I’ll try to go find it. I have your mail.
One we’d all pay good $ to see and it’s FREE on C-SPAN!
It will be better than watching two border RINOs square off about illegal gardners.
I think Obama has his hands in the scheduling.
I’ve got my beef cooking, my potatoes already cut and ready for my mashed potatoes, will make my gravy......and my American beer!
All set for our REAL American “debate”!!!
Pinganator!

Great now I have to make more mashed potatoes because I ate all mine. :)
Got another hour before I have to put my potatoes on here before the Bama-LSU game. Cain won’t be on till 930 here.
Which is it? 7pm CST or 930 CST?
I still don’t get why Cain is giving Newt such a huge opportunity.
Oh, and biscuits!!
Hi Edinva....I’ll be watching this for sure...and you’re exactly right people would pay to see this....it’s past time for a “real” debate on the issues. Am looking forward to hearing what they both say.
I know C-span is carrying this but I wondered if any of the media will pick it up ...probably just a reference...if that.
No apple pie???
No thanks!
My DirecTV on screen reads 7:00PM - I live in the Central Daylight Savings Time Zone, until the clocks change tonight at 2:00AM.
Get peeling and cutting!!! You can do it before hand and leave them in the fridge, in the pot, covered in water and salt. Just put mine on the stove.
I must be ready by 8pm.
Woo hoo!! This should be great!! Hope it catches on.
Onyx...am in the northEast here....got 15 minutes before 7:00 but I thought it was going to be 8:00 here when this shows...
Thanks for making me hungry an hour before dinner. :p
Didn’t someone tell you that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach?

Report from C-SPAN:
GOP presidential candidates Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich engage in a 90 minute debate hosted by the Texas Tea Party PAC. There is no moderator and the two candidates discuss and respond to each other’s positions on domestic policy in The Woodlands, TX.
The debate is divided into three parts, with each part focusing on one entitlement program – Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
In previous media-moderated debates, Gingrich said repeatedly that should he be the GOP nominee, he would challenge President Obama to Lincoln-Douglas style debates.
Cain has risen in the polls recently with his 9-9-9 tax plan, but the media has focused this week on two previous settlements with women alleging he sexual harassed them while he lead the National Restaurant Association.
The Lincoln-Douglas debates were a series of three-hour debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas during the 1858 Illinois Senate race. In the format, one candidate would start with a 60 minute statement, and his opponent would get 90 minutes to respond. The first speaker then got a 30 minute rebuttal. The two candidates took turns speaking first.
