Five things to watch in the Iowa GOP debate

Thursday night's debate on the campus of Iowa State University will be shown on Fox News Channel and will pit eight contenders for the Republican presidential nomination against each other. Expect plenty of Obama-bashing, but the question, as always with events like these, is whether the candidates will violate Ronald Reagan's commandment and take each other on. Here are some things to keep an eye on.

Ron Paul brought his cheering section with him.  He was doing good until after the bell when he borrowed a play from Barney Frank's tired old book.

Herman Cain is up and some guy named Huntsman.

Gingrich knows his numbers but he likes the taste of his feet too much to suit me. I don't trust him to be a dependable leader.

Next, please.

Did Pawlenty repeat what Cain just said?  Come on, man.

I wish I could see my TV from here.  I wonder what Michelle Bachmann is wearing.  :naughty:

Oooh, that had to sting.  +1 to Michelle. :II:

Pawlenty follows with a jab and Bachmann counters. :-)

OH!  OUCH!  And Wallace delivers a knee to Newt's groin.  That had to hurt!

I wish I could have transcribed that.  It will show up tomorrow.

Quite a few polished non-answer on immigration.  Ron Paul just sounds like a freakin' fruit loop.

If nothing else, at least he's consistent.

Pawlenty and Bachmann attacking each other is going to be the story of the night, though.

True.  I kinda wish they'd move on.  There's plenty of time for that.

Ron Paul has the foreign and military affairs expertise of the gum on the bottom of my shoe.

No problem with the Iranians building a nuke.

This debate is over... it's Paul-bashin' time, I guess.

I got lost about 15 minutes ago.

The problem with having this many people in the pool is that they all sound the same after a while, especially when they only have 60 seconds to "discuss" a topic.
