Political Debate

Tonight, Monday, June 13 CNN is hosting a debate in New Hampshire for the Republican "varsity" presidential candidates. I believe  John King  will moderate. It is a crowded team of aspiring presidents. If they all do opening statements it could be a long evening. If it's only Q&A it could prove dull. But, if there develops hand-to-hand combat it could get interesting. Trump, Daniels and Barbour have dropped out. Palin is on the bus. That leaves the following cast crowding the stage:
(in alphabetical order)
1 - Michele Bachmann - Congresswoman, house mother, Tea Party favorite.
2 - Herman Cain - Business man, Pizza owner.
3 - Newt Gingrich - glib idea man but his staff abandoned ship.
4 - Jon Huntsman - dark horse, former ambassador to China under OBAMA.
5 - Ron Paul - Congressman from Texas - Libertarian - should stir things up.
6 - Tim Pawlenty - former Governor.
7 - Mitt Romney  - old hand - former Governor of Mass. - seems to be the one to beat.
8 - Rick Santorum - former Senator from Penna.

So that's the line-up - barring any walk-ons - I didn't give you any odds. But 8PM  EDT tonight - I wouldn't miss it.
