Today will see the first New Hampshire debate between Romney; McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Huckabee; Ron Paul and Fred Thompson.
The Democratic field is smaller and includes Bill Richardson, Edwards, Obama and Clinton.
ABC News anchor Charles Gibson will try and get the politicians to debate among themselves by giving them three major issues while they sit in a semi-circle.
The second half of each 90-minute debate will see specific questions thrown at the candidates; this debate was arranged in conjunction with Facebook and ABC. Some of the questions we hear may come from issues that were raised by members of Facebook.
As Ron Paul is one of the biggest candidates online, how do you think US Rep Ron Paul will do in New Hampshire debate?

I expect we are going to see a much more aggressive Paul in this one.. They will be calling Ron out, and he will smoke them..
Ron Paul’s gonna suck. Sorry for telling the truth.
After watching videos of the earlier debates, I think he will do quite well. Despite being marginalized, given hostile questions, and laughed at, he stayed calm, in control and on message.
While his folksy speaking style may remind some of Grandpa rambling n, a careful listen will show that his rambles are really carefully collected strings of soundbites and talking points.
The only problem with Paul’s performance in the earlier debates was that not that many Americans saw and heard him. I think they’ll be turning in tonight, and that they’ll be turning in to see this sudden new phenomenon they know next to nothing about. And I predict that Dr. Paul won’t disappoint them; he’ll deliver another stellar performance.
I see a lot of the word “hope” in these comments… I’ll tell you this, for me, the way I look at it in relation to the other candidates, I KNOW Dr. Paul will due better than a SUPERB job in the debate. He always has, he always will.
Ron Paul will show the stinking neocons who this party belongs to!
When Ron Paul is on his game he is the most articulate and persuasive communicator of the core values of liberty and freedom that I have ever heard. This is why he has won the online polling for the debates - when he’s rocking & rolling he *owns* the opposition.
But like all things if you are not receptive to the message (for whatever reason) then even a communicator will not change your mind.
Iowa was a victory for Dr. Paul, This man is a doctor and knows how to deliver. He will do so in the abc debate, and the new hampshire people will give him top three placement for sure. Then we are looking at a completely different race. I have Two kids and they deserve to grow up in the beautiful country that i did. So do your families as well. Go Dr. Paul!!!
Read this to the harmony of the 13th warrior prayer.
Lo there, do i hear liberty,
Lo,do i hear the cry of my people back from the begining.
Lo,they do call to me,and beg me to return this counrty to the people of freedom and liberty.
And to take my place among them in the halls of freedom.
Where LIBERTY and PEACE can live FOREVER!!!
The latest Rasmussen telephone poll of likely GOP voters in NH has Ron Paul at 14%. Those polls under-count Ron Paul. In Iowa the telephone polls under-counted him by 37%. It that number holds, he could get 19%. A strong showing appears likely.
I have faith Ron Paul will handle any question they ask him.
I’ve seen it before; he can handle the most snarky, insinuating and linguistically manipulative question thrown at him.
And, trust me, they will, especially at this one, he’s starting to truly scare the establishment.
It gonna get fun now!
