East coast viewers will see the first 60 minutes on television, the last 30 minutes will continue airing on CBSNews.com. West coast viewers will get the full 90 minute debate on television according to CBS

That's a bizarre schedule.

Ron Paul should get special child status in this. Truther crap may come out if framed correctly.

Why do they call these “gotcha ops” debates?

These debates are getting WAY out of control. I think that the media is doing this for sound bites only. Moderators are 90-98% Liberal and do not have a clue. They want to make sure that they have a Romney/Obama election. In the whole they just want Conservatives look bad.

If DeMint (a very staunch conservative and Tea Party man) and Lindsey Graham ( a moderate republican) are the two asking the questions...it should not be “gotcha” BUT DeMint is tough...he is a very intelligent man ...so if there is a “gotcha” it will be done by him to one of the candidates in my humble opinion. They all better be ON tonight!

Grahm and Demint asking questions, what a change. Might have to watch it If I can find it. It might be more fun than cleaning out my den and paying bills.

It’s been a long time since CBS was allowed in my living room. Surprised actually, I figured we’d be down to having these things sponsored by the Home Shopping Network by now.

You are 100% correct. I know that I am and can not believe how hard it must be on the candidates. It does give those candidates with less money free airtime, but I do not know how many will continue to watch these debates.

MSM post debate analysis: Romney is the clear winner, the adult in the room, the most presidential, no one comes close, the only one who can win.

I'm just getting it out there ahead of time...
