Tonight the gloves might come off in Iowa. Seven GOP candidates will square off in Iowa during the FOX News/Washington Examiner Debate. Texas Governor Rick Perry will not be on stage, but you can expect for his name to be brought up a few times.

The candidates will probably use this debate to grab part of the spotlight and separate themselves from the pack. According to FOX News:

"This is the official opening of the season," said Republican strategist Terry Holt. "It's the debut and you better have your best stuff ready. That raises the stakes."

We will be watching tonight starting at 7:45pm CT, will you?
