Hosted by the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, the theme of tonight's Republican presidential debate is foreign policy and national security.

The debate is being held at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.

CNN is carrying the debate live at 8 p.m. EST.

Participating candidates are: businessman Herman Cain, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Reps. Ron Paul (TX) and Michele Bachmann (MN), former Gov. Jon Huntsman, and former Sen. Rick Santorum.

I actually dislike when Newt doesn't answer the question - he manuevers to his campaign talking points where he's got his most comfortable talking points down pat.

I was just discussing that “look” w/ PaDad. To me it’s Myth thinking “isn’t that special”

All are doing well, Bachmann was great on Afghanistan.

[lonestar]

I don't recall Newt ever being strong on domestic oil production.

I'm not surprised that he wrote a book about it...he's written a book on most things. ;)

[bigbob]

Oh, give me a break! If CNN had any idea they could make Mr. Cain look bad, he would be getting every single question!

[Jane Long]

Nuet just stole Herman Cain’s Chilean and Galveston examples. Boooo Nuet!!!!!

[La Enchiladita]

Michelle borrowed eyelashes from Jan Crouch.

Hehe.

[Pravious]

“Newt might have a PhD but he needs a personality. “

Heh? You might not LIKE his personality, but I can’t see how you can say he doesn’t HAVE one. Compare him to those talking suits Huntsman and Santorum (and Romney, for that matter).

[luvie]

Newt just hijacked Cain’s Chile/Galveston income tax mantra.

Why is Cain being shut out? Makes ya wonder.....

[Gator113]

He is amazing.

[mylife]

Herman will be next.

[onyx]

Newt again!

Bring it on!

He has the correct numbers too.
They will fact check him too, (of course).

PJToo: Ooops, MB mentioned Super Committee!

Hi, PA Mom.

Did your tv feed cut out for a long flood warning?

[KarenMarie]

Santorum would be my first choice. I wish he would have gotten more traction.

[ken21]

newt’s for whatever’s best at the moment.

[jessduntno]

MB is kicking buttocks.

[2111USMC]

I would love to see Six Sigma work in the Gov.

It has already worked quite well in areas of the DOD.

Perhaps you've already heard of Strong America Now. They've been quite active here in Iowa:

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I agree, Cain has been shut out. Why all the Huntsman questions?

[khnyny]

Bachman answering on the Super Comm. and the budget deficit... Excellent answer. She knows her facts - facts are our friends...

You know you love my boy, Ron Paul. Don’t try and deny it. :-) /sarcasm.
