I guess, its a mystery to me musts be name recog. I don’t know what else. Every appearance I have ever seen Hunter do he excels to new highs.

[traditional1]

FRed started slow, but with the MSM on his every word, he moved forward.

None of the candidates impressed me with their canned same ol'/same ol', and trying to see who could convince un-decided joe six-packs, I still see FRed as the one who can connect between now and November.

Where the unknowns are concerned in this group, they will remain so.

mark this post right now 4:28.

Debate win goes to Romney and Hunter.
Thompson’s popularity plummets, falls to 3 or 4 in polls
Hunter gets boost to 3 or 4 in polls

“I like Hunter a lot, but he is coming off as very angry.”

Hunter is serious, not angry.

[JFC]

Matthews has really been towing the line the past 30 minutes, but he will cut loose on them tonight.

[The Pack Knight]

Hunter may seem angry, but I have to admit he wears angry better than Paul does.

Commercial break...that was a really fast paced 40 minutes...not boring at all and Matthews has not let fly a single gotcha question...I am in shock at this point..

I bet you’re embarrassed watching the debate, aren’t you?

Is that all there is?? hee hee

[SoCalPol]

little traction. I really don’t understand it at all.

Media isn’t going to highlight a Conservative with the facts.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Mitt is a native of Michigan.

I feel the same way about California.

[eeevil conservative]

Hey there UPS!!!

;-)

[jennyjenny]

Paul is a nut.

[angelcindy]

Dunked it!!!

[Brices Crossroads]

Fred’s answer=HOME RUN!!!!

“You shouldn’t confuse the wealth
of nations with the wealth of government”

[traditional1]

"I notice that Fred’s suit jacket doesn’t fit him around the neck.."

Wow. That should disqualify him for public office of ANY kind immediately.

He needs the Romney-coifed-look!

LOL

Amazing it’s the first time I heard about Dubui shipping nuclear triggers to an annonymous Islamabad source.

Dubai seems to be a whole different world than much of the rest of the mid-East.

[Huck]

Fred’s a snoozer, for sure. Like most actors.
