Tonight’s GOP debate, which I believe is the 217th since July, begins at 8 pm eastern on CNBC. The focus is on the economy. Live chat below. Steve Green is drunkblogging. Maria Bartiromo is moderating, and the official hashtag is #CNBCDebate.
Will Herman Cain’s rough week and half come up? The two known accusers have turned out to have credibility problems of their own, so the other candidates may decide to leave it entirely up to the moderators to bring it up. Looking at where we are in the cycle, Romney will once again do his best to avoid calamity. It’s now Gingrich’s turn to reach for flavor of the week status, and after his masterful performance at The Woodlands debate on Saturday he’s more than up to that task. Perry gets the chance to debate without high expectations and without being the obvious center of attention; he needs to keep from fading but also needs to maintain relevance throughout.
Whatever happens, I’ll show up at the end with a scorecard here on the Tatler.






Well that spam attack during the discussion was interesting. Funny how the people who feign that their free speech rights are constantly violated would disrupt a discussion like that.
Barack Obama has deputized his goons to interfere with free communications as was evidenced tonight.
This is merely a precursor of what we need to expect going into November 2012. We need to think about that. Alternative means of communication need to be developed. Stat.
We may not be able to rely upon our tradition untraditional communication vehicles.
The blog was a pain in the neck tonight. I was the guest that helped you tag team on 5079 for Herman. That was fun. Thanks.
