THanks!!! Sending it out on email, now.
I watched 30 mins. My observations:
Newt has a beautiful voice. It is a pleasure and easy to listen him.
Cain has cranky voice with pauses in speech.
I know this is superficial, but at least since nixon/kennedy debates, these sort of things matter.
Also, cain ducked at least one question. I’m not sure he is ready yet.
Newt had powerful and simple arguments. If Newt were to reject his global warming and “limited amnesty” bs, I would join Newt bandwagon. Now I’m not sure I trust him.
Thanks for the idea of posting this as it’s own thread
Thanks Guy, using the link.

I quit watching the stupid gotcha’-fest ‘debates’ years ago. Decided that this one sounded different enough to be watchable...and, I was right. It was an interesting ninety something minutes.
After watching and listening to two great Americans, I retired for the night with an optimistic, hopeful belief in the future of our Nation.
Promised myself that I would not check threads posted by FReepers who have lost their sanity during this primary season.
It’s working! I believe Newt and Herman would make an unbeatable ticket - but they are the best judges of their compatibility.
Newt impresses me - not only with his grasp of Constitutional principles, but also with his survival skills - having been decimated by the media and his GOP colleagues.
Herman Cain impresses me because he had the courage to enter the race as a novice politician - guided only by his conscience and a desire to reverse the socialist dependency that is destroying his America.
Good luck to both of them and may America win!!!
Lochangego what isconservative happening in societyyved it! It wasn’t really a debate, more like an airing of what conservative principles look like. Which is whatthe Cain talked about during the debate when he said that CEO’s need to get out there and educate people in order to change what is happening in society.
The Cain pause c’mere when asked about defined benefit. Plans and I also thought the question wasn’t clear. They both did great. LOVED the end when they got to ask each other questions. . . Cain to Newt: “If you were elected VICE PRESIDENT.....” lol
Forever in CSPAN’S Library! Thank you, MNJohnnie!!
BOOKMARKED!
I wonder if Newt is wise enough to take a hard look at his pocketbook, a hard look at his results, and an even harder look at what he is facing with an opponent that he knows will be focusing on racism to win, and just throw in with Cain now.
After this debate, it was clear to me that Cain is signaling to Newt that he wants him on his ticket.
With Newt’s recent rise in the polls, I’m sure at this point he want’s to see some initial primary results before he does anything, and I don’t blame him for that. Despite his RINO tendencies in the past, I’m starting to wonder if he actually learned something while out of elected office after watching this debate.
I would be comfortable with a Cain/Gingrich or Gingrich/Cain ticket, but believe Cain is our best hope at the top.
It was a fantastic hour and a half. Still smiling this morning with hope for the nation. IF we can manage to survive to January ‘13.
I for one, suggest shutting down (all) as in ALL the liberal media sponsored (interefered with...) regular debates, which all end up devolving into liberal media interference and “gotchas”.
And replacing every single one, with this style.
Starting today. Cancel all those already scheduled. Or just do not attend.
Replace the media. Don’t work with them.
Do not offer them aid and comfort. Let them starve, or collect unemployment. Their time is over and done.
Replace them.
Now.
