For Republican debates, a race among the networks to be first to air one in primetime

The Republican debates, which so far have provided a ratings bump for the cable networks that carry them, are coming to network television.

On Monday, NBC announced that its January 23, 2012 debate in Florida--co-sponsored by the National Journal and St. Petersburg Times--will be moderated by Brian Williams and broadcast live. (The debate will also stream live on MSNBC.com and NationalJournal.com, as well as air on Telemundo with simultaneous Spanish-language translation.)

In its announcement, NBC touted the event as the first weekday primetime airing of a primary debate on a broadcast network in the 2012 election cycle. In January, NBC will broadcast a Sunday morning debate during a special edition of "Meet The Press." The last GOP debate that NBC sponsored--on Sept. 7--was broadcast on MSNBC.

Also on Monday, ABC News announced that its previously announced Republican debate in Des Moines, Iowa, will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10, and that the network will broadcast it in primetime. The event--moderated by Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos--will stream live on Yahoo.com, part of Yahoo's big partnership with ABC News. The debate will also re-air the next day on "This Week with Christiane Amanpour." In its release, ABC touted the event as "the only broadcast network debate in primetime before the caucuses."

But on Tuesday, CBS announced that it would broadcast a GOP primary debate from South Carolina's Wofford College on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. ET--trumpeting that event as "the first Republican Presidential Primary debate on broadcast television."

"The first debate of the campaign on broadcast television will be on CBS," CBS News president David Rhodes crowed in a release.

However, CBS will only show the first hour of the 90-minute debate live on network television. The rest will be broadcast on CBSNews.com, NationalJournal.com and "will be available to CBS affiliate television and radio stations." Like NBC and ABC, CBS plans to show portions of the Scott Pelley-moderated affair the next morning on its Sunday morning talk show, "Face the Nation."

We need a Gingrich/Cain ticket. Gingrich to debate Obama and leaving him bleeding. Cain to tackle Biden...not that Biden is enough of a challenge for Cain but it would be a ko nonetheless.

I hope that for at least one of these, Obama and Biden sit down, flip on the TV, down a 12 of cold ones, and laugh at their competition.

Gingrich rocks the debates and he would demolish Obama. We need to nominate somebody who can take him on. Obviously that is not Rick Perry, his debate performances have been terrible.

Today "Profiteers" dedicated their life’s to fight over “Evil Big Government”.To all of you mongers so call Christ followers remember his socialist/communist teaching over poor and rich if yes then gave your stolen money and possession to the poor or maybe you two face liars and Hippocrates like you masters Koch Brothers finders and financiers of American for Prosperity,Tea Party,Heritage foundation,Right wing radios,Fox&Friends “so called News"Tea party puppets and all puppeteer’s repeating talking points and leas of Heritage foundation like broking records.Today We have the best republicans majority Congress what Koch Brothers money can bay,History repeats itself one rainy day"Bastille"will fall and Koch Brothers their and associates, puppets,puppeteers will be intrudes to French Lady"Mrs.Guilatin".

My friends,recently I discovered on YouTube some disturbing information regarding secret societies that woke me to a harsh reality.A few of these so called “societies,” include the 170 year old Illuminate,Bilderberg, and the Bohemian Grove.One of the worldwide biggest societies is a Globalist consisting of 13 family bloodlines and headed by the Rothschild family; they are currently holding half of the world’s wealth accumulated from wars and other significant events. Members of Bilderberg are Kings,Queens,politicians and individuals of vast wealth such as George Soros,Rockefeller,Carnegie,the Koch Brothers,as well as practically all worldwide political heads of financial institutions that are members of secret societies.They are all working on the creation of a One World Order—and it’s no longer a well-kept secret.Politicians, their ideologies,and their party affiliations no longer matter after they get elected and become millionaires (via off-shore accounts) in no time; which has become a sad reality. Puppeteers are using them to implement OWO plans.The European Union, as well as the North American Union, spawned the B.K, NAFTA, and the G.W.B who signed documents with Canada and Mexico without Congressional approval. V.Putin in 10/2011 proposed the creation of the Ural Asian Union. The 3 country in near future Iran Syria N.Korea will join OWO by furs and then final step: OWO to keep us under total control while illuminate physical currency and force the placement of computer-chips in our bodies and brains so no one will purchase anything without being electronically scanned.The Builders of OWO continues killing humans every day with virus’s, wars, economic crisis, and many other ways most of us don’t now and don’t understand. They have one goal: it is to take over the world and eliminate 90% of the World’s population and create slaves with the rest. My friends we must investigate and expose their plans,but if you want to be a market slave go ahead because in the totalitarian OWO regime, there will be only two classes—the masters; the incredibly wealthy, and their slaves.Can you guess which one you will belong to, or it is too difficult for you to realize? OWO members call themselves patriots and constitutional defenders. Wake up Brothers; do your research, my recommendation: read the book “Masters Game” by Graham Hancock &amp Robert Bauval.Its book contains 6 hundred pages with sources,photos and references etc. And YouTube videos especially: Zeitgeist by Peter Joseph,The Upcoming New World Order,NWO Deception,Satanic NOW,One World Religion,The big deception,NWO Alien Agenda,The Deception of One World Religion,New World Order Plan to Kill 90% of the World's Population, Illuminati Satanic 2012+ UFO Event,NWO Satanic Higher Consciousness,New Age Satanism,Satanic Enlightenment,New Age Deception,The Power behind the New World Order Full Documentary, The Satanic 9/11 Ritual, by Bill Cooper.Wake up my Brothers time is running out.Negative comments of puppets only encourage.

big shock, it'll be in the state where Cain won due to buying the lot. meanwhile, in the rest of the country, Ron Paul tops the polls. You won't see it in the news, he's won more polls than any other candidate.

If the GOP is smart, they better work with Obama to get the economy moving. Many independants, like myself, can see what's gong on and vote accordingly in 2012.
