Looks like the AP nearly wrote Hunter completely out of the synopsis. But what do we expect from The Most Dangerous News Organization in America?

LET THE SPIN BEGIN!

Bill Bennett spilling the beans on Hillary’s plant! Ha!

[HAL9000]

As far as Iowa is concerned, Huckabee is the winner tonight. He's in position to sail past Romney.

I'm getting worried about Fred. His campaign is being badly mismanaged, and his appearance tonight reminded me of Nixon in 1960 - bad makeup, bad lighting, etc.

They did run the terrorist sympahtizer’s question.

“WINNERS: Thompson, Hunter, Paul, Tancredo, Huckabee

DRAW: Mitt

LOSERS: Giuliani, McCain

Hope you are right. I missed it.

[NYC Republican]

BINGO!!! Exactly

[floriduh voter]

Okay. At first I thought those were all from tonight. Now, they’re saying the gay retired military was from HILARY’S CAMP. Per Bill Bennett CNN.

[Porterville]

Bennet stated that a Hillary plant

Bill Bennet just revealed that the gay general is part of Hillary Clinton’s gay steering committee. “It should have been disclosed,” said Bennet right there on CNN.

[Chuck54]

Bill Bennett just let the cat out of the bag on the gay guy.

Anderson is lying through his teeth saying he didn’t know the gay was on hill’s steering committee.

[Biblebelter]

McCain emoted just like a Dem tonite. He uses the emotion ploy to suck in the politically ignorant. He did not do well tonite unless you like his constant appeal to the emotional level, such as on his waterboard torture issue, or his I visited the troops mantra.

McCain has a Republican voting record. He does not have to manufacture a Republican past like Mitt and Julie Annie. McCain's weaknesses are his age, his temperament, the Keating Five, the campaign finance reform debacle, and more importantly to the here and now, his stance on illegal immigration. But with all that baggage he will get a bump because, he forcefully presented himself and MSM have a soft spot in the heart for him.

[jmyrlefuller]

My bad... that was the CNN synopsis, not the AP.

That being said, I expect the AP analysis to follow suit.

[pillut48]

And Anderson spinning like a top—we did NOT know that, and it certainly will be investigated—double ha!!

“I’d like to know why Jews vote (predominantly) ‘Rat, as well.”

If you have an afternoon to kill, shoot me a PM and I will try to explain it to you.

I am a traditional Brooklyn Jew whose parents were Democrats.

RP was in rare form tonite....managed to bring in the Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bildergerg's, etc., etc., and got rousing applause from the planted nutcases in the audience.

He is at his best when he doesn't get to answer any questions!

[hocndoc]

May the Lord find His people in prayer for our Nation tonight.

[floriduh voter]

Duncan Hunter did very well tonight.

[mnehring]

What a load of C***, CNN doesn’t even have Fred on their poll, they replaced him with Tommy Thompson.

[Miss Didi]

Clem, I repeat—I lived and worked in Italy for years. It was hardly a tourist trip. But then you seem to know it all so...di nuovo, buona notte!

[MOgirl]

Hello,

What a waste of time. Yes, we got to see Rudy and Mitt tangle. Rudy lied right off the bat. Mitt just flips and flops. (Kinda like Rudy.) And, McCain got to get in his two cents (which is about all it is worth). And Ron Paul got more opportunities to talk than damn near anyone, how annoying is he?

Fred got a front and close to center place and got next to no opportunities to talk, and now you tell me he is not even in the flippin CNN poll.
