I hope I can be here for the debate... do you know if the debate will be replayed another time and on what station?
Thank you much... ought to be interesting to see whether or not the GOP panders to the Iowa caucus goers.
And we have Alan Keyes making his first big appearance.
Here’s the live link from C-SPAN 3:

I like Alan Keyes, and I hope he smites Huckleberry.
What are the odds of a Huckabee vs. Romney Mormon question? :-}
Replay on C-SPAN 2 at 9:30 PM ET.
I’d put it at 90%.
Sweet, I’ll be watching this.
I’m not sure. I’ll be away from a TV and computer while the debate runs live, so I hope to catch it later today. C-SPAN2 shows a 9pm ET rerun, but I don’t get C-SPAN2 anymore :-(
thank you.. I will mark that down..thank you.

All right... see y’all later. Keep the thread hummin’ ;-)
Will do, and thank you for posting the thread.
Too many candidates: You should have to poll 5% somewhere or have raised a million by this point to still be in the game. By my count that leaves 6 candidates.
I thought they dis-invited some of the people that are in the debate.

It’s on in the middle of the afternoon? Is this the housewives debate? (No offense to housewives . . . )
AK is completely unqualified to be CIC, IMHO, and flamed himself beneath credibility with his "massah Bush" comments in 2000
. He should know better than to dilute an already diluted conservative contingent.
Agree with you on too many candidates. Nine is beyond reason for any kind of serious debate forum.
In political terms Alan Keyes is a joke.
Here’s hoping that they give Duncan Hunter more than 1/4 the time they give Rudy or Romney.
This is Hunter’s last chance to break out. He has to do something.
I agree; the vanity candidates need to step aside.
Love Duncan Hunter. He is my choice. He needs to get more air time. I’m tired of the big 3 getting all the time. Huckabee is a smooth talker, not a real conservative. Go Hunter.
Romney is smooth. Huckabee is a little weasel whose only strong point is abortion and who will talk his way into a corner if left to his own defenses, but by golly, those “burn the abortionists and their supporters at the stake” types just don’t care. He’s basically the exact same candidate as Sam Brownback.
Maybe Keyes should ask Hucklebee if he considers Catholics to be Christians.
May be the organizers of the debate, I am not sure.

The only way for Romney to deflate Huckabee: ignore him. Dont go after him at all, stay on the issues and direct criticism to Dems. Surefire way to steal this debate.
Thanks for the thread.
Though I hope that all the candidates would be given equal time, I doubt it. It’ll be the same ol’ RINO debate between Roodie, Slick Willard, Huckabee, and McCain-—with RuPaul as the sideshow freak. Meanwhile, the true Republicans like Duncan Hunter, Duncan Hunter and Tancredo will be shoved to the side. Alan Keyes will be lucky if he gets 2 questions total.
6 in 10 Iowans are still undecided
Iraq won’t be discussed in much details
Let the two minutes of hate begin against Huckabee.
This is the first time since summer the Republicans have come together... in Iowa... who cares? It’s the president, not the governor of Iowa...
...it’s going to be a panderfest.
They put Romney and Huck next to each other. lol
Thank you so much for making all previous debates accessible to us.
Let’s get the questions going!
Who is this woman???? I never saw her before and quite frankly her voice bothers me. lol.
I still have no clue who I am going to vote for, Huckabee seems like a fiscal and military RINO, and the other front runners seem weak and too polished to be real.
“Let the two minutes of hate begin against Huckabee.”
thats what huckabee wants
She asked a stupid question already. Guiliani up for answering. He is answering by pandering!!! Yeah!!!
