Newt was clear winner, no question.
LOL! Romney won?? C’mon Andrea. Wake up and smell the coffee!
AH that explains it
Pushing Romney onto us...
I really wish FNC would quit letting Wallace moderate debates. His bias is obvious.
That’s how I saw it.
Yet, the Fox News online crew (Not Me!) is saying that Romney won, Bachmann lost, and Perry will be the biggest challenge to Romney.
Of course RomneyCare looked “Presidential” he only had a few light challenges.
Romney=another empty suit
The MSM would love that! Ugh
The fact that Romney was so bland and boring didn’t help him any.
I'll look forward to reading your mia culpa one of these days.

winner of Debate 1: Herman Cain
winner of Debate 2: Michelle Bachmann
winner of Debate 3 (tonight): Newt Gingrich *
* and I say that as a Newt critic. A Republican adulterer, a climate change believer, a globalist like Newt cannot win the presidency. But dang, he’s good in debates.
Biggest losers: Tim Pawlenty and FoxNews
Newt was on fire.
“... she could wait until it was 6 months off, and have time to make her point. Why submit to the “establishment timecycle”?”
Because 6 months before the election, in May, the primaries are all but over. The delegates to the party conventions will have been chosen. By then one candidate will have a clear lead if not majority of delegate votes adequate to win the nomination. Running as an Independent has yet to work for anyone.
Right now most of the big names and big money are waiting for the final announcements. The wait is going to end very soon. There is, from a practical standpoint, little wait time left.
“She is a Democrat strategist.”
Huh? Someone better tell Newsmax.
Bachmann and Palin won tonight, IMHO.
Big Winners
Newt Gingrich
Runner up: Herman Cain
Big Losers
Tim Pawlenty
Runner up: (tie) Ron Paul and Mitt Romney
Now it's time to go out and get an artery clogger
Newt seemed to be far and away the best to me. Unfortunately he’s just not reliable.
The rest all lumped into the also-ran level or total jokes.
yes. chipmunk is a liberal like his daddy mike wallace.
It wasn’t just the bias....it was the saddest excuse of questions.......Americans are taking this seriously, yet we get the submissive wife question? What a lot of hooey. I was disappointed in FOX’s performance.
I enjoyed seeing and hearing Newt school Brett on his lousy questions.
