1 minute response limit - turns it into the Brett Bair Show with.... the candidates who can provide best slick ‘sound bites. No time for thoughtful answers.

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

Palin’s my candidate, but Bachmann has got great poise and presence. And yes, she dresses the part.

Jon Huntsman claims Utah is 1st state in jobs under him.

Does not seem to be true.
Data below for 2010 show Utah is good but not best
with error bars going back to 1976 for comparison

I use Valerian tea....one Valerian Tea bag in about 1/2 cup boiled water (I nuke it). ..sound asleep.

Valerian is a natural herb, like mint or Camomille, and there is no hangove I used to have with mealtonin.

an alternative is also 2 large Turkey legs ( from the Seinfeld episode)..ha.

Huntsman asked where his plans are. Deflects. Talking about Utah record.

Newt asked about divided government. Mentioned accomplishments as Speaker vs Clinton and Reagan accomplishments with divided government. Policy wonk answers.

Pawlenty asked about his growth target. Offers to cook dinner or lawn mow for someone who can find Obama's specific plans. Attacks Romney saying if he 'won' he'd limit mowing his place to 1 acre.

Yep. Funny thing is during his 6pm show the panel complained about candidates just giving soundbites and not detailed answers. Well geez how detailed can you get in 1 minute?

Oh no he didn’t (Pawlenty mowing only one acre of Romney’s lawn)

He would make a good cabinet official, but I don't trust him as president.

That bell drives my dogs nuts (same as the one in our house). Four times now they are attacking the front door.

I will have to put them in the other room to watch the Eagles vs Ravens game.

Newt - the only one here who seems to understand GOING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE and putting pressure on Congress to get things done.

Newt had his chance in the 90's and BLEW IT. He should be helping Palin when she becomes a candidate.

Pawlenty trying to make up for not attacking Romney last time with a gratuitous (and stupid) class warfare attack this time; pathetic. You're done Pawlenty.
