Join us at 6 pm tonight right here on Slog as Dominic Holden and I live-Slog the pre-Iowa Straw Poll Republican Debate. Every Republican debate so far has had a key player missing: Romney didn't attend the first and third debates, Bachmann wasn't at the first, and Huntsman hasn't attended any so far. This time, Rick Perry isn't taking part, so that means that all attention will be on Mitt ("I (Heart) Corporations") Romney. Things probably won't be as civil as the last debate, to be sure.

Will Pawlenty set himself on fire to remind voters that he's still alive? Will Ron Paul finally admit that his entire career has been a very long practical joke as part of a deep-cover Candid Camera black ops mission? Will Michele Bachmann finally figure out where the camera is? Will Herman Cain pizza pizza pizza pizza pizza bigot? Join us tonight for all the answers!
