I can tell before airtime that the audience was warned against any outburst or comment.

[ez]

Mitt talking about his NH win...wish someone had added YOU LIVE THERE!!

[Reagan69]

The eyebrow speaks.

[RobertClark]

When Newt is speeking there is a very audible echo and the others have solid sound! WTF

I like it - it's the Darth Vader effect. It gives him a powerful tone.

[who knows what evil?]

Romney/Obama 2012!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Ron Paul is a bit of a nut, but I sure hope he brings up the fact his son, a sitting Senator, was detained by the TSA today, in possible violation of the US Constitution. If I were him (which I am not) that is what I would pivot in tonight.

[katiedidit1]

Paul not attacking Newt?

[RitaOK]

Gingrich is succinct! And SUCH a threat to the ROMNEY machine! Wheels HAVE to be coming off and I hope his bundlers move to Newt!

[TomGuy]

Paul challenges Gingrich’s memory of Gingrich’s losing his Speakership — basically says Gingrich is lying.

Gingrich doesn’t respond, talks about the Federal Reserve.

[CASchack]

LOL!

Romney is loathsome.

[Girlene]

Santorum on his loss in Philadelphia he learned there’s only one thing worse than losing an election.... not standing for your principles.

Just listening to Ron Paul - HuH? Paul standing up for Gingrich when he was speaker?????? Okay - what’s the strategy?

[FL911]

Did Brian Williams ask Paul a debate question? LOL What is debate-able about a 3rd party.

[untwist]

I give Brian Williams credit. He is doing a very straight job so far. He is trying to smoke out Ron Paul, now. Newt needs to take this Federal Reserve issue on - one of the few good points Grandpa Ron has.

[mylife]

Mitt capitalizes by talking about things that Paul is right about while contrasting himself with him.

[bgill]

Ooh, that would be the moment of the night if Paul would bring up TSA.

[sodpoodle]

Newt is so brilliant - now praising Paul’s efforts in Congress.

Brian Williams had nothing - so now he turns to Mitt on his tax returns.

This is pitiful.

[mylife]

Newt capitalizes by talking about things that Paul is right about while contrasting himself with him.

[Deo volente]

Paul “has no plans” to go third party, but “I’m not an absolutist”.

Sounds like he hasn’t ruled it out.

[Jane Long]

Yep...Newt is NOT getting side-tracked. Milt looks and sounds like a LIAR!

[tomkat]

This Williams dork is on his knees for Rombot.

Yes, precisely that !
