Perry will be seated next to Bachmann. WaPo has a debate seating chart:




Worth noting: The ends are actually a perfect spot from which to mount attacks on the leading candidates (since those seated there will be almost facing them anyway).

I'll listen for your cheer in the loud chorus of them when Michele Bachmann says God's probably loading up another hurricane to throw at the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

This does raise the question: What will this debate's embarrassing audience reaction be, and how out of proportion will it be blown?

Wait, so Perry's the "domestic energy" candidate?

Gotta admit, so far, everyone's doing a pretty good job.

Except for the Bloomberg AV crew.

Best debate so far, the format works for everyone actually. Too bad it's on Bloomberg...

They (the moderators) have actually done well on the follow-ups

The American people want a radical tax plan that raises taxes on most of them to pass? That's news.

Cain brought up Rich Lowry.  Is that the same Rich Lowry from the conservative publication called "The National Review"?

No, it's "Lowery" - http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/09/18/shhhh-its-herman-cains-secret-kitchen-cabinet/

Uh oh. Romney, don't mention Bush. That never happened, remember?

You're more likely to hear these candidates mention Franklin Pierce than W.

- Where is Perry?
- Gingrich is "winning," but I hope that those fact-checkers we saw before the debate are looking at what he said about the Fed
- Romney's worst debate yet (though not a disaster)

This is pretty spot on. Btw is Romney going to take the plunge now, because he defended TARP? Or is it going to be the same deal as his MA governor healthcare bill?

He wasn't defending "TARP" or "bailouts." Scorn the label, praise the the policy. (As with "Obamacare.")

Newt, too, speaks against "unilateral disarmament."

You know, an interesting part of this next segment is that participation is a function of how energetic a candidate is, not just who the moderators feel like asking questions.

Who do you think will talk the most? Santorum? Gingrich?

Does this Cain-Romney exchange sound rehearsed to anyone else?

Good, interesting Q from Gingrich.

Will anyone ask someone other than Romney a Q?
