I like Herman Cain, but a 9-9-9 drinking game could be interesting.

So far the CNN debates have been substantially better than the other debates, in my opinion. Every time I remember that CNBC abomination, I prefer a CNN debate. At least their moderators try to appear neutral.

Why the GOP candidates are participating in these "debates" is beyond me.

I they stick to the advertised topic of national security, I strongly suspect the most embarrassing comments of the night will come from someone other than Perry...

Would you turn down free publicity on a national stage? The anchors might not be conservative, but all the candidates are unified against them, so they get to look good while going after the media. All for free.

I don't think we've been watching the same debates.

No.  At this point it's just a forum  to set them up to make "mistakes" so the frantic liberal media can go crazy and flail around like a crowd at a black comedy club, tomorrow morning.

The lefty moderators on these debates throw out more "gotcha" questions than they do questions of substance. And the mods are attacking to influence more of the Independents than the Party voters. Even though it's for a Primary election.

I don't disagree, but I think it's safe to say that the debates have had an influence on the primaries this time around.

100% agree. The attacks have allowed us to see how articulate and knowledgeable some candidates are, and how shrill and confused others appear. Also, how well some react to hostile interrogators.
