• “Your money, your vote”: We’re thrilled to be covering tonight’s GOP presidential debate, coming from Oakland University in Michigan. This one is being presented by CNBC, and is purported to be about jobs, economics, and fiscal issues. (Follow along at our CNBC Debate tag.) However, with one of the two contenders pictured above fighting off a slew of increasingly damaging sexual harassment claims, it’s anybody’s guess what the tone of this debate will be. Especially considering Mitt Romney, the man who stands to retain frontrunner status if Cain falters, has employed a somewhat hands-off approach in prior debates. Smelling some blood in the water, will Mitt attack or hang back?

• All of our debate coverage tonight is in collaboration with the fine team over at DC Decoder; we’ll also be participating in some proper, moment-to-moment live-blogging with them, along with InOtherNews, Ilya Gerner, EvilTeaBagger, PantlessProgressive, and The Motley Fool’s Morgan Housel. A dynamite panel if ever there was one! Thanks to all for participating, and we hope you’ll join us for what figures to be an engaging Wednesday night debate.
