Bachmann and Cain did well tonight.

I'd love to see the field thinned to Palin, Bachmann, and Cain. Let the others go fish. Then we can pick from the three pro-American conservatives.

That’s pretty close on Newt,sad thing about him is he is so smart he knows the right thing to do but won’t always do it.!!

“How’d those 24,000 emails work out for you, d!psh!t?”

Classy as always from the Palin fanatics. ?s

Cheerios!

It helped that his younger peeps were not in the crowd hooting and hollering

Yep. And it helped this thread that they weren't here doing the same thing. :)

I was pleased with Santorum, Bachmann, Pawlenty and Cain. Newt's a brain, but a personal loser. Romney was weak. Paul's so wrong on foreign policy that he makes my teeth hurt. He'd just as soon get us all killed. He would be a disaster as CinC.

IMO Romney is not keen on running....just nothing else to do and his people want him there. He's such a Manchurian candidate and it completely shows...the democrats have tried to form him into an image favorable to republicans...and he's the darling of the media as well..but his mind left the stage a long time ago.

I missed Bachmann’s early attack on the media. What did she say?

It’s important to attack the media in these debates. It’s NOT just “our Obama problem”... it’s “our LEFTIST problem” and our LEFTIST problem is, first and foremost a stinking lying rotten leftist MEDIA problem.

And somebody BETTER start talking about it, SERIOUSLY talking about it...

... oh wait. Someone IS talking about it. She just wasn’t here tonight. :)

LOL- David Gergen just said that it was “a very good night for Mitt Romney”, that no one really laid a glove on him tonight. Did we watch the same debate?

No one had to lay a glove on him, he beat himself up with his lame performance.

I thought Michelle did well but if you gage the quality of some of Newts answers they are pretty much a head above many of the rest. He is a smart guy but remains unelectable.

Newt is smart and like you said, he doesn't always do the right thing. I don't think he is someone we can trust as president. Do you see him in an advisory capacity? He is very smart.

Ron Paul doesn’t agree with them on state matters.

Where does he disagree with Libertarians on state matters?

Former UN Ambassador Alan Keyes - Maryland (withdrew from Republican Party April 15, 2008).
Former Governor Mike Huckabee - Arkansas (withdrew March 4, 2008).
Former Governor Mitt Romney - Massachusetts (withdrew February 7, 2008).[1]

John King was the worst moderator of any Presidential Debate that I’ve seen.

I would love to see a debate with no Romney, no Pawlenty, no Paul, no Santorum, no Gingrich... and no CNN.

Yep, emit a cloud of ink in the water and hope to escape, like certain marine invertebrates.

Point taken: when your cheap shot at Sarah is forcefully and substantively refuted, you morph into Brave Sir Robin and turn your tail and flee.

My reponse is still far classier than, say, Letterman, Andrew Sullivan, or Bill Maher.

And the more so as you deserve it.

Cheers!

Don’t know what you see in Cain, other than the fact that he is black.

I take it you are a Michelle fan? Could you give it a rest? It is a bit spam like.
