Tonight (Sat, 12/10/11) the GOP Debates will be aired on ABC.
This will probably be a turning point for several of the GOP candidates:

Rick Perry is still looking for a second chance to make a first impression,
but it's hard to un-ring a bell or un-see a "Strong" video ad, Oooops.

Santorum is scheduled for a "big announcement", and may follow Cain into suspended animation

Jon Huntsman was "forcibly" eliminated from the debate because the organizers
did not like his politics or poll numbers or something.... some called it "dis-invited"

Michele Bochmann will be Michelle Bochmann... maybe in her best white uniform.

Mitt Romney may be feeling it's time to sink or swim... shih teu or get off the pot.

As debate approaches, Republicans, conservatives target Newt Gingrich
As front-runner in the Republican presidential nominating race,
Newt Gingrich is a natural target for critics. At this point, it's mainly
conservatives and fellow Republicans questioning his character and leadership qualities.
And besides all that:

Ron Paul has released his "serial hypocrisy" ad



And, even the Palestinians dismayed by Gingrich remarks.

(AP) JERUSALEM — A slew of Palestinian officials reacted with dismay
Saturday to Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich's statement
that the Palestinians are an "invented" people.

Quote:
"Remember, there was no Palestine as a state — (it was) part of the Ottoman Empire.
I think we have an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs
and historically part of the Arab community and they had the chance to go many places,"
Gingrich said, according to a video excerpt posted online.
The Palestinian prime minister, Salam Fayyad, demanded Gingrich "review history."
