The order of the candidates has been posted:
First, the podium order has been set, and it wasn’t random. Here it is from left to right:
And Huckabee is closer to the center because of his 2nd place finish in Iowa.
Update: 8:30 pm EST -Word from the debates, is that Ron Paul supporters outnumber the opposition by far.
Update II: 8:45 pm EST-a few Ron Paul supporters told Fox that if they didn't treat Ron fairly they would stage some sort of protest. To which FOX replied, that they would be arrested.
Update III: 9:35 pm EST-so far Ron has been asked 2 questions. At the outset of debate he was asked how he views Thompson's entry? And he replied with "I welcome it, it'll dilute the pro-war vote , since I'm against the war" The 2nd questoin came 30 minutes later and they tried to paint him as a kook quoting him incorrectly saying he wanted guns in the hands of passengers-he called them on it, and reaffirmed that he wanted the companies to be in charge of it not the passengers, to which he got a thunderous applause.
Update IV: 9:50 pm EST -Ron Paul repeated his foreign policy stance, then was attacked by Huckabee, then had a 4-5 minute intereaction sparring with each other. This is great , should be good for some good exposure tomorrow
Update V: 10:15 pm EST - Ron Paul was asked about eliminating all the numerous departments. Even FBI and CIA, and he replied that we should not sacrifice liberty for security, that even with 40 billion spent on FBI, and with them getting reports about the hijackers training, they still didn't act on it.
Update VI: 10:25 pm EST -Ron Paul paul was asked how he would handle Iran as president. His reply: go to congress, and talk with Iran instaed of attacking them. He mentioned how we stood down soviets with nukes and how we shouldn't crap our pants over Iran getting nukes.
And he said that israel is in no threat because they have 300 nukes themselves.
The debate is over.
The text poll results are starting to be shown...and Ron Paul is leading with 34%...TWICE the amount of the next guy
As usual FOX is spinning this saying RP people voted twice. Well guess what someone actually tried to test it out and posted this message:
