Hmm... the trouble with liveblogging these debates is having to slog through the rehearsed, focus-group-determined, propagandistic answers of all the candidates who aren't Ron Paul. Admittedly, Thompson had one or two funny lines in the financial debate a few weeks back, and occasionally one of the neocon candidates will bait another with a sharp rhetorical hook. But it's all pretty stultifying otherwise.
This is Fox, so of course we'll get some kind of sci-fi postapocalyptic scenario question toward the end. Weirdly, Fox is already running a telephone poll asking who won the debate. Is this some kind of ploy to get Paul supporters to call in early and then disqualify them? Or maybe it's just Fox trying to see if the other candidates can muster any support at all with the phone lines open early. Most likely, though, there isn't any point to it at all.
