Do we know who is the moderator/questioners?
Bartiromo and Harwood.
You asked: “Do we know who is the moderator/questioners? Will the candidates stay on topic..or comment on the Cain matter?”
HillBuzz claims to have a mole at CNBC. Here are some of the questions that will probably be asked :)

Yes, we have a mole at CNBC, and she managed to sneak a peek at an advance copy of tonights debate questions. Check out the Debate Live Blog thread here: http://hillbuzz.org/2011/11/09/live-blog-transcript-gop-presidential-debate-in-michigan-november-9th-2011-at-oakland-university/
Heres what our mole was able to memorize and send in:
Herman Cain: As you know, Mr. Cain, CNBC is a financial news network, and tonights debate is focused on economic issues. You have decades of experience in the business world creating jobs and turning around failing companies. How did you find time to develop your 9-9-9 Plan in between your horrific and brutal repeated sexual assaults, sexual harassment, rapes, tortures, dismemberments and murders of blonde white women, young boys, and barnyard animals? Do you regret not killing more of your victims? Do you want to kill me now? Is my life in danger? Help! Police!
Jon Huntsman: Mr. Huntsman, the Obama Administration appointed you Ambassador to China, and you speak fluent Mandarin. I, for one, think youre extremely reasonable, intelligent and moderate, for a Republican. What will you do, as President, to continue the Obama Administrations trade policies and ensure that secret U.S. defense technology continues to flow to China so they keep buying our T-Bills?
Rick Perry: Did you get the 5-Hour Energy Drink we sent to your dressing room? What about the Red Bull? Like the rest of the mainstream media, weve given you far more news coverage than all the other candidates in the race, and we declared you the Frontrunner within moments of your announcing your candidacy. Why isnt it working? Why arent you higher in the polls? What else can we do? Its making us look bad that youre behind GINGRICH, for Gods sake! WAKE UP! Were trying to get you nominated!
Herman Cain: Have you sexually harassed any other women in the past few minutes? Would you sexually harass Michelle Bachmann? Or do you only go for blonde white women?
Ron Paul: Youre more of an expert in economics, monetary policy, and the Federal Reserve than anyone onstage. So were going to ask you about foreign policy. Youre one of only two veterans onstage tonight. You want the U.S. to stop policing the world and involving U.S. troops in foreign civil wars. In short, you want to bring home the troops. You get more campaign contributions from members of the military than all other candidates combined, including our gifted and articulate president, Mr. Barack Obama, who I met at the Correspondents Dinner last year, and frankly, he couldnt have been nicer. He even signed an autograph for me. Apparently, the top three donors to your campaign are members of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and U.S. Navy. Do you think this is because active duty military are lazy, or is it because they are cowards?
Herman Cain: Were getting reports that a sixth anonymous woman who lives in David Axelrods apartment building and works for the Obama Administration has made vague and unsubstantiated claims about something you may have done or said that may have made her feel uncomfortable between 13 and 27 years ago. What are the details of this allegation? Dont you agree, its the seriousness of the charge that is important?
Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum: Lets be honest. This debate is about the economy, but frankly, we know all you GOP kooks agree that taxes are too high, business is over-regulated, and the government is broke. So were going to talk about social issues, because we know thats the only thing that can alienate the libertarians. Since this is the only time were going to call on either of you, please take a minute to remind America how you would each imprison pregnant women to keep them from having abortions, and detail your plans to round up and kill all the gays.
Newt Gingrich: Despite our best efforts, you appear to be rising in the polls at the expense of one of our hand-picked candidates, Rick Perry. So wed like to take a moment to remind the voters that youre a cruel, heartless bastard who gave his wife cancer, put her in the hospital, had an affair with all of the nurses on duty in her hospital bed in front of her, bribed the surgeon to sew divorce papers into her body, then killed her and brought her back to life so you could kill her again, in front of your children. And it looks like we dont have time for a response, so lets move on to the only candidate in the field who looks Presidential, Mitt Romney, the celebrated and wise former governor of that thriving beacon of economic success, Massachusetts.
Mitt Romney: First, Mr. Romney, Id like to apologize for interrupting your campaign speech with short outbursts from these other so-called candidates. It wont happen again. And thank you for sending over that autographed copy of your book with that special bookmark. Please take as much time as you need in the next hour to personally attack any other Republican candidate. Except Ron Paul, of course, because then the news stories would have to include the words Ron Paul, and our destruction of his campaign depends upon us keeping his plans to save America a secret.
Heres a very serious question for you, Mr. Romney. When the Herman Cain campaign blamed the campaign of your rival Rick Perry to giving us the story of his decades of horrific rapes and serial murders of defenseless blonde white women, were you satisfied with how quickly we got the word out? Is there anything else we can do to keep this story alive?
Weve suppressed coverage of New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, just as you asked.
So, did you get the fruit basket we left in your dressing room? Is the lighting good for you? Would you like us to move the other candidates further off to the side?
NO idea. I hope Larry Kudlow is one!
