There are only two people in this debate that I would trust to do what they say and those two people are....Paul and Bachman! I voted for Romney in primary in PA in 2008 because I thought he was the one person who would be great with the economy. I have found out a lot more since then and I would not support him in the primary this time. About Sarah...although I love her...where is she? She can’t keep waiting to announce! By the way...I never thought I WOULD even consider Paul but I am so disgusted with the Republicans and the way the country is going that maybe we need someone just like Paul!

Romney is hands down the best at this in terms of presentation. Bachmann is impressive. Everyone else is ho-hum, with the exception of Pawlenty, who looks like an ass and Huntsman who looks like a deer in the headlines.

“It’s too bad Newt’s a tool....debate-wise, he would clean Barry’s Austrian-speaking clock.”

True. The only two up there who could stand up consistently against BHO in debate and not get (or seem) rattled are Newt and Cain. Cain’s steadily boning up on any areas he’s been a bit weak on, and he’s excellent, but I’d still have to rate Newt #1 (so far) on debating BHO. And BOTH he and Herman are far superior intellectually to the Wan.

I was thinking the same thing, Red.

It was Bachmann who was there leading WE, the PEOPLE against Obamacare. The fact that it passed was not in any way a lack of leadership on her part.

IMO, Pawlenty lost any chance he had of getting the nomination in two nasty 30 second bites.

RomneyBOT Chris Wallace demeans Newt Gingrich

Gingrich just told Wallace to set aside the gotcha questions. But, Grinch sounds like a whiney ass jerk . . his voice sounds funny, as if he is nervous. But he just ended sounded ending angry!
