What I want to happen in tonight's GOP debate.

A major Romney faux pas: From my perspective, Romney seems to have a ton of pent-up anger (see Brett Baier interview, or Mitt getting touchy-feely with Governor Goodhair). Will he be able to handle the kitchen sink that's going to be thrown at him from Gingrich?

Paul/Huntsman undercard: Neither is going to win, but bad blood is brewing between both camps.

Choking on Santorum: Welcome to the big leagues! But much like a September call-up, I don't expect Santorum to stay relevant for too much longer.

Newt's last stand: Is he going to go out with a bang, or a whimper?

I don't want to miss it in case tonight's the night someone finally bites the head off a bat.

I thought it would settle down after Bachmann and Cain left, but they're still trying to out-crazy each other.

With four candidates over sixty and only about six-seven hours of sleep, I think it will be interesting to see which will wake up as grumpy old men that don't need to be answering the three a.m. phone calls.

Starts one hour earlier than when Meet the Press goes on and will run into that show.

And no, they have no shame.

A condensed debate schedule and his shitty acting will sure lead to many laughs.

I'm sure Ron Paul will look like the crypt keeper; maybe he should borrow whatever his son has on his head to soften his image?

Newt may try to hit on Jon Huntsman's daughter's, obviously failing and pissing him off even more.

It might be a fun weekend after all!

To have their pants catch on fire every time they tell a lie. They need to sit on fire extinguishers, and firefighters would need to be on stand by.

Alternatively, I'd settle for each of them saying something so stupid that even their Republican supporters cringe in horror. This one definitely has a lot of opportunity to occur.

1) Ron Pauls right eyebrow placed in a normal spot above his right eye.
2) Newty toot toot to toot his way right out of the race
3) Rick Santorum to be struck by lightning when discussing gay marriage
4) Michele Bachmann to get the HPV Vaccine on live TV
5) Mitt Romney's hair to spontaneously combust upon the mention of abortion
6) Rick Perry chortle his way back to erm TN, erm no, TX
7) John Huntsman to get a pulse
