Hosted by Wolf Blitzer at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.
Word is the audience will be "allowed" to participate.
my feed cut out again just as Newt was speaking. I hate that!
I'm an old geezer and it seems I have been hearing about Puerto Rican “Independence” and Puerto Rican “Statehood” all my life.
If they haven't agreed on which way to go by now, it will never happen.
Sorry to burst your bubbles, fellow Newties, but we’re not winning Florida.
Romney was the clear winner. Everything was clearly stacked in his favor, from the audience to the questions and even his answers, but the MSM will slant their coverage to cover over the evidence. He needed to be broken and he only took a few punches.
Santorum is no better at debates than Herman Cain. If the moderator tosses him a question he knows, he can knock it out of the park. If he doesn’t know, he uhms, ahhs, and stumbles his way through something incoherent. That won’t cut it against Mitt Romney OR Barack Obama.
Newt didn’t have the landmark performance he needed. In particular, his initial responses on immigration were awful. He gave Romney a new soundbite: the problem with immigration isn’t 11 million illegal grandmas. Romney is a vile, reprehensible cretin, and I’ll never vote for him, but I actually agree with that statement.
Paul is Paul. He actually had some quirky, funny moments.
Rombama is naught but a silverspoon coddled pussy who owes everything to nepotism.
Some playground kid could've saved us all a lot of grief by beatin' the snot out of him and some humility into him 45 years ago.
Santorum will probably be president someday. He just needs to keep maturing.
Santorum is a sorry SOB. He was asked why he would be the best candidate. What does this asshole do. He attacks Gingrich and Romney. To hell with that sneaky bastard.
“I will NOT watch the spin room after the debate.”
ME NEITHER..when the debate ends I’ll cut my stream off..
Post-debate feedback will be here soon enough, lol.
Really? Is that why they baptize us after we’re dead?
I hope I don’t get canned, but he is still my first choice.....sigh. This election will go down in history with conservative’s struggling with what we have had to choose from and hopefully defeating Obama.
After a good debate on his part, Rick sounded very small in his closing statements.
Santorum had a great night overall, but he botched the last question by going negative.
He had the luxury of being outside of the Newt/Mitt squabble.
And now the stacked crowd is shouting “Mitt Mitt Mitt”...what a hoax.
Newt’s closing “doing it for the children” was lame.
It is good not to have all the eggs in the Newt basket.
Ditto.
Look at Mitt jumping into his mosh pitt of paid supporters ...how fake.
Considering she flat-out stated on one of the post-debate round table discussions that Democrats WANT ROMNEY to win, BECAUSE they believe "he is the most beatable" by Obama, I am sure Democrats all over are salivating at how well Romney did in tonight's debate.
Will that there Magic underwear stop me from peeing in Morse code?
