Summary of what will occur at the debate tonight:
Ron Paul will act like the crazy old man he is, and we’ll have to endure more of it now that there’s only 4 men on stage. Will pick a fight with Santorum and Gingrich who will mop the floor with him one way or another while Romney will ignore him even if he brings up his name.
Santorum - Will be the primary attacker of Mitt Romney. He’s losing votes to Newt and might take him on depending on what kinds of policy-difference questions come up, but for the most part, Santorum will probably be concentrating power on Romney, while also devoting time to putting Paul in a straight-jacket.
Newt - Probably won’t take any bait at attacking Romney, will leave Santorum to do that. Will try to stay light hearted and such when Paul wants to pick a fight. And, of course, somewhere there will be that righteous indignation manufactured moment where he attacks the media and gets the loudest applause of the night. The strongest comment you may hear tonight on Romney is “Massachusetts moderate”.
Romney - Won’t take any bait. Will just defend his record. Newt is hoping Romney gets dragged into another fight with Santorum. Will smile creepily at Newt and Santorum when they are talking.
NEW DRINKING GAME RULES:
DRINK WHENEVER:
1. Newt says the word “fundamental, fundamentally”, bangs the podium with his fist, or gets loud cheers and applause
2. Santorum uses more than 3 I’s in one response or shakes his head in a followup response
3. Romney creepily smiles at the other candidates or fake laughs, mentions his hair
4. Paul says something batsh!t crazy
Please have 9-1-1 on speed dial as you will most likely need it.
I'll settle for a drink each time Romney flashes that creepy smile. That alone will have me passed out by the 11PM news.
3. Romney creepily smiles at the other candidates or fake laughs, mentions his hair
Oh my gosh. I am going to be “piss drunk” by the first 30 minutes. The others may cause me a short or so throughout the night but Romney’s shot is all night long......lol.
