The next debate and last one before the Iowa caucus is set to take place this Thursday night, December 15th at 8pm CST in Sioux City at the Sioux City Convention Center. It will be hosted by Fox News and the Iowa Republican Party. This will be the last major televised debate in Iowa as Donald Trump has finally decided to cancel his debate that was well on its way to being doomed anyway.
The main storyline for tonight:
Talking Points Memo writes:
The stage is set: there’s an armada of Romney endorsements coming in. The National Review and the Washington Examiner are united against Gingrich. Along with George Will, and David Brooks, and Charles Krauthammer. David Frum, Peggy Noonan, Karl Rove. Gingrich’s poll numbers are plateauing.
But in some sense, all this is almost beside the point. Here’s what I want to know — who’s winning the Murdoch primary? What’s happening on Fox News? If they’re with Gingrich then he can hold up against the rest of the “establishment” (failing an epic gaffe), and if they abandon him then so too will the primary voters. What’s the verdict?
The Debaters for Tonight:

Seemed really apparent to me in the 5 minutes I could stomach of the last debate.
When he starts flubbing quotes, I'll be right there with you. He's already got "be an idiot" down to a T.
ok, so 2.5 hours. Alright, I have time to do some chores and things before settling in to enjoy this.
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
Chores meaning being really drunk right?
Hmmm...I guess you could take a shot whenever someone mentions Reagan.
I'd like to live to see tomorrow.
So what happens if the establishment tanks Gingrich? Where does that support go?
ABRABRABRABRABR
Take a shot anytime someone tells an outright lie, no then you'd be dead before the first question was done.
Take a shot for every mention of a war with iran?
To gingrich, you have to remember what happened with Christine O'donnel and Sharon Angle.
This is hard!
Risky Henroid, you can stretch most of their questions to a not so subtle allusion to an obama policy or position. Maybe take a shot anytime Newt says something that makes you feel creeped out?
They're not afraid to be blunt, so the subtle stuff can be ignored and still make it a fun game.
And on the Newt suggestion, see my earlier post: I'd like to wake up tomorrow morning.
That poor fucker. How about a shot every time Bachmann interjects over someone else's time?
That might not actually be too bad.
Sadly, no. I'm on the other side of the world, so it's still daylight for me. Laundry, dishes, house cleaning, that kind of thing.

Well I'm glad our politics are amusing to those across seas. Know our misery!
Gotta get out before the gay agenda destroys what it really means to be married.
Oh wait, it doesn't count if I say it.
Oh well.
*Drinks*
Old PA forum lookalike style for the new forums.
Still a citizen.
And I can vote, I'm from Delaware, solid Blue. I've even already sent in my absentee ballot requests.
So I have a pretty vested interest in how crazy the politics are. Affects family and things, you know.

Oddly, yes. He's not running in Iowa though.
let him die, booing a vet, cheering executions

More of the let him die, or cheering for someone being executed, or booing someone because they are gay. You know the classy things pubs do at their debates.
