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.

Bachmann is a bitch. Newt was a private consultant and earned his money...did NO lobbying.

Michelle has Barbie Doll makeup.

...and Bachmann takes the bait again. When will she stop going after the other candidates and start focusing on Obama?

[TitansAFC]

Wallace going guns blazing on Newt.

The Fox nuclear attack against Newt is in full rage.

The tragedy is that Freddie and Fannie are still running rampant.

Bachmann nails it!

[geege]

It does look like it’s going to fall off....I hope he doesn’t sneeze...

Personally rooting for Santorum to have a break-out moment.

Same here. I have been saying for a while now that his biggest problem is that he does not show passion or a sense of humor.

[Allegra]

Let us return to Lincoln-Douglas style debates in a multi candidate forum, no podiums, no notes, no pens, no teleprompter, no stupid anchors, one time keeper, and NO "TWEETS".

I agree with that wholeheartedly.

I'd go farther and say no live audience (equivalent of a laugh track.)

These things we have now are nothing more than media-controlled soundbite-generators.

Right you are onyx.Newt is the smartest and fastest on his feet among this group there has been no change.It's amazing to me how so many want to destroy him when he is by far our best conservative choice to getting rid of zero.Mitt can win but what do we get with Mitt.

Right you are,rodguy911!

This "in the tank for Romney", has to be brought to a stop by the voters.

Oh my Lord, can you believe what Bachmann is saying?

She is out of her mind!

Why would she spew outright lies?

[dragnet2]

Newt up against the ropes...

I got millions, but never lobbied!

lol

[CASchack]

Bachmann trying to score points on Newt. If Freddie Mac had come to her in the private sector to represent them, she would have cashed the retainer check before the ink was dry on it.

[Jim Robinson]

Many of the questions tonight are designed as opportunities to attack Gingrich.

[ClearCase_guy]

They are really pushing the candidates to attack Gingrich. Take him down! Take him down! He’s threatening Romney’s inevitable nomination!!!

[tentmaker]

Paul’s eyebrow will soon go into the pupae stage...I wonder what will emerge?

Best Ron Paul eyebrow comment of the night so far...

[Red_Devil 232]

Wallace is doing nothing but trying to instigate a fight between these candidates - his questions are ridiculous!

[angelcindy]

God what is Fox’s number??? I’m sick of these attacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wallace is disquisting!!!! tell her Newt!!!

[Island Girl]

If I’m sitting here noticing Michele’s big ears then you know for sure it’s boring! Terrible format....

[floriduh voter]

Great job consulting. Freddie Mac’s broke.
