How will they portray Dr. Paul tonight?

they'll ask Dr. Paul the questions they were going to ask Fred Thompson. I mean, why waste good material like:

Senator, do you think we need more naps in the workplace?

Did you and Alec Baldwin hang out while shooting Hunt for Red October?

Do you agree with Gov Huckabee's program to issue tax rebates to illegal aliens so they can attend public universities?

By a show of hands, who here is not a liberal tax-and-spender?

I'm thinking we'll see tons and tons of re-plays from everybody but Ron Paul. This is another way of manipulating with the press. They'll show clips of how everyone (but Paul) take a stand on this, or that......but this isn't carried on National TV, so the American audience won't see anything but the re-plays. Just what the mainstream press wants! They will show what they want, over, and over. And I don't figure that there will be much footage of Ron Paul. This is a brutal game. I've never seen such an effort against someone, not even Ross Perot.......

For Ron to lay the smack-down on the other candidates NON economic agendas. Mccain has ZERO answer for the economic policies which leaves
"Im rich too" Mitt Romney.

Everything that has happened in the last couple of weeks favors Ron's issues. He just got Donald Luskin signed on as Economic Advisor
and has detailed his plan on his website. Its like Ron was handed a long in the works sword of economic truth to just bash the hell out of the next debate. I like that people are watching now, because of the economy.

Sadly, many people in America ignore the war issue because of the "it doesn't affect me so why should I care" attitude. However, they cannot and will not ignore the economy because it does effect them, AND THEY THINK IT DOES. This combo combined with the Fed slashing rates again (just what RP said NOT TO DO) will give him an opening that not only will serve him now, but in the future as well.

I think he will do well in the debates tonight, look for him to come out swinging.

after MSNBC aired the excellent piece/interview on RP the other day after the Judy shout down in Florida. Maybe this will be the turning point where he is treated as an equal.

It's the future of the American people at stake. It's not a joke. Put the laugh track away. Get your head in the game, Rudy.

They'll treat him like an idiot

McCain will mock him

Rudy will laugh at him

Romney will probably just say something stupid --"you've been reading Al Queida's handouts" or something like that

Ron should do a shout out to Fox News -- You were right Fox -- there are only 5 candidates -- you just picked the wrong ones though

Paul Rudy McCain Huckabee Romney were the ones who should have been at the Fox debate

They really can't, to be honest. Any attempt to marginalize him at this point will have blowback, as Ghouliani found out. Also, they really can't give him time to speak... people might listen.

Edited. I mean the other candidates, of course.

I think the mood will be more refined and dignified for Ron Paul this time around. (Money talks, Bullsh*t walks.)

Govenor Huckabee, do you believe in God and why does he demand that we vote for you?

...sounds pretty realistic :-(

Priceless
