"With the stage down to four candidates, each man will get plenty of time to talk and to take on his rivals for the nomination. But the spotlight may shine a bit brighter on the two men in the middle, Romney and Gingrich.%% Gingrich had rave reviews from his performance in Monday night's showdown, when he repeatedly went after Romney. Will he have an encore performance?
"Gingrich has all the charm and warmth of a chainsaw but right now, Republicans want to cut Washington to ribbons," said Alex Castellanos, a GOP strategist and CNN contributor. "In this debate we'll see how far he's willing to go. Is he willing to cut his own party to shreds to win?"
As for Romney, with his numbers slipping, a strong performance is a must.
"Debates are alpha dog battles, tests of strength and leadership. Romney's passive and defensive performance earlier this week can't be followed by a similar performance. He's going to be tested on the tax issue and needs to show strength, stability and presidential steel," said Castellanos, who was a top media adviser for Romney's 2008 nomination bid but who is not taking sides this cycle."
