No offense to those who have been out officially running for president on the Republican side, but tonight’s debate from South Carolina is like the junior varsity game before the title contest. Nonetheless, I’ll be watching anxiously to see if anybody other than Ron Paul has any principles (and if tommy thompson can hold his water).
I also think that John McCain’s starting to get more comfortable with his handlers, and I suspect that he and Jim Gilmore will take honors tonight.

Why Gilmore? Nobody really knows him and I think he’ll start taking the Bill Richardson tact of using his resume as the basis for why he should get the nomination.

Just a reminder, we’ll be chat rooming it over at Right Angle Blog:

Tonight is the 2nd GOP primary debate with all the announced Republican candidates… except for George Bailey, John Cox, and Ohio’s own Millie Howard (who?).

This time, the debate will be hosted by Fox News, which means there will be respectable ratings for this broadcast. (Last time, more people watched Bill O’Reilly talk about the debate than actually watched the MSNBC broadcast!) And I’m so thankful that Brit Hume, and not former Tip O’Neill staffer Chris Matthews, is the moderator. Hume has class, and he won’t ask stupid questions, such as “What would you think about Bill and Hillary being in the White House?” and “What do you dislike most about America?” (It is a good thing Matthews didn’t ask Fred Thompson that latter question. Reportedly, Fred would have ripped off Matthew’s head and shoved it up his ass.)

The debate starts at 9pm EST on Fox News and online at FoxNews.com. I’ll active RAB’s chatroom at 8:30 pm. You don’t need to have an RAB account to join the chat, and anyone… even polite lib’hurls, overpaid turnpike bureaucrats, and Frankie Coleman on her 21 hour lunch break… are allowed to join in the discussion. We’ll see you then!

Hope to see you there.
