What to Watch For in Tonight's Republican Debate in South Carolina
By Molly Ball
The Republican presidential candidates meet Saturday evening for a foreign policy-focused debate hosted by CBS and National Journal

1. Perry, Perry, and...uh...what was that third one? Oh, right, Perry. Rick Perry's mammoth mix-up in Wednesday night's debate in Michigan raises the stakes for the Texas governor in tonight's face-off. Will he choose the risk-averse path of staying quiet and on the sidelines as much as possible? Or will he step up to try to correct the impression that he doesn't have it together? Just kidding! Perry doesn't really have a choice at all. If he could simply flip a switch and suddenly become a commanding debater, he surely would have done that by now. It seems abundantly clear that turning in a strong performance is not an option available to him. Ironically, he was on course to turn in his strongest performance yet on Wednesday when he face-planted. Barring a brain transplant, he'd probably better play it safe from here on out.
2. Real divisions on foreign policy. This debate is the first of two on the schedule that aim to shine a light on the candidates' foreign policy views, and it could indeed be illuminating. While the two economically focused debates served to illustrate the broad economic consensus among the candidates, there's a notable lack of consensus on foreign policy in the GOP field -- and the Republican Party as a whole -- these days. The candidates show varying degrees of military interventionism: Jon Huntsman and Ron Paul want to get the U.S. out of Afghanistan quickly; Michele Bachmann was a forceful opponent of U.S. intervention in Libya, a prospect Newt Gingrich was in favor of before he was against it. Then there's the issue of China, which Mitt Romney has made a central plank of his economic plan, while Huntsman, the former Chinese ambassador, has accused him of wanting to start a trade war.
3. Do they know what they're talking about? As a whole, the field is notably short on international expertise, with the exception of ex-diplomat Huntsman. That's led to some memorable blunders, such as an extremely garbled answer from Perry to a question on Pakistan, Bachmann seeming not to know what continent Libya is on and Herman Cain apparently not realizing China has nuclear weapons. It's especially unfortunate for Perry that the debate where he'll be called upon to prove he can remember a three-item list is on a topic he's so poorly versed in. But foreign-policy blunders have afflicted nearly all of the candidates.
4. How do you solve a problem like Newt? The supposedly impending Newt Gingrich surge has been hyped by his campaign for so long that it's unnerving to have to acknowledge that it actually does seem to happening, according to recent polls, whose respondents either have genuinely embraced the next-in-line Romney alternative, like a serial monogamist forgetting the last three breakups -- or else they are drunk with power and just toying with us. In any case, now that the Gingrich surge is officially a thing, expect a renewed focus on the former speaker. One hopes the moderators have taken a tip from the feisty Maria Bartiromo and won't take Gingrich's tiresome, predictable media-tweaking shtick lying down.
5. Oh, right, Herman Cain. After weeks of intense focus on the former Godfather's Pizza CEO, he was oddly not central to Wednesday's debate, especially after Perry grabbed the big headline for all the wrong reasons. There are, however, signs that supporters are starting to quietly peel away from the onetime front-runner. How his rivals approach him should be telling -- if they basically ignore him, it's probably because they sense the air is going out of the Cain balloon.

I say Cain crushes Dos Santos. 2nd round knock out...

ron paul is the only one not a tool

the chick is probably the only one with no criminal past and a credit score over 600.

Is this the weakest field an incumbent President has faced? I'm sure it isn't, but wow. Obama needs this.

All they have to do is challenge Obama on his record of failed policies and exorbitant spending and it's over. You don't even have to be politician to do it!

Corrected: Stifled and poorly-pressed policies, ineffective leadership and insufficient spending. Who do you support at this point, Coach. Give me a name. ;D

In this order
Cain, Newt and Perry. But if Newt ever debates Obama it WILL be lights out for Obama.

Not surprising that you won't be watching the Kings Of Comedy tonight...I certainly won't. Yet you plan on voting for one of those morons. lol
PATHETIC
I have little interest in college football. I will be going out to dinner with the wife and friends, coming home to watch the UFC and Manny vs. Marquez, and then I will ball my wife, in that order. ;D

I have a life and status you could only dream of. Go back to school, actually get a degree, and maybe you'll no longer have to count reps for a living, you sad little border-hopping Mexican.

Cain is a motivational speaker of zero political substance.
Newt is a serial philanderer who was forced to resign from being Speaker of the House and paid a fine. He also has foot-in-mouth disease.
Perry is a complete moron. A dumber version of George W. Bush, and that's no easy feat.
Next!

Cain being your first choice!? Oh dear, he won't even get the nomination. And Newt's personal life surely must be an affront to you as an avowed Christian, isn't it? And Perry's mouth got him into the running and then out, again. Fun stuff, politics. ;D
-
Uh oh- you all better watch it
Benny B is gonna hit "Control + V" like he never has before if you keep it up

Our shit head president did a lot worse than ANYONE thats running against him and it's well documented yet the state ran media gives him pass. As for Perry's gaf....gimme a fucking break, I could pull up footage of Obama, Kerry and more doing a lot worse than that. Like it doesn't happen to everyone.......pleaaaaze ::)

Well, keep us diverted/entertained, then, bro. ;D

*yawn*
You and your fellow repubes said the same thing with McCain. Obama was the clear winner in all three debates in '08.
-
Ron Paul is the only candidate on that stage that isn't a complete tool to main street and the war machine.
Of course, you've been brainwashed by "main street and the war machine and their arm of the media" to believe that unless we keep feeding pakistan 5 billion a year and supporting 1000 military bases worldwide, the sky will fall.
So you will choose the flavor of corporate/war machine Tool that you'd most like to have a beer with, and Ron Paul will lose. Enjoy.

He bullshitted everyone back then and bought an election (the same way he'll do it this time) the difference is they have more than three years of ammunition and failed policies. back then it was his policies wouldn't work (and they didn't) and he has no experience (which has proven to be true).

No, not a complete tool but close.

94% of the time, the candidate with more MONEY will win the election.
Some estimates of 600 mil to 1 bil for 0Bama to spend this time. I hope the GOP candidate can raise that kinda loot. Ron Paul can.

Benny is going to popeyes and getting some 40 oz tonight for the porch.
