CNBC/MSNBC/Wall Street Journal Debate.........

The debate format, as well as its moderator, will be determined after further discussions with representatives from the respective campaigns.

[Reagan Man]

Looks like the top tier is bypassing the September 27, 2007 PBS sponsored debate in Baltimore Maryland.

“This debate will focus on issues that are at the heart of every Presidential election, namely the economy, taxes, fiscal discipline and government regulation,” said Mark Hoffman, CNBC President. “This will mark the first time in the 2008 presidential campaign that all declared Republican candidates will be asked to provide voters with specific plans for the American economy and American workers in an increasingly global marketplace.”

A debate sponsored by, and moderated by the Kennedy wing of the Republican party.

The two-hour debate is scheduled to be held on October 9 in Dearborn, Mich. and will be broadcast live on CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, at 4 PM ET and re-broadcast on MSNBC at 9 PM ET that evening.

A Tuesday afternoon debate?

Rebroadcast on PMSNBC against Hannity and Colmes?

That format pretty much guarantees that nobody will see it!

Dearborn? WOW. Super WOW.

Right at Ashura. OK, I just went from a passive to an active supporter.

Hey, a debate in our most heavily Muslim city. I guess they’ll have a lot of questions about the rights of Palestinians, our policy in Iraq, our intentions towards Iran, etc. Liberal questioners will ask them the most entrapping and potentially damaging questions possible.

[Saundra Duffy]

Mincemeat.

[xzins]

QA sessions.

They are not debates.

[Kimberly GG]

WOW....who’d have thought that Fred would waste his time participating in such a “worthless” “dog and pony” show with the “also-rans” and “wannabes” when these debates are nothing but “40 second sound bites” that mean “zilch”.

[BubbaBasher]

Like shootin' fish in a barrel.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Can’t be true. The other candidate bots all say Fred avoids debates.

[no dems]

In Dearborn, MI, “Little Arabia of America” where they celebrated in the streets on 9/11/01.

Great choice guys.

Has anyone heard anything about last night’s “VALUES DEBATE”? I’ve seen or heard nothing. Only about 5 of the candidates accepted the invite to participate; Alan Keyes was supposed to be one.

CAN SOMEBODY GIVE US AN UPDATE?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Mr. Reguate Poltical Speech better have some good things to say. The more I hear him explain CFR the less I feel like voting for him.

[asparagus]

Eveyone else should decline and force Fred to spend an hour taking questions.

Thompson has accepted three debates for October.
They are as follows:

• Oct. 9th .. Dearborn, Mich., CNBC/MSNBC/Wall Street Journal
• Oct. 14th .. Manchester, N.H., (WMUR-ABC)
• Oct. 21st .. Orlando, Fla. (Fox News)

Ten on stage or more if they don't use some type polling criteria for participation..... Won't be much more than a strut affair if they are all allowed.
