Fox News will be broadcasting two "debates" (is this one a debate?) today, a kiddie table debate (or forum?) and a grownups debate.  The former will take place at 5pm Eastern and last for one hour, while the latter will take place at 9pm Eastern and last for two hours.

Seven Republican candidates will participate in the 5pm event:

Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Jim Gilmore

I am still unclear on the format for this event, and I don't appear to be alone:

If you have any news on what the format will be, post it here.

Feel free to post any pre-debate chatter here during the day, then use this thread for live commentary during the 5pm debate/forum.  After it's over, I'll unlock the other thread, which'll be for live commentary on the 9pm "big boys" debate.

I think the "kiddie debate" will go on first, similar to the "adult" and only will last an hour. That's what I am getting from it.

Fox consistently referred to it as a forum up until this week, now calling it a debate, so my impression is that it will just be a one-hour version of the debate later tonight. The candidates probably complained too much about how Tuesday's forum went, so Fox relented and made it into a more accessible format.

Like I said in the OP, feel free to use this thread for pre-debate chatter for both events.  Here's a primer on how all the candidates prepared (except they forgot Gilmore):

Agree 100% with your comment. Expect it to be very similar to the main debate later tonight. Maybe, more relaxed and informal.

Trump's debate prep strategy is to wing it:

All right, I'm going to bed in a few minutes.  When the kiddie debate starts, I'll presumably still be asleep, so have fun.

Apparently there's going to be no audience in the kids debate. So yeah, that'll be quite weird.

That makes this even more awkward.
