New Hampshire Primary: Republicans And Democrats Debate Tonight
An historic event will be taking place this evening in New Hampshire: a debate among the candidates, Republican and Democrats, on the same night. The debate, taking place at St. Anselm College just outside of Manchester, will host the Republican Presidential hopefuls at 7PM EDT, with the Democrats following at 9PM EDT.
It has been reported that the debates will be livestreamed, but the links have not yet been published. Once they are I will update this post.
I will be liveblogging the debates as well, mostly in an effort to make up for my lack of enthusiastic coverage of the campaigns to date.
No commentsGod talks to Pat Robertson again: Predictions for 2008
God speaks with Pat Robertson, and what did He tell him? Among other things: 2008 will be a year of worldwide violence, Evangelism will increase and more people will seek God…
Why does anyone listen to this loon anymore? I mean he was the one who said homosexuals and abortionists cause 9/11. Pat is a happy clappy prat that no one should care about or listen to. Lets hope he gets called “home” very soon.

Primary schedule…
Now that the primaries in the US are getting interesting you might want a breakdown of the schedule state by state. In my continuing efforts to save you time; here is a concise and simple breakdown. I wonder if Wyoming are regretting trying to play it clever and having their primary between Iowa and New Hampshire. Those of you who have access to Fox might like to know there is a debate from New Hampshire on today mid-afternoon US time. Let’s hope the compare is better than Nurse Ratchet in Iowa.
If you are interested here is a source for results on Wyoming’s “County Conventions.” Romney is doing well, but Thompson has taken quite a few counties as well as a couple to Duncan Hunter.

A Four Day Scramble
The seats in the various caucus precincts in Iowa had barely gone cold when the remaining presidential candidates were boarding their private jets and winging their way to New Hampshire. Most had arrived in the wee hours of the morning. John McCain was already here, deciding to remain in New Hampshire to campaign rather then spending another day in Iowa.
All of the candidates hit the ground running, either basking in the results from Iowa and hoping for a boost in their poll numbers or trying to make up for their less than stellar showing in the Iowa contest.
To say that there’s going to be intense campaigning between now and Tuesday would be understating the case. While many of the TV networks had crews spread throughout Iowa, the networks have their news anchors here in the Granite State, running their nightly news broadcasts from sets in Manchester or elsewhere in the state.
The next four days will be interesting, with so much campaigning be crammed into a very short amount of time. If we aren’t tripping over candidates stumping for our votes, will be bumping into the media covering them. To quote Bette Davis, Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.
Indeed it will.
While I haven’t covered the campaigns in my usual fashion, I will attempt to add a few insights about the candidates and the issues over the next few days. I admit to a large amount of campaign fatigue, having put up with visits from presidential wannabes for the past 13 months. It’s been a long road already and there’s still another 11 months to go before the big election in November.
