Cain has handled every question well. Over all he has remained clear, concise, and calm. Good qualities.

Romney asked about gay marriage. Calls for marriage amendment (one man/one woman).

Huntsman keeps saying "record, record, record." Says "civil unions" about equality and beneficiary rights. Says the states should be making the decisions. Supports traditional marriage but wants subordinate civil union rights.

Romney’s hairy hands bother me. Also mittens is quickly morphing into George Hamilton. Also his dyed hair and white sideburns are creepy.

My husband is really PI**ED about the Fox handling of this....REALLY, REALLY, PI**ED! Says it’s like a tabloid..

He's so right. I saw Bret Baier on O'Reilly before the show, and he said they were going to try to steer the candidates away from talking points. I thought that was good, but the way they are doing it is so Jerry Springer. I have lost a lot of respect for Bret Baier because of this debacle of a debate.

I think Palin, Perry, and Bachmann have done the best so far.

Again, the Islamist have no real capability, they can sting but they can’t kill

That was quite some sting on September 11th.

They will get nukes at some point and they want us dead.

Prepped for the question. Would have been foolish not to have.

Maybe Michelle should have demanded the same question be asked of all the men.

I still can't believe York asked her such an awful question.

Paul is wrong in Islamic terrorists. Suicidal warriors are the most dangerous. Especially if they get nukes. He also claimed that Al Qaeda were not in Iraq. Al Qaeda had training camps in Iraq

More importantly, Iraq was the chosen battlefield to smoke out AQ and it worked. The alternative would be having our troops chasing them in every hell hole in the Mideast and beyond.

Hair and Tan should always be the determining factor in deciding who to vote for

Palin will bring a landslide victory to the Repubs and that’s what both establishments fear.

Perry and Palin not being there makes one wonder what they are afraid of, by their being so evasive. They’ve lost a lot of respect and we need people who don’t duck out and run from confrontation. We need a leader not a runner.

They're making fun of him. They're using him for entertainment.
