I predict if Ron has a really big night, he will hurdle over Newt and win IA. I think he needs to really go on the offensive here and show some forceful responses and a 'no more mr nice guy approach'.

either they will ignore him on time, or they will attack hard and not give him rebuttals. this is fox news, although im hopeful that cavuto will make sure ron gets his time.

Cavuto is modding? If so then that makes me happy. He will be very fair to ron paul

Toady is a big day. No doubt.

I still think everyone will attack Newt, he is the front runner...

[puppetmaster]

they may push... electability ....as in who is the slickest....this is going to be a smear attack I feel.
Ron will do well. They will ask him questions and interrupt to dislodge his thought process.

Hannity says he expects it to make big changes in Iowa. Hmmmmmm.

I hope Ron is well prepped on Israel questions. From scanning messageboads the past few days, it seems like the neocons have gotten their marching orders and are trying to hype the hell out of Ron's "concentration camp" comment in regards to Gaza. Wouldn't be surprised if Newt or Santorum (if not Fox themselves) brings it up. Ron needs to have an excellent response at the ready.

do we have a debate thread yet?

Cavuto moderating gives me hope. He's not just a talking head on FOX news, but an executive. Not someone Ailes can pressure as much to attack Ron
