–Lee Fang, reporter at ThinkProgress, joins us to discuss the realities about Herman Cain that aren’t being discussed in the corporate media, Cain’s 9-9-9 economic “plan,” and much more.

–Sir Darryl Roberts is filling in for Louis for the second time, and we analyze the bizarre noises in the background during his first appearance, why he is called Sir Darryl, and more.

–David agrees with Sarah Palin that Newt Gingrich looked the best in the debate.

–Mitt Romney, in explaining why Rick Perry is wrong to accuse him of hiring illegals, admits to something even worse, and then Romney tells Newt Gingrich that he got the idea for an individual mandate for healthcare in Massachusetts from Gingrich himself.

–Rick Perry is booed for going after Anderson Cooper during the debate, while Herman Cain flip flops 180 degrees within hours on the topic of negotiating with terrorists.

–While Republicans continue to claim Occupy Wall Street has no coherent message, Republican Eric Cantor brings up  “income disparity” on national television in a reasonable way, confirming OWS is having an effect.
