The last ABC debate was the best debate out of all of them so far. Hopefully, this one will be just as good.


Who do you think is going to make a stand? Who you do you think is going to attack who? Is Santorum going to have to answer questions on possible racism? Is Paul going to have to answer questions on possible racism? Is Newt going to go negative? Is Romney going to only have to defend himself and not attack anyone? Is Perry going to be able to make his point?



I think Paul is going to have a lot of attacks on him, since it seems like this is a race for SECOND PLACE. So Huntsman, Santorum, Newt, will all be after him. I think Perry will leave him alone since he doesn't care about NH.



I don't see Newt making any attacks on Santorum, even though he probably should if he wants to stay in the race. But I guess, months ago, people predicted he was only running to BETTER HIS CAREER , and not really be president. I think they were right.



What do you think?

What are they debating about? None of them are real Christians... they should all stay away from governing and controlling anything.

One thing for sure is that Santorum won't be put at the end of the podiums.

I sort of disagree. In passing Paul seems like a nutjob, but his ideas make a lot more sense once you hear the whole story. I think the other candidates know that, and might go easy on him rather than risk giving him the opportunity to explain himself. We'll see.

Lead by example, or rule by force.

The choice is yours.

Romney will soft peddle and let the others look like the fools. He will win in NH and probably SC, which will probably lock up the nomination. As Debbie Wasserman Schultz says, we will have "Romney, the job Cremator" to run against.

I think Huntsman will benefit the most, and Paul will also come out well.
Both are self-effacing guys who don't give generalities as answers, and tend to stay polite rather than get into chest-thumping and bragging.
Paul has been getting more time and attention, and Huntsman is the last of the Not-Romneys, so I think he may get more spotlight time than Paul, only because he has had less so far.

I also think they are the two smartest guys who will be on the stage.
