Reagan Library Republican Presidential Debate: January 30, 2008 (Official Thread)

CNN ^ | January 30, 2008

[Cedric]

At some point (perhaps tonight) Romney has got to push McCain’s buttons and make him “go off”.

[Beagle8U]

I expect every question tonight to be designed to play to every Romney weakness.

The MSM smells blood and they will take out Romney tonight.

[MrChips]

Bless you. More prayers for Romney here. Keep praying.

[TheLion]

Right on!

[DoughtyOne]

Sniff... sniff.. I feel your pain.

Can’t tell you how my heart bleeds for you.

[supercat]

Any Chicago-area broadcast (not cable/satellite) coverage?

[torchthemummy]

Romney needs to mention McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman and most importantly, Kerry-McCain. It is the Kerry-McCain that could possibly light up McCain.

Also important to somehow communicate the interference Huck is running for McCain.

Also notice how CNN will try to ask questions ro McCain’s strengths and to Romney’s recieved weaknesses.

[Azzurri]

Top ten things Romney needs to talk about to win tonight and turn around the election:

1. Illegal immigration
2. Illegals receiving tax “rebates”
3. Illegal immigration
4. Illegal immigration
5. Congratulate McCain on receiving Susan Estrich’s endorsement
6. Illegal immigration
7. Remind people McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts
8. Illegal immigration
9. Build the fence, deport illegals
10. Illegal immigration

[DoughtyOne]

...voting for McCain and Romney won’t help the enemy?

Are you that clueless?

[Bender2]

Re: The GOP and Democrats are just as much to blame for the illegal mess as McInsane.

W has virtually stopped fining employers who hire illegals.

National identity card legislation, which could solve the illegal problem overnight, has been deep sixed by both parties.

Thanks, Rome, that's real politic--

But the answer is not to elect Liberal Democrats. That is sure defeat. I still think half a loaf if better than no loaf at all.

And principles be damned, even 4 years of Mac is better than 4 of Billary or Obama. Mac will want to be reelected and will toe the line where Billary/Obama will have no reason to.

“I think its time to stop the Ron Paul bashing...”

Crow , is an aquired taste..

[SE Mom]

That is my fervent hope.

[MrChips]

And David slew Goliath with a single stone . . . .

[big'ol_freeper]

I can vote for any of the RINOs if it means defeating the former first co-dependent. Some will just require a few more beers than others before stepping into the voting booth.

[Rome2000]

got it?

Boy, I would hate to have to come home to that mouth after a hard days work.

Xanax is our friend.

[Apple Blossom]

Mitt needs a few knockdowns tonight.

...and a few home runs out of the park.

McCain only won by a measly 5% people, not such a huge amount that it can't be overcome. Is anyone going to mention the shady voting practices in a few key counties in Florida? Is anyone going to challenge the outcome? 57 delegates ARE at stake!

[Cedric]

Legend has it that it’s, oh, so easy to do.

[Freee-dame]

Is than an actual ex-AF1 in the debate hangar

It's the real thing and very impressive. It had to be broken into parts to be trucked up the very winding road that leads up to the Reagan Library.

[tapatio]

Good evening everyone!

[MrChips]

What shady activities? I have not heard.
