The way I see this debate shaping up is that Cain needs to show folks he’s got the gravatas (sp?) to share the stage with Newt. Newt needs to show he can connect with real people in a personal way not just as a policy wonk. Should be interesting.

Good observation. If they can both play off each other's strengths - Cain's 'personable-ness' and Newt's policy analysis capability, they can both come out even stronger than they are now.

I like the thought of Cain's staying front runner and Newt's overtaking Romney. That second thought gives me grins. :)
