Mitt ...As president I will send missionaries J/k

[MissMagnolia]

Romney taking Paul’s answer .........

and running on and on and on with it!

[Cato in PA]

This debate reeks of corruption. The audience is stacked, the questions are stacked, and Romney the plastic man has been the beneficiary.

I’m convinced that Romney has prepared for this debate down to the inflections in his voice. He speaks differently tonight than he has in the past.

[Shelayne]

That’s exactly what I thought the minute I heard the question. This is so contrived.

[ConservativeInPA]

Move embassy to Jerusalem.

Rebuild the Temple.

[editor-surveyor]

Romney would consult his prophets?

This would turn this country over to Satan officially!

[Right Ahead]

Mitt: Providence = Joseph Smith

[tsowellfan]

This is going to be a long answer by Rick

[ClearCase_guy]

Gingrich seems to begin a lot of his answers with, "I agree with Governor Romney ..."

That's not helping him.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Newt showing humility in seeking God for decisions. Standing up for religion and against the war on it by the secular elite and judiciary!

[Shortstop7]

Mitt had his best debate tonight. He’ll make a fine President. Sorry...

Mitt would be a disaster.

You're a fool.

Reagan was twenty years ago. The world has changed tremendously in those two decades. 90’s solutions would not work today.

HUH? The solution of limited government and free markets is timeless. Government at all levels has grown tremendously since the mid 80's.

Please provide a example of a problem that exist today that that would require solutions that did not exist in the 80s or 90s. Thank you.

When Newt has not been ignored he has been asked the most bizarre inane questions ever,its mostly a non-debate debate.

[onyx]

NEWT’S GRAND SLAM!

We’re the audience not stacked, he just hit one!

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

Great answers by Newt and Rick about the faith questions.

[Revolting cat!]

Newt and Paul are the only ones who don’t use canned responses. This religion question is the best example of that.

[Red Steel]

Romney still couldn’t get through the debate without taking major hits even when being propped up by CNN.

[kjam22]

Does Romneycare fund the bullet proof underware?

[ClearCase_guy]

Rick is tremendous.
