--- MTV Debate Tonight at 6pm EST. You Wont Believe this!!! ---

[fxmercenary]

Apparently its Clinton/Obama vs. Paul/Huckabee

McCain and Romney I guess wont be coming!

This is the People's chance to see Ron Paul in action against the Democrats!!!

FINALLY! If people watch this they will KNOW he is the only one who stands a chance against the Democratic Presidential Nomination!!!


---------

Young voters tripled their 2004 turnout in the Iowa caucuses and the Democratic and Republican primaries, and doubled it in the New Hampshire primaries. In Tuesday's Florida primaries, turnout for voters under 30 tripled compared with previous presidential primary elections in the state. That leaves little doubt that young voters' support will translate to hundreds of delegates on Super Tuesday.

Invitations to this latest Presidential Dialogue have also been extended to McCain and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. ( But no Reply on if they will actually be there tonight. )

[AFM]

He will rip them a new asshole

[The One]

I think I just had a romantic explosion.

[Move]

Is it just me, or does anyone else want to see Paul debate Obama? The leading online candidates...

[pacelli]

Anyone suspect that McCain or Romney will swoop in at the last minute?

[InLoveWithRon]

Thats nice.. But the problem is Ron is in Texas for a 3pm speech.. How will he make it to New York by 6 ?

It wont have the same effect if he is streamed by satellite.

[Sey.Naci]

Anyone suspect that McCain or Romney will swoop in at the last minute?Yup.

[nodope0695]

Something tells me they probably cancelled the speech in Texas.

[0zzy]

I think it was already filmed, maybe.

[InLoveWithRon]

Something tells me they probably cancelled the speech in Texas.

How? The campaign just announced yesterday that he will be in texas at 3 today

.

[nodope0695]

How? The campaign just announced yesterday that he will be in texas at 3 today

I dunno...I was just thinking outloud.:D Perhaps it was pre-recorded in NYC for airing at 6 p.m..

[ronpaulfollower999]

Is it just me, or does anyone else want to see Paul debate Obama? The leading online candidates...

I want to see the 2 debate.

[Elijah]

Satellite?

[0zzy]

The candidates will join the 90-minute event via satellite: Clinton from Tucson, Ariz., and Obama from Minneapolis, Minn., on the Democratic side; Mike Huckabee from Alabama and Ron Paul from Texas on the Republican side. Better-polling GOP rivals McCain and Mitt Romney declined invitations to participate.

ahh, makes sense.

[Thanehand]

If only the young people watching MTV would actually vote :/ *THAT* is why McCain and Romney aren't showing up to participate. They know that the audience doesn't really matter at this point.

[pacelli]

Probably satellite streamed. I agree, it won't have the same effect unless everyone else is satellite streamed.

[tamor]

I have heard that RP will be video-linked - not actually there-

[CJLauderdale4]

A previous thread said Ron would be appearing via satellite!!
Go Ron!!

[Karsten]

Whatever happened to Ron Paul's MYSPACE debate/interview thing. They were supposed to interview every candidate, but only went through like 3 or 4.

[InLoveWithRon]

Whatever happened to Ron Paul's MYSPACE debate/interview thing. They were supposed to interview every candidate, but only went through like 3 or 4.

It's the same debate.. It's called MTV/MySpace

It's on MTV and sponsored by myspace

[ForrestLayne]

If I read the thing right - There is no debate... Just questions and answers one candidate at a time??????

I think RP will do great here because he won't have to rush his answers.

I do not think there is any head to head debating.

[pacelli]

If only the young people watching MTV would actually vote :/ *THAT* is why McCain and Romney aren't showing up to participate. They know that the audience doesn't really matter at this point.

I wonder if anyone has any stats on the number of registered 18-24 republican voters in each primary we've already had vs. the number that actually voted? I've been looking but can't seem to find the stats.

[affa]

Fortunately, they are wrong.

[fuzzybekool]

MTV said they would remote broadcast if necessary.

[j0ew00ds]

Not to ruin everyone's happiness, but until we see he is getting equal time, don't assume it will happen here. So far, he's yet to get the same opportunities the other people do.

Just saying, don't discount the possibility.

[Karsten]

It's the same debate.. It's called MTV/MySpace

It's on MTV and sponsored by myspace

But, they interviewed Mccain and Edwards previously alone for full hours. It was called "Presidential conversations" or something like that. They were supposed to do that with all the candidates.

[Devil_rules_in_extremes]

He will rip them a new asshole

LOL!!!! I can't wait to see the liberal socialist responses of Obama/Hillary against Ron Paul's free market, limited government, leave the people alone, stance.

[HollyforRP]

sponsored by myspace means sponsored by Fox

[LibertyRevolution]

this is one time i would aprove of him geting on a private jet and flying their to be in person. i mean come on, its mtv youth vote, your 2 biggest rivals are not going to be there, get on a plane now, this is national tv coverage.

[wfd40]

Paul better be on his A game tonight!

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

I think I just had a romantic explosion.:)

[colecrowe]

Note: This is no surprise, since everyone one I know who has served in Iraq including myself supports RP or Obama.

He has over 682 official, signed endorsments from Military and Veterans on his website, and many, many of those have served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other wars.
Here they are: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/veterans

Are you excited or what!!!!!!????

Me toooooo:D

[constitutional]

Is This Confirmed? Someone Confirm This!!!

[virginiakid]

IT will be telecast won't it, I know that is what the other candidates are doing.

[Jeremy]

I don't think it's anyone vs. anyone

[synthetic]

There won't be any debating between the candidates.

[ClayTrainor]

I wish they were debating, ron paul would spank the dem's!

[greeksta59]

he will be there via satellite......

[biles1234]

I hope Ron Paul doesn't forget who his audience is (spoiled, ignorant MTV-raised kids) and doesn't just perform business like usual. He needs to dumb down what he is saying. If not the audience will barely understand, even moreso than at the debates.

[CareerTech1]

this is exciting - can't wait

[Cinderella]

mccain and romney dont care about the youth vote....all they care about is that they sign up for the military and give their lives for their selfish reasons...why would they care what the youth thinks? they know theyd get their asses handed to them in a silver platter

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

Damn, I would love to see a Huck/Ron debate face to face, 1 on 1!!!!
