Fred seems to be the only one that knows the details of the Dubai/NASDAQ purchase.

And that doesn't surprise me one bit. FDT has always been wide awake where foreign affairs are concerned. One may not agree with him 100% but he sure is on the ball.

Overall, I like what I'm hearing from FDT.

And he nails it. Fred definitely sounded more confident with that answer.

In all, he seems well prepared and knowledgable, though his delivery was a bit shaky during some of the questions.

No home runs, but base hits.

I think Thompson sounds good. He was dead on that a 20 year old Soldier has a better idea of foriegn policy than a 29 year veteran in Government.

FRED: "I'm amazed that a 20 year old coming back from Iraq understands what we're doing there and why better than a politician that's been on the hill for 20 years."

Or words to that effect.

Damn. Ron Paul sounds like a shrill nag. What do people see in this annoying fool?

McCain gave a solid answer as well...except for Ron Paul, this kind of question is a good softball for the candidates to swat..contrasts against the Democrats well..!

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

...so Hunter gets a boost to 3 or 4 in polls??? No way. 99% of voters don’t know who Hunter is and won’t know who is he is. Agree he is a very sound voice, but let’s deal in reality here...no way he gets the nomination or comes anywhere close.

Folks, we better get our act together or say hello to Madame President. This crop of GOP candidates is thin at best.

Ron Paul: “neo-colonialism”

well, it’s not “neo-con”, but probably still drink-worthy ;-p

I think RuPaul has only been asked one question.

And his response was typically loony.
