8 PM ET on CNN of course.



No more awkward smiling for Mitt.

Boring7

Imma try to actually listen to this. We'll see how far I get.

Prediction: Ron Paul will get about 3 chances to really talk, at least one of them he will say something based in reality and be ignored/booed for it.

enc0re

I bet Paul will manage to bring in SOPA and PIPA. That'll be red meat for the Internet.

ahava

I think he'd be foolish to do it though, Encore.

He probably will, but that's not going to get him anything in south carolina.

Elki

I'm going to miss the first hour. Probably for the best.

Henroid

I think my satellite radio finally has coverage of a debate.

enc0re

Welcome to the South! Places people.

but he was never going to win south carolina. if he gets a bit more traction on the internet, it might help him down the line (more donations, volunteers, etc.)

Good to see CNN's keeping it unbiased and classy.
"Mitt Romney - The Frontrunner"
Real professional there guys.

Henroid

"WELCOME TO CHARLESTON, AND THE FIGHT FOR THE SOUTH."

... uh, wow.

ahava

what the hell was that opening video.

seriously, what the hell cnn

enc0re

That's some big stars on that stage. I mean that literally.

KetBra

Heeeeeere they come

Henroid

I'm only getting audio (thankfully) but there's like a heavy metal guitar riff playing while they introduce these guys. Goddamn.

ahava

ohman, really tepid response to Romney.

Newt got the biggest applause.

galenblade

I love that CNN debate intros are like football game intros.

ahava

ok i'm sorry but with the guitar, and the pause, and the intros.

It sounded like we were at the Miss America Pageant.

.....

I have no words.

No, it sounded like a fuckin' professional wrestling event or something. It was strange.

dbrock270

Why don't they have someone like Anderson Cooper or Wolf Blitzer to do this?

ahava

none of the 4 of them knew where their hearts were.

Santorum was closest to actually having his hand on his heart. Romney and Gingrich were hovering more around that inner coat pocket where men have their wallets.

Henroid

Santorum knows he's hanging by the skin of his teeth.

enc0re

Santorum. Plugging Iowa off the bat.

ahava

I"m mitt Romney. I have lots of kids. And grandkids. But apparently contraception works fine.

Henroid

Uh oh, is Paul- oh okay he didn't ramble.

dbrock270

GO NEWT!

Quid

Oh hey I didn't know Perry dropped out.

ahava

Who is that hosting? Richard Gere?

KetBra

And off to the ex-wife right off the bat.

dbrock270

Oh, I feel bad for that moderator.

Henroid

What the fuck, this an Arseneo crowd?

Newt Gingrich, "AH'M MAD!"

Boring7

And his response, "MEDIA VULTURES RAAARGH!"

enc0re

Newt goes for the media bash to deflect the ex wife.

Quid

Newt seems popular.

ahava

well.. for most of the christians in the room. the fact that you have an ex-wife is a deal.

Henroid

I just realized, Newt is playing the "Media is attacking me!" card. Smart, politically for his crowd.

Quid

Ahahahaha this is fantastic I can't believe I haven't been watching these.

KetBra

Okay that was a pretty good response.

Quid

I will give him props for actually including Obama.

ahava

good move, moderator. keep it going keep it going, your staff completely screwed you with that as the first question.

galenblade

Mmm. I love the smell of sanctimony in the morning.

TubularLuggage

Paul seems a lot less ramble-y tonight.
