LOL. I hope she stays until the very last minute and is asked to comment on the *sorry* debate!

Fox might have to cancel the debate!

I want more cross party debates among all candidates.

Obviously you can’t do it when there is only one candidate from the opposing party but I’d be happy to see Obama, Kucinich, Clinton etc go up against Bachman, Cain, Palin etc.

It would give us a far better idea of a candidate’s skill and performance under pressure.

I agree, that would be a winner. That won’t happen though. LOL

These so-called debates are worthless. All I want to hear from a candidate is what he/she believes and thinks is important. I want to know who they are not what they think we are.

"To demonstrate how strange things have gotten, Ronald Reagan didn't announce his candidacy until November 13, 1979. We should go back to that. Of course, I believe the NH primaries were two or three months later then than they are now.

Totally agree. One year is enough.

Now they spend 2-3 months 'on the job' and the rest the time campaigning.

Another part of equation is that they can suffer from over-exposure. People grow weary.

If we have a really good candidate come in late - like Nov. - (And I know who I'm hoping for) they would be a welcome new face and gain a lot of attention.

"Media wants their *horse race* to start before the *thorobreds* have moved to the track!"

It almost appears to be a VERY helpful move to help the obamabot marxist dems with their ichin' and rarin' to go "Dig Up The Dirt Ahead Of Time" committees.

NH is expected to go in Feb 2012 so only a month earlier. It went the first Tuesday in March in 1980.

“We’re quickly tiring of Fox News in our household.”

My household has all but eliminated FOX. The writing has been on the wall for some time now.

I’ll watch one show per week and sports.

I don’t think it is - it’s Jack Van Impe’s 1/2 hour Sunday program at 9:00am Eastern.

The rest is just sports, if I have time.

In other words, none of the real candidates are likely to be in the debate?

The Rats and RINOS are the same party unless you have not noticed.
