go.com/

Plus Yahoo says it will livestream the debate; here’s the homepage:
http://www.yahoo.com/

Plus this site says it will livestream the debate; looks like it has an embedded ABC feed, either the videobox on top or at the bottom:

Friend reported that biased ABC News is already at work.

Mitt Romney! Mitt Romney!

Running with John Sununu quotation without background.

Said they heard it on ABC 7 channel Los Angeles.

Here are the background details that pandering ABC will not give...

I’ve pretty much lost all interest in the GOP race since the blamestream media lynched Herman Cain, and all the republicans pretty much let it happen... I don’t really care anymore.

I have similar feelings, but the object is to get rid of the Marxist currently in the White House. If it's Newt, so be it.

Sununu’s dispute with Gingrich is that the later opposed Sununu’s brilliant political advice the Bush I to break the “no new taxes” pledge. He hates Newt for it, and the old bastard has a long memory. Happily, no one in Iowa gives a damn about what Sununu thinks.
