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 hope they give equal time to the candidates.

Not looking good so far. :(

If you want THREE debates..you ASK for SEVEN....

[BAW]

God question to Ron Paul from megan Kelly - “Will you pledge here tonight to support the eventual candidate?”
And, he didn’t answer it.

[preamble]

Thank god Ron Paul turned the question around.

I hate electibility and horse race issues. Who the BLANK cares?

talk about issues.

I hate these questions.

[geege]

Paul’s eyebrows are crooked....LOL....Look at them, he must have glued them in the dark.....

[Pravious]

Someone told Santorum to smile. I’ve never seen such a fake smile in my LIFE.

Speaking of Christmas, whenever I hear Ron Paul speak, I am reminded of that guy that used to sing “I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas...on that yolly holiday...I’ll go in the red, like a knucklehead...and I’ll squander all my pay...”

[Cato in PA]

I find it strange how often Santorum uses “we” to refer to himself.

[onyx]

Santorum trashed Sarah Palin early on and got slammed for it.

[imchris]

Everyone’s makeup is good tonight, even the eye-brow candidate looks fine.

[TitansAFC]

Newt got the loudest cheers.

Also, answered both parts of a two-part question VERY well. Ron Paul helped out with the “Anyone will beat Obama” comment.

[pulaskibush]

Oh crap, Megan Kelly is now talking about the always left until the last moment polls. Gingrich just talked about how the polls were so wrong with Reagan vs. Carter!

[mylife]

Santorumn takes a pot shot at Newts personal life...

[presently no screen name]

Santorum made basically a public plea for her endorsement.

I didn't know that! Thanks. So he is more interested in our country and not himself - just like Sarah. That's patriotism!

[Diogenesis]

The ineligible Mitt 'Hussein' Romney:
"I bet you $10,000 that the FOX News debate will be fixed
for me with easy questions.
Watch Chris Wallace pimp me with softball questions
which I won't even have to answer ---
while YOU rot in jail for the same thing.”

[geege]

They’re crooked!!!!!

[Raebie]

Mitt never anwers the question.

[TitansAFC]

Mitt answers every question with the same platitudes.

ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!

[Pravious]

Romney The Robot asked a direct question.

Ignores it and goes into talking points.

SIGH.

[katiedidit1]

Chris Wallace is the one to watch tonight. He was on Fox bashing Newt earlier.
