Wonder if we'll see another pre-debate "truce" tonight....

[VolcanoJen]

... like we did before the Nevada debate, which softened the tone and rhetoric of that discussion.

Only hours later that night, Robert Johnson dropped his bomb while introducing Senator Clinton at Columbia College.

What, if anything, should we expect from the three candidates tonight? And please, no boxing metaphors. :-)

1. I expect it to be civil

even friendly. Intra-party debates usually are.

[VolcanoJen]

2. I'm not so sure.

Tensions are a little raw since the last few debates, and with South Carolina being the most populated state to have a Democratic contest so far, just about everything is at stake.

I'd like to see them really dig their rather scant differences on issues, honestly.

6. You mean WhoreMedia/DLC controlled non-debates, right?

Debates involve discussion of actual issues, and how the candidates differ on those issues. And such a discussion isn't even possible when candidates are deliberately excluded.

7. Which of the dozens of candidates

who are not included has got you so upset?

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. I don't

I expect this to be wild tonight.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. It'sDr.King's Birthday Celebration

I expect them to be civil...

[MNDemNY]

5. Last I heard the respective "camps" are taking up arms.

[VolcanoJen]

8. What does that mean...

... context, please?
