It's been on 20 minutes. Newt is/was up first.

Fox News “Huckabee Forum 3: Jobs” Tonight at 8p ET (LIVE THREAD)

Didn’t see this on the sidebar, but it does say live thread and was posted earlier. It seems to be where everybody has gathered.

Thanks newzjunkey:) I am watching "The MAGNIFICENT Speaker," now. What an amazing man with a dynamite record. He would become the greatest president since Reagan. GO NEWT! WOOT! WOOT!

I doubt I will watch Mitt or RS as I know their routine

The nervous small businessman asked a question about sugar, high food prices and the food subsidies. Newt would sign a repeal.

Earlier Fox's business guy battled Newt over how he arrived at $2.50 as a target gas price. Newt said he asked oil industry experts what target price they need to ensure further investment. They said between $2 and $2.50 so he went for the higher number. When the Fox guy pushed again, Newt said he'd be glad to give him the experts' contact information to talk to.

Newt's time seems up answering some questions from FOX's people.

Now there's three new people in the chairs. These are Ohioans. The college senior is asking about jobs and gov't: Newt talking about EPA, corporate tax rates, etc. and how that will get jobs going.

Woman now asking about bailouts, what would he do if it happened again. Said it was a bad idea. Said Bush and Obama tried to trickle down money through the banks to homeowners and it never got there. Newt said we could've given the money to individuals.

Custom knife business owner takes issue with Newt's plan for unemployment because he's described it as giving people to do nothing. Newt explained he wants, from day one to connect people with both training and a business in need of employees instead of handing out money particularly given the number of people taking the full 99 weeks.

Last question was from the college senior about making payroll and a subtle dig at Newt's means.

The forum is low key, sometimes the questions aren't clear. I'm not sure if everyone planned their questions.

Romney is up next.
