[Yaelle]

The troops can relax. Paul will never get the nom.

[editor-surveyor]

A “clip-on” Christian from Texas.

[newzjunkey]

Can you be pro-business and pro-worker?

Cain says yes. He was a worker before an executive. Giving good answer about restaurant association, mentions his parent's blue collar jobs.

One of Huntman's problems is he doesn't seem the least bit credible with those wildly moving eyebrows.

[MagUSNRET]

Forgive the analogy...but Huntsman, akin to Obammy,,,,is someone who would make it for the world to yet again, have the USA take it up the arse!

[jessduntno]

“I notice Wolf is not long winded as usual”

I think they handled him at the beginning and he knew “freewheeling” with these folks (especially Newt) might be the death of him .. no cue cards to hide behind.

[Clovis_Skeptic]

Here we go again ...the Paul haters on parade. Amazing how many that think they are conservative, are actually facist warmongers! Imagine Paul talking about obeying the constitution, and stop waging war around the globe. Plus allowing the states to concern themselves with matters that concern the states.

[NYTexan]

I must need to take an Evelin Wood speed reading course because this thread is speeding by like a freight train!

[rodguy911]

Bachman trying to charm her way into Biden’s job.

[Longbow1969]

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!

Yes, Newt really does incredibly well in these debates. But he's still Newt, and he's not going to be the Republican nominee.

[Outlaw Woman]

She’d make a terrific Speaker of the House though

[justsaynomore]

Anyone notice that if they are attacking each other they get to go on and on, but if they start talking about real solutions they get cut off?

[Free Vulcan]

I am FREAKING TIRED of Huntsman, Paul and Romney. Just say what you want to do, quit attacking Perry because he’s the perceived front runner.

[KansasGirl]

Oh me too! Zero would be so embarassed he may never show his face again!

[Rome2000]

Huntsman is definitely the wackiest guy on stage.

Romney is right behind him.

[callisto]

Perry/Rubio would sweep the nation.

(*Putting on my flame-retardant suit as I type.)

[mylife]

Yes. they always fly like this.

[GatorGirl]

I am really enjoying this debate. Rowdy crowd. I thought about going down there tonight but life gets in the way.

I am seriously considering attending the Orlando debate next week though.

Love this format. Wolf Blitzer is doing a pretty good job.

[Outlaw Woman]

He’s a RINO!

[Signalman]

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

You could be right but the Dems have to know that Blacks are going to be pissed, and they'll stay home on election day.

[Jane Long]

Yeah, I think while the site was down today, they added some Slick 50 :)
