All this trying to set one against the other with questions doesn’t give the voters a lot of information, and that is mostly history that took place in different states and different economic times. More useful information would come from their plans to improve the US economy.

Well, I've said it before but I think it bears repeating.

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 hate that MSNBC is hosting this. Why did they agree to it??”

I don’t get it either. I know why MSNBC wanted it - to see a cat/dog fight they can mock from now on. Imagine their lengthy rehash (which will be on immediately afterward) - Maddow, Matthews, O’Donnell, all their lefty loudmouths. It’ll be sickening.

I like Cain too. This morning on KLIF a caller said he could never support Perry because he never got over the Debra Medina/Glenn Beck/Rick Perry/Sarah Palin ordeal. Amazing.

Cain is the one I relate to the most (even though I have no problems with several of them.) It is plain, bullet pointed plans that can be enacted. Not high and mighty political talking points.
