GOP warmonger presidental debate, 7 p.m.

Tonight's the last of the debates, at least for a little while. The more I think about it, I'm actually looking forward to this Republican candidate debate a little bit more than last Sunday's Democratic candidate debate. With the Democrats, I listen too hard, because I'm really putting a great deal of thought into who I'll vote for in the Democratic Primary. With the Republicans, I can just sit back and relax.

A few predictions about tonight...

First and foremost, we're gonna hear a great deal about the plot to blow up JFK Airport, the only question is how much. I can guarantee you it'll be a lot, though. I'm sure Rudy will weigh in - he has to protect his precious 9-11 franchise.

Scooter Libby will be Kryptonite - if it's mentioned (if Wolf does his job, he'll ask), the candidates will say very little, except the bottom feeders, who have to score points any way they can.

Mark this one down - the candidates will refer to the Sunday debate, specifically Dennis Kucinich's statement that he would not use force to take out Osama bin Laden. Time to dust off the "Democrats are Pussies" manual, which is dog-eared and well-worn from being in Karl Rove's back pocket since 1999. Thank GOD that right after Kucinich said that on Sunday, Barack Obama said that he would take out bin Laden, without qualifying his remarks. (By the way, I agree with Obama - I'm for peace, but in the case of bin Laden, he declared war on America by killing 3,000 people. I'd put a bullet in his head.)

It'll be interesting to see if Wolf Blitzer maintains the format, overall tone and style that he used on Sunday in the Democratic debate. Will there be any hypotheticals? If so, will anyone call Wolf out about it? The hypothetical questions in every debate so far have been totally absurd - from extensive "What Ifs" about terrorism, to "What role would Bill Clinton play in your administration?"

The debate begins at 7 p.m., and I'll begin blogging shortly thereafter.
