We’ve had like a million debates this year. But it’s no hyperbole to say that we haven’t had one so far with anything like the amount of news that’s happened over the last 48 hours. For a handful of reasons it now looks very possible that Newt Gingrich could win the South Carolina primary on Saturday.
With all that on the line, the candidates meet tonight at 8 PM for yet another debate. Join us right here. We’ll be covering it live.

The TPM Poll Average for South Carolina is now Gingrich 32%, Romney 31.5%, Paul 14.6%, Santorum 11.5%.
