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 LOVE the idea of a part time congress - less time for them to be up to no good.

[ez]

Santorum makes a great wonk, but not a President.

[Zarro]

Mitt...dodging the next question.

[writer33]

Agreed. Perry is doing very well.

[fightinJAG]

I heard him on Hannity yesterday and I had to make sure it was him: he was pretty fired up and tight on target.

Newt is forcing him to campaign differently than he’d wanted to, I think.

That said, there were so many pre-debate questions about whether there was going to be a knock-down, drag-out tonight — and with Newt going on and on about how positive he was going to be and how he wasn’t going to attack anyone — I’m sure Romney, at the least, is not wanting to be goaded into something.

He’s a joke..that no one should even laugh at..

[katiedidit1]

Have to find an alternative to faux news...used to love it but detest it anymore. They are sinking into the gutter.

[Irish Eyes]

Cavuto trys to nail Perry and Perry handles it well.

Applause!!

He is doing very good tonight. The few questions (time) he has received.

[Marcella]

“No, Perry is wearing custom shirts with high neck.”

Then he should stop wearing them. They make him look like a dunce.

[Artcore]

“Oh, good. Huntsman is going to speak. Maybe he’ll tell another hilarious joke.”

"What’s the noise? Oh, yeah. The old man is whining on again... MAN am I sick of that creep’s voice."

I got out of my chair to let the dog out, I thought she had to pee.

Ron Paul is not a gentleman. Did you notice in 2 of the debates the candidates were asked to state something they admired about another of the candidates. Ron Paul wouldn't mention anything, instead he joked that he was happy that sometimes others agree with him. What a whining putz.

[ClearCase_guy]

Romney prob picking Michelle as veep

1) The check is in the mail
2) I will pick you as my veep
3) And I won't ...

[angelcindy]

Where’s the beep for mitt???

[re_nortex]

Ron Paul rambling on aimlessly.

He's been here in Texas since 1968 and, after all those years, he still can't shake his Pittsburgh accent.

[Yaelle]

She’s pretty but her name is horrid. Me-Gyn. Like her privates? Ew.

[blueyon]

“Newt Gingrich says that he never worked for anyone who’s values he didn’t agree with. Doesn’t that make Mrs. Bachmann’s point?”

NO

[onyx]

Here’s the AG question from the two Bush AG’s: Gonzales and Mulsky or whatever his name!

BIG APPLAUSE!

GOOD ON NEWT!

[hugorand]

Romney is like a computer: Take the question and apply the closest talking point, no matter the question.
