I must confess I would love to see Newt debate the Teleprompter in Chief.

[Tennessee Nana]

I notice Wolf is not long winded as usual

[newzjunkey]

Huntsman asked what he'd do to start jobs in light of Obama's job's plan. He's already putting us to sleep. America is shipwrecked. Lower rates, cut loopholes. ObamaCare, Dodd-Fank.

Perry doesn't take Wolf's bait on taxes and offsetting cuts. Says we spent 800 billion in the first round of stimulus and got 0 jobs. 400 billion this time. He can do the math, half of 0 is still 0. Obama doesn't understand small business or Wall Street.

Bachmann asked about Bush tax cuts not being paid for.

Cain pushing his 9-9-9 plan. 9% income tax, 9% national sales tax, 9% corporate taxes.

Romney praises Texas then slams Perry saying he was dealt four aces, it doesn't make him a good poker player.

Ron Paul running down Texas. Taking on Wolf's question to Bachmann saying you don't "pay" for a tax cut because it's their money.

Newt asked about compromising with Democrats. Said Reagan taught him, "Turn up light on the People so they'll turn the heat up on Congress."

3 debates and Newt hit’s the ball out of the park each time, Never would have thought it, and God help me, he is earning my sincere respect!

[bvw]

Huntsman reminds me of John Edwards. Doesn’t John Ecdwards speak mandarin too? Ton ton boo hah.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Cain always does well. He has the FIRE (in the belly). I can see it.

[rodguy911]

I would love to see everyone up there helping the new govt. in 2012 but obviously on a few will be at the top and its becoming more apparent in every debate.

[KansasGirl]

SHUTUP HUNTSMAN. You are such an azz.

[Eaker]

Have the taxes gone up in TX?

Nope.

Another Paul lie.

Unless there is a new State income tax that I forgot to pay.......... ;<)

[PMAS]

No way to greet a rival

[CASchack]

Newt raises the level of the debates. I would like to see him debate Obama, Lincoln-Douglas style.

[Inspectorette]

I think I’m in love...

[DRey]

Romeny “Texas is a great state, unlike the miserable hellhole I ran.”

LOL!!!!!

[Lazlo in PA]

Huntsman is a real wet rag in this event. He was probably the kid who ratted out others for running in the halls in elementary school. What a dud.

[RitaOK]

Perry is a snake oil salesman that will; say or do anything to be elected, total _ _ _

Perry is not saying and doing it all...............YET.

[Tennessee Nana]

he has 4 Aces hidden somewhere...

knowing mittens, they’re all the same suit, though.

LOL

[TomGuy]

I am am lost wondering if zero gets any lower will the dems still run him or not?

Listening to Rush today and seeing several articles in the past week, the MSM are signalling to Obama that he is in deep trouble. Is he listening? After his repetitious Pass the jobs bill, he doesn't seem to be.

If the economy/jobs are as bad or worse by December, I think the Dem leadership will pressure Obama out of running.

Good summary—thanks for the lightning typing.
