[Old Retired Army Guy]

Loved the Huckabee smack down of Ron Paul.

[The Forgotten Man]

You can’t run for potus of New York City, right now I am leaning Thompson/Hunter. But, we are 15 months out, the real dream would be Newt at the helm....

[Shimmer128]

I can’t endorse a Democrat-lite just because it would also be something to see him bitch-slap some old-guard RINO’s.
Like Bush, he’d probably be great at foreign relations and abyssmal at domestic ones.

Our country is facing destruction from TWO fronts and we can’t afford to ignore eithre one. The illegal invasion is no less critical against our national sovereignty and survival. AND GUILIANI FAILS THAT TEST!

[TommyDale]

Rudy Giuliani’s continuous answer was “What I did in New York...”

The rest of America doesn’t really CARE about what he did in New York. Most of the GOP base wants a conservative, and Rudy doesn’t fit the bill. His numbers may not be declining yet, but they also aren’t going up. Think about that.

[Liberty Valance]

Thompson blew 'em off the stage. He was talking to Republicans AND Democrats.

[Plains Drifter]

Thompson gets our vote and money!

[Havok]

Im with Fred.

As to the most popular...

Guliani is a liberal.
McCain is an old fool.
Mitt- Dont even get me started. I lived in MA during most of his reign.

FRED
FRED
FRED!

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

At this point, while I was in love with Fred!, I think Guliani is the man. He has a track record. If we had a sea of new-blood GOP in congress, it would be a great combo. It would also be something to see him bitch-slap some old-guard RINO's. I hope that Thompson can turn his act around. In theory, he may be the best candidate from a conservative point of view.

A Larry Craig/Mark Foley conservative?

You need a reality check...

[Greg F]

I thought Brownback and Tancredo were the clear losers in last nights debate. I like Tancredo because he is so strong on border security, but I don’t think he is ready for prime time and at 62 I’m not sure he will ever be Presidential material. Make a heckuva whip though if he’s respected on the Hill . . .

Brownback I don’t like because of his flip-flops on the amnesty bill. He is not clear or articulate.

I always like Hunter (he’s my candidate at this point), but FOX interviewed him post debate last at close to mid-night. That said, I’m always amazed at Hunter. He doesn’t get flustered and is specific and on-point to even tough questions. Really a remarkable speaker and political thinker, particularly on national security and border security.

Romney was first in the post debate interviews on FOX, so even after a terrible performance Romney maximized exposure. That said Romney hurt his chances last night and it’s hard to substitute a great campaign for a great candidate in the primary process where people are looking for who they really believe in.

Thompson’s Tonight Show announcement was anti-climactic and weaker than the floated “Grand Old Opry” announcement would have been. He isn’t going to win California anyway, why announce in a way that doesn’t hit his base as strongly as another type of announcement? He’d have been better off getting in the back of his red pickup and announcing a major press conference and rally in his home town.

Guilianni, McCain, and Huckabee improved their chances in my opinion. Which is not making me happy!

[Sybeck1]

So just when will the Democrats be asked about immigration or abortion?

I just hate the guys don’t get equal time. I don’t want to watch the Rudy McCain Romney show.

[Just another Joe]

Sorry, I can't support Rudy.
He is nothing but a liberal, in conservative clothing, hawk.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Morning After,-Who will you vote for?

I'm sticking with None Of The Above.

[takenoprisoner]

Is there an update to the fox poll which last night had RP winning the debate by a double margin?

[Doc Savage]

This is insane. The general election is 14 months from now. If this country had even a "mole" of intelligence it would not allow any candacies until Jan 1, 2008; second, it would have a ONE day National Primary. This insane undermining of a sitting President 2 years before his term ends is ridiculous.

Which brings me to my second point. The Republican Party has outlived it's purpose and usefullnes,...it needs to be disbanded. What we need is a Conservative Party based on strong conservative values. I have NO use for people like Arlen Spector. The same RINOs and CINOs year after year.

Defeat the Democrats and the Republicans. They represent the VERY WORST this country has to offer! I hope they both self-destruct!!

[longtermmemmory]

Guiliani was the same over makeuped joke last night.

This is just camp Guiliani attack Thompson viral tactics.

[wolfinator]

If I vote today, for me, it’s a toss-up between McCain or Giuliani.

[sitetest]

I’m supporting Sen. Thompson. I sent him my next campaign contribution this morning. I hope that more will be forthcoming.

[dragonblustar]

I support Tancredo, Thompson and then maybe Hunter.

I will never vote for Rudy or Mitt.

Mitt comes over slick and phony. I have a problem with Rudy’s personal life. I wouldn’t vote for Clinton, I won’t vote for Rudy.

Ron Paul acts like a democrat and I don't trust him to protect the country.

Although I don’t like Tancredo’s stand on international affairs, he’s the only one willing to stand against illegal invasion from Mexico. To me, that is the second war on terror.

[carjic]

I went into the debate liking Romney, but came out liking Hucabee. Romney’s answers were horrible and Hucabee’s were perfect. I had not even given Hucabee a glance until last night. I have not read were anyone else agrees with me however. I thought he was the clear winner last night. I will study up more on him.

[ZULU]

Hunter first, Thompson second, Tancredo third.

Huckabee lost me over his idiotic statements about Washington, D.C. being represented in Congress.
