If you didn't watch the Cain/Gingrich debate at least watch the last 30 seconds. These two are friends competing for the same office but above everything else, they are truly friends. You won't expect the last question. Newt didn't expect the last question and both of them almost fell off their chairs laughing.
One of the most meaningful moments came at 81:34 after the debate had ended. Mr. Cain got up, started to move toward Newt then turned and put his chair back in place at the table. At that moment I am sure he thought of his Mom.
Well, now we know, you don’t get one, you get both. Great move by Cain and Newt. Romney should be rightly terrified of this pair. They are like a couple of brothers, one covering the others back.
it was excellent.
the tea party showed the msm what a debate should be.
Thing that gives one hope for 2012 after last night is the realization there are still thinking adults left in US Politics.
Bump for later
I watched it last night and also loved the last 30 or so seconds. Didn’t expect that but enjoyed it.
Also enjoyed the story about the electronics vs. paperwork with the ATM 7,000 miles away. Also the story about tracking a UPS or FedEX package vs. our tracking who is suppose to be in this country and who isn’t. Common sense break down into the most simple terms for our simple minded “hopey changey” voters is what is needed on the airwaves for the next 12 months. I really like Newt. I don’t care about his two ex-wives, he is the most brilliant person we have running.
Another interesting moment was before the two candidates actually started speaking they appeared to be passing friendly strategy notes.
Third: Steve King, who is a good conservative and who I'm glad is in Congress, is an absolute bore and had no business in that forum.
C.L.A.S.S.
I hope Gingrich and Cain refuse to play by the rules from now on. Do what they all should do: ignore the "answer to the question"(since the question will inevitably be booby-trapped) and just tell the Nation what you want them to hear from you on whatever the subject is.
The "moderators" will fume but so what--they are bound to be nothing but media whores and scoundrels anyway.
They should have called it the Lincoln-Lincoln debate.
Great format for a couple smart dudes.
I’d love to compare Cain/Newt’s college grades with Obama/Biden’s.
I also noticed when he put his chair back to the table. “Actions speak louder than Words”, His actions tell me all I need to know, he is respectful and well mannered.I think he did this at the round table debate earlier this year too.
From watching this, Herman Cain gets my vote because of what he said about vote fraud - that the people who
object to voter identification do so because they want to cheat. He is first one I’ve heard point this out. Hoorah for Herman Vain!
LOL! That was great!
I could have sworn that I heard Cain say to Newt "The mic is still live," as they got up from the table. :-)
