I'm actually kind of curious about this one, since foreign policy has gotten such short shrift so far in the campaign.  One of the more interesting fault lines that I'll be looking for is how much the candidates stick with the Bush-era "neocon" democracy promotion line, and how much they try to appeal to jmfcst-style "support the strongman" impulses:

I'm expecting a lot of national greatness rhetoric and Obama-bashing. But I am interested in how Perry and Cain present themselves tonight.

Also, I love Bloggingheads.

Oh, no, Rick Perry doesn't know what this question is about...

It's sounding like 2008.... three candidates essentially calling for war with Iran.

Is it just me, or was that Huntsman's best moment in any debate so far?

It's nothing new.
He's usually rambling and indirect.

Why the hell does everyone here hate Isreal?

That's Kenyan anti-colonial ideology for ya'.

Worse debate ever.  The moderator thinks he's one of the candidates.  He needs to stop interrupting.

Really? I've been enjoying it. I think the topical debates work much better than the catch-alls.

Perry shows that he can be quick-witted. That's promising for his candidacy.

Cain is doing bad tonite....talking very slowly

Yeah, that was really bad.

Also, sad that the crowd goes wild over waterboarding.

Kinda wish that the moderator had let Bachmann and Paul get into it over waterboarding.

It's very annoying, and I'm tempted to stop watching. He's not letting the candidates finish their thoughts or start dialogues when they disagree.

Paul's rant was incredibly unfocused and not to the point.

He was much more inspiring in the '08 debates. Then again, the laggy feed didn't do him any favors.

Oh, god, they asked Perry about the Eurozone. Hold your breath.

EDIT: Fortunately, there were only 10 seconds available for him to answer. Um, what?

I'm interested in how Clarence suggests dealing with those who refuse to serve.
