The Republican presidential candidates will debate tonight on CNN at 8:30 p.m. ET. \u00a0The event will be held in Florida, whose primary on March 15 may be decisive.<\/p>\n

On that day Florida will hold a winner-take-all contest <\/a>for its whopping 99 delegates. \u00a0On the same day Ohio will give the winner all of its 66 delegates. \u00a0If Marco Rubio cannot carry his home state, and if John Kasich cannot carry his home state, they are finished. \u00a0If Donald Trump carries both of them, he may be impossible to stop.<\/p>\n

So at stake in tonight\u2019s debate: \u00a0Can Cruz solidify his stature as the only alternative to Trump? \u00a0Or can Rubio make a run?<\/p>\n

Here is the delegate count<\/a> so far: \u00a0Trump, 458; Cruz, 359; Rubio, 151; Kasich, 54.<\/p>\n

\n

Among the Democrats: \u00a0Clinton, 1251 (760 from voters; 421 from super-delegates); Sanders 571 (546 from voters, 25 from super-delegates).<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t liveblog about the debates\u2013I\u2019m in Denmark!\u2013but feel free to comment on the action, but during and afterwards.<\/p>\n
