And I truly like, admire and respect the guy.

As this thing goes, there are less and less debates. One debate in the month of February. That means it comes down to the campaign trail and campaign ads. If Santorum can hang in there, he stands a chance.

Ari Fleicher calls Mitt an alpha dog.

What would a pussy like Ari know about alpha dog.

Bad: Florida is a very different state demographically, and plays well to a moderate candidate.

Yep... filled with retired northeast liberals...

too Clintonian. Everything for “the children.” Canned and hackneyed.

Ari Fleischer shows he is a GOP-E Shill and pimps Romney.

Santorum is being interviewed with his mom at his side.

She was his lucky charm tonight.

I have to step in and clear Quayle. The potato thing was a setup. The school gave him cards and he went by what they told him. He knew it was wrong but didn’t call the school on it. He was setup and there wasn’t an internet then.

“Romney people should be happy tonight” so says talking head on CNN “but the big winner was Santorum”. Ari believes RS was strong but Romney won tonight. Romney’s reaction seemed to indicate the same.

For those paying attention, Newt appeared weak tonight.

This is not even debatable. Lets be honest.

Paul had a very good night, Santorum had a great night, and unfortunately Romney had a good night...

Even a blind man could see that Romney is a slimeball.

I hope so. I've lost my ability to analyze this objectively

“DRUDGE has a poll that needs freepin”

Sorry. After this week, I’ve forbidden my computer to go to that page again.

The stacked audience is slanting everyone’s view.

Romney has never received so much applause.

i hope this was a lesson to people honestly interested in limited government. the msm should have nothing to do with our nominating process especially debates. this debate was a joke. 100% set up for romney. the audience was selected by leftists. the questions were selected by leftists. the debate was steered by a leftist. i strongly suspect romney knew what was coming. he sounded so rehearsed! complete joke!

I don’t think the vote changes. Maybe Santorum takes 3rd? Would be great if Santorum took 2nd but I’m not holding my breath on that one.
Newt wins Fa!

Amen. What an answer! Not to diminish Newt’s answer in the least, but Santorum drew a line the sand and made it clear that he understands without a doubt that government doesn’t grant us rights, God does. Wow!

A little late for Santorum to finally be learning about inalienable rights.
