Johnson - see ya!

11 million here illegally? That's far too low! And against a border wall? Goodbye.

“I don’t know if I’d throw that kind of language around with Herman Cain.”

I quite agree. HC is a VERY intelligent man with exceptional oratory ability to articulate his thoughts and (conservative) values.

Johnson is digging a whole
Cain rising
Santorum holding his own.
Paul already buried
Pawlenty dog paddling

Cain is knocking them out of the park tonight. I’m incredibly impressed.

Same here. I've not paid him any attention. He is a pleasant surprise.

I bet that I strongly agree with Herman Cain on every issue. The more I see him, the more I like him.

Cain supported TARP and he supports not releasing the OBL pic.

I like Cain but I don't strongly agree with him on every issue.

Pawlenty just called the UN “pathetic”. Bravo!

Herman Cain: no teleprompter needed.

LOLing that today it came out that Baraq has a $100,000 teleprompter consultant contract.

Pawlenty admitted he was wrong on global warming. His issue is, coming from Minnesota, the ethanol pandering.

Cain says Obama has no clear policy on Libya.

Pawlenty asked about Libya. Takes credit for the 'no-fly zone', says Obama took too long and gave up power to UN. When Obama said Gaddafi had to go he should've made it happen.

Santorum asked about Pakistan. Threaten to take away the aid. Wants to engage. When challenged, starts spinning.

Cain asked about AZ SB1070 immigration law. Says AZ didn't go too far. Paul said it's dangerous. Said we don't need a new immigration system. Santorum asked about alienating hispanic voters. Santorum mentions father's immigration. Teaching English. Doesn't answer the question posed. Johnson asked about an "amnesty grace period." He claims illegal immigration creates jobs. Wants a guest worker program. No citizenship just a background check and Social Security card for tax purposes.

Good to see Paul and Johnson splitting the lib' vote.

Rush Limbaugh said “Cain has all his eggs in one basket” and he is Coulter’s 2nd choice with Christie being her first. However, I watched Cain, read his bio, views and really do think he is the clear winner of this bunch.

Paul says Israel is too dependent on the U.S. They can't act in their own interests because they have to ask us for permission. Says if they want to attack Iran we should stay out of it.

Johnson asked about Trump's idea of tariffs on China. He's opposed to tariffs of any kind on any one.

When? just the fact he went along with it and America is paying for it today is enough for me.

Good luck finding a candidate that agrees with everything you want. Weigh the most important againsts against the most important fors...and then you get your guy (or gal)

I don't listen to Rush often, so I don't understand what Rush means by that.

Are you a big fan of gun control?

Christie is not a good choice.

Paul, West, Palin and Cain are our best hope.
