It’s back to the Sunshine State for another GOP battle in tonight’s FoxNews/Google debate.

So what’s on tap? Romney may have given us a clue, already taking a swipe at Perry’s recent suggestion that Social Security control should be left to the states, after previously referring to the program as unconstitutional. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough is fired up...

“You sat down, you thought about it, you wrote it in a book, they edited that book, they sent the book back to you, you read it again, you sent it back to them, it was published, you went on a book tour, you promoted that idea, this is in the core of your fabric that social security is unconstitutional and now you want to reform something that’s unconstitutional?”

So does Social Security dominate tonight’s debate? Politico predicts yay, writing...

“The former Massachusetts governor showed no sign that he’ll let up on his Social Security slams on Perry, as he read aloud at a town hall meeting six questions his campaign had prepared about the Texas governor’s thoughts on the topic. Already the best debater on the stage, Romney will have his lines teed up.”

According to CBS News, location will also be a key factor in tonight’s topics, reporting...

“...with leaders in Washington debating how to shrink the nation's deficit, the future of entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare has the potential to be a major flashpoint in a state with a high number of retirees. In fact, in the 2008 Republican primary, 44 percent of voters were 60 or older.”

In the leadup to tonight’s Fox News/Google debate, it appears to be Rick Perry that’s getting the “plus”. The Los Angeles Times writes...

“The Quinnipiac University survey shows Perry leading former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 28%-22%, if former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is included...In a sample without Palin, registered Republican voters prefer Perry, 31%-22%. In neither sample, no other candidate registers in double digits.”

A new poll from McClatchy-Marist says President Obama is losing ground against the GOP Candidates -- Fox News Contributor Tucker Carlson claims it’s shifting the President’s politics.

“This is a disaster, Obama in the face of this loss of support among independents, is moving left, which is a remarkably out of touch, it seems to me, campaign strategy.”

So which Republican would do best against President Obama? The McClatchy-Marist Poll found it’s one who isn’t even running yet -- Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.  The debate kicks off tonight at 9 Eastern on Fox News.
