The Pundits Live Blog the Alternative Universe so I don’t have to

There’s a Republican debate going on right now sans Mittens Romney.  There’s a lot of live blogs going on out there.  I’m putting this thread up but telling you that I really have no desire to watch a train wreck.  It’s being held in Greenville,  South Carolina.

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The 2012 election season begins Thursday in earnest with the Republican Party’s first presidential primary debate here at 9 p.m. ET.

But only five GOP hopefuls are taking part, as some hang back and wait to fully engage (like former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman) while others have yet to commit to a bid for the Oval Office (see former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and current Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels).

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is the biggest name taking part at Peace Center for the Performing Arts, though Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) certainly has the most enthusiastic fanbase. Others hitting the stage include former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.), former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain.

and if you really want to watch it, it’s on FOX surprise, surprise, surprise!!! NOT!!!

The twitter channel is #SCdebate.

Things you really want to know or not:

All of the hopefuls but Herman Cain would release OBL’s photo.  (whew, they GOT the big one out of the way) and now they’re all singing the praises of  ‘enhanced interrogation’.

Please, deliver us from EVIL!!!
