NBC steering away from any issues that matter because they know what is where Newt shines.<<<<<<<

Perfectly said. Just turn loose Mittens. Even Santorum seems bored. He must have gotten the message, as you said above, exactly in that way.

[Bronzy]

Yeah, didn't Romney say that Dodd-Frank was good?

[fml]

NBC not MSNBC

[Windflier]

This just in ***Fidel Castro has died.

Again? What's that - like the third time he's died in the last year?

[Raebie]

And the audiance is openly rebelling by applauding now. Lol.

What a tool of a debate.

[Irish Eyes]

Can’t believe I’m saying it...but Ron Paul is the most likeable tonight. Wow.

Paul is the only one having a good night.

[katiedidit1]

he was a flight surgeon. Never saw combat but he served during the cold war

[Grunthor]

Ron Paul: “I don’t even know why the Cuban people feel so intimidated”

I believe him.

[imchris]

This just in ***Bill and Monica have official endorsed Cuban cigars. Long live Castro!!!

[AFPhys]

That whole Cuba exchange just laid the groundwork for a huge move by Cuba immigrant community to swing toward Newt.

[RobinWWJD]

Next Brian will ask If six californians were walking forty miles, how fast would the train go to Colorado?

Brian Williams is a tool and a time waster, not to mention he’s oozing Romney’s grecian formula..... blah

[ReneeLynn]

Newt’s answer was kickass.

[bgill]

This debate seems pretty worthless.

The cakes on The Cake Boss are nice tonight and more earth shattering and relevant than the debate...

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Newt got a nice Castro remark in.

Paul going off the rails about Cuba. But he gets a smattering of appLause.

Santorum wants to continue Sanctions til Castro are gone. He points that that southern border and Cuba look good to Jihadists. Nice linking there by Santorum.

[Cato in PA]

It looks like Romney’s strategy was to unleash an avalanche on Newt and then shift gears to try and appear “presidential” again.

[American Quilter]

Fidel Castro has died.

Again?

[TexasFreeper2009]

Romney sounds like Elmer Fudd

[Solson]

LOL!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

GO SANTORUM. GREAT on Latin American threat spreading. A good smackdown of Paul’s ostrich syndrome. The marriage of communism with islamofascism in our hemisphere, threating the United States. This guy is SOLID on this issue.

[writer33]

Santorum is solid on foreign policy.
