I've created this thread before, but this really is THE most critical debate of all so far.

A good showing tonight and that candidate could be the one to win it in Iowa!

This debate is interesting, also because the CD favorite ron paul is finally in the race with a chance to win in Iowa. Then you have the hot favorite Gingrich but I actually think tonight will be the night that sees him fall from the top tier. Romney has a lot at stake tonight, and personally I expect him to come through the winner!!

Agreed, I think Paul will do a stellar job, as always. I'm really hoping he wins the GOP nomination!

Does anyone know if we can watch the debate live on foxnews.com?

I really don't understand what's with Gingrich. Why is he hot is beyond me?

I know he is just another favor of the week, just like those before him.

But what exactly is his message?

He will win and get nominated.

The Republicans want to get rid of Obama so they can become the majority again. They are afraid of Paul because he might run as a 3rd party. There is a reason why Paul is being asked this question every times he was interviewed.

The political machine want to discredit his Republican run.

He is "hot" due to his past debate performances as well as his talks before live audiences in the early states. It is really not hard to see why IMO if you've been engaged in the process.

His message is pretty clear if you hear him talk about his 21st Century Contract with America.

All that said, I'm thinking his rise is over.

i am not a fan of ron paul, but i would like to see what he says tonight.
i do not know if he will change my mind on him, but i'm taking him seriously for the first time after seeing his drastic rise in the polls.

Paul...

I have a feeling they are going to try and ignore him though.
