Check local listings for times.
Should be good as this is where Rudy is suppose to make his shining come back.
Kucinich dropped out today btw. Don't feel like making a separate post for it.

That's the only way I'll watch it. I don't have a TV.

Thanks for digging up the live stream info Seuss!!!
This will be a very defining debate for both Huck and Rudy. They need to perform so well, that they can over take Mitt and McCain in the Florida primaries, otherwise, they most likely will drop out afterwards, their campaigns are running on monetary fumes right now.
I'm not expecting Paul to get much time or good questions. The debate tonight won't break him though. He's been busy with other states, came in second in the Louisiana Caucus on Tuesday, and has the money for the long haul.
If he gets the chance to pull a jump the shark maneuver, as OTD would say, it could help him.
He's got to nail it on the economy though for tonight to help him.
Hey dip, what does signage look like down in your area? I hear Mitt is taking over Florida with his signs right now. Paul's always had a bunch up since summer around me. The Mitt ones are just starting to pop up here. In Boca, I heard that Mitts people are taking down Paul signs and putting Mitts up in their place. I havn't seen any body elses signs yet. Only one Obama and Hillary bumper sticker.
I don't expect Paul to do much better then 6-8% here, since HQ blew Florida off. It's a winner take all state. Second place gets ZERO delegates here.

I was really, really tempted to cover an Obama bumper sticker with a Paul bumper sticker on a car in the parking lot the other day, but didn't. Karma has a nasty way of getting even.

Welcome. Like Diploid, I don't own a TV, so streaming is the only way I can watch the debates.

I'll bet the carribean loves Obama. They love Black American Icons.
When I lived in the Carribean, and told people I was from Chicago, they would get all excited and ask me if I knew Oprah or Micheal Jordan.
About the debate tonight, I learned that the candidates will have a portion of it to ask the other candidates questions.
That should get spicey!

He pretty much is. You can't drive through an intersection down here without seeing his signs. I can't believe his people are taking down Paul's signs. Not that surprising though.

Mitts people did that in areas of NH and SC too.
Paul supporters, you can play the Debating Game tonight!!
http://www.ronpauldebatinggame.com/
It's a spin on the 70's dating game show. It's the debate where the other candidates help Paul raise money.
Every time they say a certain phrase they are known for milking, you donate a dollar to Pauls campaign.
McCains is " my friends"
The rest are all listed there. No need to check what Rudys money phrase is.

Well that was a snooze.
The highlight for me was this exchange-
In short it went like this
Ron Paul: "Do you know jack shit about economics?"
McCain: "No, but I have lots of friends. Maybe one of them does?"

Yeah. McCain looked like a deer in the headlights. Total RP ownage. I also loved Rudy's shudder at the "wet-foot/dry-foot" question about the Cubans. "OH MY GOD! They asked about it!" ahahah
We need a RP smiley

How bad was the airtime bias among the debaters? I only watched the first four questions before going to bed. Is it just me, or did McCain seem about as boring as a pile of rocks? Without Fred to anchor the slow end of the line, it appers that the task of sucking all life from the room has fallen on McCain (with a loud squishy thud).

I didn't watch it all, but I read that Paul got about 5 minutes airtime.
