Who is going to win the GOP debate tonight?

I suspect Cain is going to catch hell over his electric fence comments.

I'm going to go with Cain.

It's a CNN debate. If I had to guess ... they are going to do all they can to make it look like a circus. Or at least make them all look ineffective while hoping to turn them against one another so as to save their Master in the White House from any "undue stress". With the exception perhaps of Romney. He is their new "McCain".

Since it is CNN, I think they'll target Herman Cain the most, but agree that Romney will likely get a pass from the moderators .

Romney and Perry sure duked it out.

Not very professional of either of them IMO.

All the news this morning is 'No clear winner,' but since Cain was the obvious target who went largely unmolested while the press found the Santorum/Perry/Romney catfight too shiny to resist, I would have to say Cain benefitted the most from it.

I really like Cain, but he was mostly ignored by Andersass Cooper.
