It's going to be on Bloomberg TV, I'm not sure how many have that. Also apparently they have moved Cain next to Romney to give him more exposure than he was getting before. Maybe they are taking him more seriously as a candidate now.

It's kind of depressing. The questions are about the economy and while I don't understand a lot about that, these guys are laying the bs on pretty thick.

From what I am hearing Cain stated that Romney's budget plan is to complicated. Again Romney plays it safe. Perry didnt make any move. All talking about jobs need to be created and the usual rhetoric. I was listening to Prager harp on it.

There was one clear winner from Tuesday's Republican presidential debate, based on the simple metrics of name recognition: businessman Herman Cain's "9-9-9 Plan."

Virtually all the candidates at the debate table had something to say about Cain's plan to replace the tax code with three, flat nine-percent federal taxes on consumption, business and income.

One independent analysis of the Cain's plan suggests that it would not create enough revenue to sustain the government's most basic functions. When asked about this, Cain simply dismissed the premise and repeated the "9-9-9" pitch.

It was as if every time the candidates mentioned those words--"9-9-9"--Cain got a little more powerful.....snip~

Bachmann said if ya turn it upside down the Devil is in the details. :D It was her best shot of the night. Moreover the media then imposed themselves asking all other candidates to respond about it. Which they all did. Not to bright. Someone should have hit the press with.....what are you trying to influence the issues?
