Saturday's GOP debate on ABC should be a good one.

If they were not true then why did the fighter quit? Come Yoni...Cain didn't tell his wife because he was gettin' a little somethin' somethin. Even you know it.

Jeeze, y'all get off topic easy.

What did the media do to prove or disprove the allegation?

That was the same time frame he was going through kimo. I think he realized when he saw all his supporters leaving that regardless of the truth, he was done.

I, personally, was getting tired of him always having crazy conspiracy theories.

Now, contrast those two statements to all the out-of-breath reporting done on Sarah Palin's drug addled relative

Never heard of him/her tbh.

I wasn't making a statement on what Obama's relationships have to do with his governance (even though I think that is an argument for another thread) but, the disparity in treatment between by the media.

If it has nothing to do with his governance, why would it need to be covered anymore than it had been.

The mainstream media ignored -- with impunity -- the allegations former Senator and Democrat Presidential candidate John Edwards was involved in an extra-marital affair and had fathered a child by his mistress.

Except when they didn't.

Herman Cain has denied any wrongdoing and, yet, the media is fostering the perception that all the allegations are true.

Cain is fostering that perception by pulling out of the race and slinking back home to his wife to explain his, um, generosity.

For someone who clearly is not a conservative, you are paying alot of attention to this. I think that Bachmann will take a commanding lead by her performance in this debate! Book it! I was right about Cain and Newt and I will be right again.

Has that "commanding lead" materialized yet? Bachmann looked largely irrelevant in that debate. It seemed as though the moderators only fed her questions because they had to.

Diane Sawyer came off as a in the debate. She acted like she was still drunk off Obama's -koolaid mix and didn't want to be there. I think Ron Paul won the debate but he can't win right because he's a crazy person. That's what the Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh crowd say.

If you happened to devote 90 minutes to the Lincoln-Douglas-style debate between Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman that took place yesterday at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire — and you are in tenuous possession of even modest mental faculties — you will almost certainly have had one or more of the following four reactions: (a) Hey, this isn't a debate, it's a two-man panel discussion; (b) Hey, this isn't a debate, it's a two-man circle jerk; (c) Hey, this isn't a debate, it's a two-man exercise in well-intentioned high-mindedness; or (d) Hey, this isn't a debate, it's a profoundly cynical two-man political maneuver masquerading as an exercise in well-intentioned high-mindedness.

For those keeping score at home, (a), (b), and (d) are all correct — (a) and (b) quite obviously, but (d) somewhat less so, which is why decoding (d) will be the objective of this brief column. (As for (c), if you actually thought that, I have an ounce of oregano and lawn trimmings I'd like to tell you is Sour Diesel and sell you for $500 an ounce.)

Huntsman, please recall, is not running against Gingrich, the current tea party/ultracon favorite. He is running against Mitt Romney, whom Huntsman hopes will come reeling out of Iowa having been drubbed there badly enough that he'll then also fail to win New Hampshire, thus allowing Huntsman (goes his campaign's theory) to emerge, by a miracle, as the Establishment's new alternative to Newt.
The last thing Huntsman wanted to do today, then, was to take Gingrich down a peg. What he wants instead is to boost him (and hence sink Romney) now in hopes of having a chance to challenge him later.

As for Gingrich, his ulterior motives in the debate were equally devious. On the one hand, having ostentatiously positioned himself over the weekend as the man who will run a "relentlessly positive" campaign — a claim undercut somewhat by his DNC-style attack on Romney's record at Bain Capital — he wanted to present the image of himself discoursing amiably with Huntsman, and also to slather some of the two-time ambassador's gravitas-flavored foreign-policy juice all over his well-fed self. On the other (more important) hand, Gingrich has every interest in bolstering Huntsman's prospects in New Hampshire, for every vote that the former Utah governor obtains in the Granite State will come out of Romney's hide, not his own.
