different looking debate. can you explain? nikole: fox used four recent polls to determine tonight's stage make up, but mcclatchy -- then you have a major poll it just came out yesterday from mcclatchy.it would have allowed a huckabee and chris christie to stay in that date. still, it has to be a bummer for them. eric: nikole killion, live in washington for us. elizabeth: new stories ahead, we are live downtown with big changes coming to walnut street. what you can look forward to seeing there. what an iowa teacher did in the courtroom minutes after he was sentenced to ten years in prison. and find out why this black friday, the best deals may be found online. eric: and that's a lot of donuts.
