I thought this was a pretty good article.


Republican Debate: 25 Things To Look For Tonight

1. Will the audience clap for electrifying Mexicans? – Jon Nicosia

2. Will there be a 7-way race to devise the deadliest Dr. Evil/Wile E. Coyote contraption to stick on a border fence? – Tommy Christopher

3. I’m looking to see if ‘Electrified Fence’ is said enough times tonight to justify a drinking game - JN

4.Take seven shots and move to Canada if anyone makes an electric fence ‘refried beans’ joke tonight (I’m allowed to make that joke, yes?) – Alex Alvarez

5. I expect to see many more 9-9-9 jokes, though most will fall so flat, that the net result will be Herman Cain taking a larger lead in the polls. – Colby Hall

6. I’ll be watching for an incisive deconstruction of what differentiates these contenders as well as a look into who they are as people and what their lives were like before this all began. Also, the kind of pithy one liners that only Simon Cowell can deliver.
…Wait, what are we watching tonight? – Jon Bershad

7. Which candidate will be the first to utter the word “care” without the prefixes “Obama” or “Romney?” – TC

8. Which inevitable gotcha question from Anderson Cooper will launch Newt Gingrich into a tirade where he forgets who on stage is actually running for president? – FM

9. Recognizing that the only time he seems to get media attention is after he aggressively questions the debate moderator, expect Newt Gingrich to get in the face of Anderson Cooper, perhaps even making his point with a poke to to his sternum with his forefinger. – CH

10. How many times will Newt Gingrich… Nope, I got nothing. – AA

11. Michele Bachmann‘s French-tip nails: How distractingly long will they be? – Nando Di Fino

12. Will Rick Perry be heavily caffeinated? Will we see a visible, 32 ounce Monster Energy Drink by his side? I’m anticipating his handlers will be shooting Red Bull into his veins. – James Crugnale

13. If someone asks another hypothetical about a comatose patient, which candidate will say, “That’s no way to talk about Gov. Perry?” – TC

14. Will Rick Perry begin speaking in Esperanto at random intervals throughout the debate? Maybe definitely. – AA

15. That Sue Sylvester will do something cur-razy! Wait, that show’s not on this week. Seriously, guys, what are we watching? – JB

16. Razing Cain: Now that he’s had some time as frontrunner, how many more hits will Herman Cain take tonight? – TC

17. What classic rock tune will Herman Cain rewrite as an ode to pizza? My money is on “Hotel California.” – FM

18. How many of my Herman Cain puns will Jon Huntsman rip off? – TC

19. When will Tommy, or anyone else, notice that Huntsman’s not there? – FM

20. A shirtless Haley Barbour will storm the debate stage with “Soy Bomb” emblazoned across his ample chest. - CH

21. Breaking Bad‘s over. Community and Parks are on Thursday. I genuinely have no idea. - JB

22. Michele Bachmann will on more than one occasion attempt to conflate President Obama‘s alleged belief in socialism with the Occupy Wall Street protesters. – CH

23. Can Mitt Romney muster more authenticity than Ron Paul’s eyebrow? – TC

24. Mitt Romney will again be razor sharp in his responses, more likable than he’s been in any previous debate and even get a surprising number of laughs with some out-of-character witty asides. This will result in more GOP hand-wringing about who else should get into the race. – CH

25. Oooooooooooh. A GOP debate. They’re still doing those? – JB

Will Ron Paul shine tonight>?

Will Herman Cain crash from his high?

It will be interesting to say the least.

Who will win we will see.

Huntsman has boycotted this debate

Why Jon Huntsman will boycott the GOP debate tonight
Here’s why. With Iowa’s caucuses now officially scheduled (as expected) for January 3, New Hampshire would have to hold its primary just one week later on January 10, only to be abruptly followed just four days after that by Nevada. New Hampshirites apparently feel that this might rob the Granite State of some of its stand-alone importance (and they say it would violate a state law that requires at least seven days between its primary and “any similar election” - though they could technically get around that by saying caucuses aren’t the same as primaries). As a result, the state is threatening to upend the whole process and move its primary to December.


He is upset over the primaries being pushed up is the basic reason.

I think he was pretty good but this is a BAD move...

He is putting all his eggs into this boycott. Will it work?
I do not think so.
