For the past six days, the New Hampshire State Republican Committee, University of New Hampshire officials and FOX News staffers have been prepping for the First in the Fall Republican Presidential Debate. Held in the university's hockey arena, the Whittemore Center, 3,622 tickets have been distributed, not counting campaign and debate staff, security and press. Of those tickets, about 1,000 have been put aside for university students. State party Executive Director Steve DeMaura said the debate might be the largest event of this New Hampshire primary season.
During a walk through on Tuesday, less than 24 hours before FOX News begins airing live from New Hampshire, the staging and lighting has been set, the filing room wired, and the tickets and press passes printed. To accommodate the power demands of such an enormous event, three generators had to be brought to the university arena. They were loudly humming Tuesday afternoon as the FOX technicians tested the sound equipment with a group of student volunteers standing in for the candidates. The lights were on, including the floor-to-ceiling curtain backdrop, beaded with thousands of tiny lights, which, at a distance, come together to make the image of an American flag.
Scheduled to kick off with the first question on Wednesday at 9 p.m., the event will be aired live on air on FOX News, FOX Radio and four New Hampshire radio stations; WGIR, WGIP, WGIN, and WTSL. FOX News will begin airing live from the arena at 6 p.m. Wednesday and the network plans to air a Hannity & Colmes post-debate show live from the Spin Room. After going through individual walk-throughs on Wednesday afternoon, the candidates will be asked to arrive by 7:30 p.m. Once in the building, each will be allowed up to 10 staffers in their individual dressing rooms, equipped with two phone lines and a catered dinner. Each candidate gets 10 "preferred seating" tickets on the floor of the Whittemore Center. A number of floor seats will also be reserved for UNH and state party officials, said DeMaura. The rest of the seats are first come, first serve.
About 250 members of the media have been issued credentials, not counting those working for FOX News affiliates. According to DeMaura, only FOX reporters will be allowed to view the debate from within the arena. The rest will watch from the Spin Room or filing center, both of which are located within the school fitness center.
The debate will last 90 minutes with two commercial breaks, one of which, according to the NHGOP, will feature a Fred Thompson ad. Candidates will have a set time to respond to each question, with the flashing green, yellow and red lights warning them when time is short. Some of the questions will come from FOX News correspondent Carl Cameron, who will be fielding questions from about 15 voters in a local restaurant.
To make sure the debate audience, media and campaign staff have a good time before the debate, the state GOP is throwing a pre-debate reception in Field House, another large athletic building across from the Whittemore Center. From 6-8 p.m., guests will be able to rub elbows with the party officials as well as campaign chairmen, consultants and top supporters.

One of these statements is false.
Let the best man win.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
They should get one .357 revolver amongst them, just to make things interesting.
Oh, and this:
Ah yes, the PeopleMeter. That's the one with the line that goes up or down while people talk. One of us should be on that to see when the thing spikes and when it drops into the toilet.
Stop making my posts better.

It's like the smart people's applause-o-meter!
That's how we should elect public officials if you ask me
From left to right, Tancredo, Paul (big applause), Huckabee, Guiliani (almost as much as Paul), Romney (big too), McCain (what the fuck is wrong with these people), Brownback, Hunter. Tancredo got silenced out, I'd say McCain and Paul got the most applause.
Huckabee goes for a straight-up pandering, because what else can you do with a question like that. Brit Hume fails already. Paul says bring him in, because he's pro-war, I'm anti-war, he'll split the votes of the people I gotta beat. McCain says New Hampshire expects to see you present and Fred blew it. Invokes the name of a former failed Arizonan candidate. The candidate is not Goldwater but Udall. Romney says, hey, why not show up in January or February, jackass?
Who the fuck is this guy?
Hi, Chris Wallace. Romney, you attacked Guiliani. You hypocrite. Illegals mow your front lawn. Why should we believe a word that comes out of your mouth?
Yeah, this debate is death.
" Well, here's how I feel about .... did you know that I'm anti-terrorist? "
Rudy Guiliani is a facist
"Senator McCain--" (applause) Oh dear. The immigration thing's way too complicated and with way too many answers and I can't tell what's a screw-up and what isn't these days. The hell with it.
People != parcels.
Fox News spends all their money on CG. There's nothing left to hire a usability expert for their website.
