These debates, hosted by The Des Moines Register, will be the last debates before the Iowa caucuses. I cannot guarantee that I will be live-blogging either, mainly because I can’t guarantee I will be back in front of the computer by 1 pm. What will make these debates unusual, besides the odd start time and the fact that we’ll be going another 3 weeks without another before the selection process actually starts, is that it will be available over a multitude of networks; CNN, C-SPAN3, Fox News Channel, Fox News Radio, and C-SPAN Radio, as well as at DesMoinesRegister.com.
Since I wasn’t able to collate a look ahead to the Republican debate, which will feature not 8, but 9 candidates (including Alan Keyes), I’ll just point you in the general direction of Jim Geraghty’s preview. Besides, he put together something far better than I could with an unlimited amount of effort.
