Tonight's debate is a great example of the GOP herd thinning itself out by attrition.

Yes it is, and I think FOX missed a great opportunity to have Jerry Springer ask the questions instead of the dimwits they actually used.

[onyx]

Yep and she shall once she announces!

Huntsman asked about waivers on No Child Left Behind. Huntsman would abandon NCLB. Vouchers, technology, local control.

(Lost the feed when Cain was asked the same question.)

Huntsman supported the Boehner deal against default.

Candidates wrapping up.

[BunnySlippers]

I think they’re like Howard Stern’s “Baba Booey” brigade.

Good closing comments by Cain.

-- But I wouldn't mind if she waited till the first of the year, if that's what her team thinks is wise. --

Or even longer. The election is 14 months off, she could wait until it was 6 months off, and have time to make her point. Why submit to the "establishment timecycle"?

[KevinDavis]

Right.. The fact is the business cycle always has its ups and downs..

[luvie]

Zero would be burnt toast (no racism intended :) ) but Newt will be better served by helping the others with their debating skills. :)

He IS a pro at it!....and knows history backward and forward.

[EmilyGeiger]

Felt bad for Santorum tho, they didn’t give him fair time.

[LostInBayport]

Cain is the only one who improved his standing in my eyes tonight (except Newt, but I won’t consider him as the nominee).

[Robwin]

I’m not sure who “won” tonight but I do know this: Freepers your enemy was nowhere on that podium tonight. He’s in Washington and his name is Barack Obama.

[AnnGora]

Look at it this way: if Fox hosts a Democrat debate, think of the entertainment with these kinds of questions!

[SUSSA]

Huntsman is the worst of everyone in the race.

[CitizenM]

Good closing comments by Cain

He is a man of few words, but well chosen and straight forward. As most successful administrators who inspire confidence.

[tsowellfan]

I agree. Sarah Palin is very smart and knows what she’s doing. Because of that, I doubt she’s going to be running.

Remember the pounding Al Gore got for trying to limit the number of debates out of fears that he may make more gaffes?

[lwd]

Yep, that was the reality of the situation..

[jacknhoo]

These idiots who keep saying Obama doesn’t know what to do to help our economy...he not trying to help our economy, he’s trying to destroy it and the nation it belongs to.

[onyx]

I concur.

God speed to all the candidates, including Ron Paul.

Obama has the *Youth* vote.....Why because he can brainwash them...Destroy the *Family* and you can brainwash the youth who will be the generation of tomorrow.....

Obama had the "youth" vote in 2008. McCain wasn't going to get the youth vote anyway -- which doesn't mean a Republican can't get it.

But Obama doesn't have it now. Millions who voted in 2008 probably won't show up in 2012.

And the proportion of conservative youths who will show up next November will be much higher. I wouldn't write off the "youth vote", just yet.

Perry's fine. I could vote for Perry. I could vote for Palin. I will vote for whoever wins the nomination.
