Streaming video available here: http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2011/11/cnbc-republican-debate-from-michigan-tonight-at-8pm-et/
Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, will be hosting eight GOP candidates tonight for the CNBC "Your Money, Your Vote" debate focusing on the economy and jobs. Tonight's event is only 90 minutes compared to previous GOP debates, featuring eight candidates, which have been 2 hours in length.

Air Time: Wednesday, November 9 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT on CNBC

Our debaters for the evening are:

Michelle Bachmann, Minnesota congresswoman and crazy person.

Herman Cain, former Godfather's Pizza executive, who's mostly doing this as a job application to Fox News

Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and government shut downer, who's mostly doing this as a book tour.

Jon Huntsman, who mostly seems sad and lonely because no one likes him.

Ron Paul, libertarian wunderkind and 24-karat television gold, and once he's president will value our dollar against it

Rick Perry, Texas governor who, like a hot high school blonde, was only attractive until he opened his mouth.

Mitt Romney, long-time frontrunner despite apparently his entire party actively disliking him.

Rick Santorum, who has somehow not yet been caught picking up gay prostitutes. Too angry even for the tea party.

    I think I'd be less apprehensive walking into the Mos Eisley cantina then I would be walking into a room with those folks hanging out in it.

    Worst case in Mos Eisley is some over zealous religious lunatic slices off your arm with his laser sword because you made moves on his blonde kid, and people ignore it

    The Republicans will scream "LET HIM DIE!" while you bleed to death, they used to just be apathetic but now they're actively malicious. I'm not sure which is worse.

    Hey, laser swords are a sacred part of Tatooineian culture and history, and their possession by private citizens helps check the power of the central government.

    I will be occupying the free speech zone shortly.

    Look for me and my potential sign that says "Where is our American Dream?" (hopefully I get a chance to make it once I'm there). I will look like this:

    If you replace Huntsman in that photo with Cain, you'd basically sum up what his campaign is currently dealing with. Bonus points if you can give him Huntsman's rapeface.

    Bonus points if you dress up like Wolverine and try to fight Ron Paul.

    I changed his picture, how's that one work?

    Funny, but it makes my post look insane. It's also kind of creepy because his face clearly showed that he was planning to do unspeakable things, and now he's ducked out of view.

    I think I understand him wanting us to use gold as currency now

    he can control metal, gold is metal

    it all makes sense now

    It's not actually Magneto controlling those metals. It's the free market forces.

    If the free market happens to decide to rip out all of Wolverine's bones, well, there's always losers in the free market.

    Wolverines bones were government subsidized, an anathema to the invisible hand

    I'm afraid the link at the top didn't seem to work for me with a livestream. This might just be because it's too early for it or maybe it just doesn't like me. Those of you who run into problems with the above stream can go to http://www.dailypaul.com/186305/tomorrow-oakland-university-gop-debate-nov-9-2011 and follow the various links to get a streaming video that works for you.
    Those less fond of Ron Paul should probably avoid reading anything on this site but the main article in order to preserve your sanity.

    Warnings aside, enjoy your debates.

    Can I post a long winded essay about Ron Paul and why he should be president from a libertarian echo chamber/forum I sometimes check into?

    ehh I'll post it in the primary thread.

    Oh, how annoying, the link I had posted had been saying there would be a live stream. Must've changed in the last couple of hours.

    If you wanna post something long-ish you might want to wait until after the debate, cuz once it gets going this is pretty much just a live-blog snarkfest.
