They called Ron Paul, he walks out and gets MASSIVE applause. The screen goes black, it comes back on when Rick Santorum walks on stage. Did this only happen to me? I am in Southern California watching on DirecTV.

A coincidence. They just blacked out Santorum. Sounds like crappy CNN feed.

Santorum got blacked out a little right now during his opening statements... maybe there was nothing nefarious..

I had to switch to the international feed because the CNN US feed kept messing up. http://livestation.me/2011/cnn-2/

Ron Paul and Santorum were blacked out for me. Typical.

Honestly, I don't think they're so cartoonish they would try to somehow thwart support for Ron Paul by momentarily cutting out the video feed when he walks across the stage at the start of the debate.

Yes and it happened before in 07! I believe it was an interview though. He was literally blacked out. I try not to be a conspiracy nut, but damn they sure make it tough sometimes.

Haha, yeah, it came back as soon as Santorum was announced. It did black out for a split second whike Santorum was talking a few minutes later... So maybe just coincidence.
