Wednesday night, live from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, eight GOP candidates participated in a debate sponsored by CNBC focused solely on the economy. The questions were mostly substantive to the topic despite some sneering and snipping from moderators at times. The candidates largely avoided attacking each other in favor of sticking to the issues.
Original Air Time: Wednesday, November 9, 2011 on CNBC
Here is the entire debate in 3 parts from CNBC.

Part 3:
All candidates seemed to escape unscathed, except Texas Governor Rick Perry, who failed in answering the question of what government agencies he would cut should he assume the Presidency. Report from The Daily Caller:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the one-time Republican front-runner who saw his star fade after a series of shabby debate performances, made yet another unforced error during Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate.
While selling his tax plan and his record in Texas, Perry said three government agencies would be eliminated in a Perry presidency. “I will tell you, it’s three agencies of government, when I get there, that are gone,” he said. “Commerce, education, and the, um, what’s the third one there …”
Perry then trailed off, unable to remember the third agency he would eliminate. Amid audience laughter, another candidate volunteered the idea of axing the Environmental Protection Agency.
“Is the EPA the one you were talking about?” moderator John Harwood asked Perry. “No sir,” Perry replied. “We were talking about the agencies of government — the EPA needs to be rebuilt, there’s no doubt about that.”
“But you can’t name a third one?” Harwood asked again. Perry then stalled for a few moments before admitting that he could not, in fact, recall the name of the third agency he would eliminate as president.
“The third one I can’t,” Perry said, smiling. “Oops.”
The remaining candidates all came off fairly well, no glaring flubs or undesirable exchanges.

I love how common sense recognized by Conservatives just puts liberal media in it's place.
This is why liberals resort to jokes and bashing, because when they give Conservatives a fair word, they get schooled.
America and the world is on the precipice of a crash that has never been seen in recorded history. The upcoming election's importance is like none other. A defined plan to correct the course America is on is the only way to mitigate the crushing effects and suffering America will experience in a world-wide crash. In times like these a leader with a sound plan who will not compromise is the only option and we all recognize who that candidate is. Why?
Ron Paul's plan is sound, demonstrated by the current candidates themselves, without exception every republican candidate has co-opted Ron Paul's plan and offer it as their solution, yet without exception they tweak Paul's plan according to their base, personal religious views and the voters they want to sway to their camp.
It is far too late for that.
That's not fair to say that Perry couldn't answer what the 3 agencies he would cut were because he did say what the 3rd one was next time he had a chance to speak.
rEVOLution!!
As you can see from this debate and all the debates that have been held in the past. The two most educated candidates and the ones that have been there done that and kept up with their homework are Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. And they aren't afraid to be bold in the real way. I say Ron Paul for president and Gingrich for Vice President.
There is a very important and fundamental difference between Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, it's crucial to know what it is.
Know where your candidate Stands.

Thank you for this website and listing the debating videos all in one place. I am in England and cannot see any of this live so it is nice to be able to see a schedule (there are so many debates!) and watch them all.
Ron Paul said exactly the same things as he is now in 2008 and everyone called him Crazy.
Now everyone is saying pretty much the same thing as Ron Paul and people are still calling him crazy.
True serious cuts are required and its gonna be painful…… and necessary
Let me quickly add to these well meaning comments I have read. First, I’m a democrat, so you know who I will vote next election President Obama. I did want to give you a chance and see if any of these candidates offers Americans any hope for the future; I did this fairly by looking at the debate in its entirety. I must say that after looking at this dreadful debate that if that is all they have to offer, well may god help the USA. I’m also saddened by the comments, showing lack of integrity and not so intelligent ones. I can also see that some of you have agendas that are not worthy, but rather talking points from the very candidates you are supporting; I can also see some of you may work for candidates and have been asked to do these posting. Any way, yes I’m to your left and very liberal, but also honest and laden with integrity something is lacking in all of your comments.
These candidates are a joke. It was like watching a circus act. The only candidate with practical ideas is John Huntsman. Otherwise, the rest are living in lala land.

I thought Ron Paul won the debate hands down. He is the only one who seems to ever know what is actually going on in the room. He knows his history, he knows his legislation, and he is consistent. He answers the questions head on and does not waste time either criticizing another candidate or throwing mud.He answers with knowledge and solutions.
God help us if any of these idiots and liars gets into the White House.

They should let Cain go over his "999" plan. They laugh about it when he starts to talk about it but he doesn't get to elaborate on it. Ron Paul seems to understand more about what it takes to be President. Also Perry should have more of a chance. Sure its not good he forgot the third agency but he does make some very specific points and he is still my vote.
Did Herman Cain just make the declaration that he was the only candidate with a BOLD plan?
Does he or anybody else understand what Ron Paul is actually proposing (let alone, talking about)?
I ask this rhetorically because it seems to me that: Ron Paul has CLEARLY AND BY FAR, THE MOST AMBITIOUS AND YES — BOLD PLAN ON THE TABLE TODAY!!!
I might even venture to speculate that his (Ron Paul's) ideas; his convictions are no less BOLD than the visions and plans of our founding fathers.
