The last debate before the January 3rd Iowa caucuses is being held tonight in Sioux City.
We get seven candidates at this debate: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman.
Fox's Bret Baier anchors the debate. Fox News panelists questioning the candidates: Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Neil Cavuto.
I agree and like what someone said about Perry, something about “the kind of guy you want to hang out with and maybe have a beer”, and he is solidly conservative on most issues but he’s just not quite up to the challenge here. Besides Newt, he’s the only one I’d happily vote for among this group.
Perry on holder.....
Yeah - it's gotten better... much better. Go Newt.
Finally Fast and Furious question!
Yes! Perry is on his game tonight!
He is a very extraordinary fellow...He is the right man, at the right time...no, He's not perfect...just perfect for the job at hand!
Perry gave a good answer on Holder
Yes, that will be the next wave. The Center for Health Transformation, a for-profit company where BCBS and other big health insurers, as well as Big Pharma company, paid huge "membership fees" for access to Mr. Gingrich.
Then, lessee . . . probably his association with the ethanol lobby. (Oh, did you know his present wife was the Chief Clerk of the House Committee on Agriculture for many years, just when so many of those hearings on ethanol subsidies and tax goodies were held?)
Fox has a last round tactic to attack. Just wait for it.
Agreed. Texans are sometimes castigated for saying we are the best or biggest at something. We would like to hear how every one of the other States accels at some certain something they do best. Perry has stumbled onto something that makes America what it is. JMHO.
Perry is having his best debate. About time.
Yes, excpet that Obama will never debate Newt or anyone else. Obama just has to stay above the fray.
I am not as concerned about our candidates debating skills as I am about their positions and abilities.
Bravo Perry.. he is on his game tonight.
You are seeing more of the real Perry. To see him wound up see the video on this page where he is with Hannity. To see him thoughtful see the video at the top about the military.

Where do you see/hear Pat Caddell? Twitter?
Grrr.... I need Twitter lessons!
Oh yeah - big time. Ms. Kelly’s turn again.
She will want redemption for her last question.
Perry hitting the nail on the head with this one...
Perry b-slaps 0bozo on F&F. Glad the question came up.
Newt has been parsing this debate and scoring really big points when FOX decides to throw him a little crumb every once in a while.
This has certainly been a biased debate. They are purposefully attacking Newt and avoiding him on questions they know he will hit out of the park.
My opinion of FOX is really below that of MSNBC these days.
