Don’t even get me started ‘bout Mr. big-government Santorum ...

I liked his answer. That doesn’t mean I believe he’ll govern in accordance with his answer.

Tim Paulenty cheering Romney on and on and on. ...to the point of ridiculous.....

Fred T. asked why is he for Newt....”Says cause of the condition of the country...we are at a tipping point...Obama taking us in direction of Europe...we need someone who is substitive, can articulate issues and take it to Obama. Newt is the guy who can carry the mail....Mitt was behind so pulled out all the stops and went after Newt”.

On the post-debate Donna said Santorum was good and Newt was "flat" and facing a lot of "headwind."

Fleischer defends his boy Romney on the fact checked Romney ad. Anderson suggests the ad is accurate even if Newt didn't say what the ad claimed he said. So transparent.

Wolfie and Coop' talking about Newt being "flat."

I don't see how stating fact about where Romney's had money kept in a Swiss account and the Caymen Islands is "charge" or "serious allegation."

Everyone thinks Romney walks on water, seem to predict he'll take FL.

I dread they are correct. This was not Newt's best night. With Santorum giving up on FL but not dropping out, I don't see Newt pulling off back-to-back wins.

With winner-take-all FL's 50 delegates, Romney gets back on track with inevitability a sweeps through the friendly states like Mormon-heavy Nevada and his birth state of Michigan in February.

CNN spinmasters are saying Mitt took it to Newt, but they all said Santorum did well. They just can’t say he won the debate. He was the clear winner.

Can it be verified that busloads were brought in from the Romney camp?

Are there photos or videotape of these people and these busses?

I heard lots of shouts and applause for Ron Paul too.

Did he bus in his people?

What is this Santorum bashing?

He endorsed Specter over Toomey eight years ago. Supporting a RINO over a true conservative is an inexcusable death-penalty offense. Unless that RINO is Dede Scozzafava. Then it's forgotten in less than two years.

Actualy my guess is since the Florida Republican Committee sponsored the debate, we know who got a lot of the other 2200 seats...the FL GOP-E.

Agreed good post,we have to do more with the New Media if we want any level of fairness. We sure as hell won’t get it with the drivebys.

the line “for the children” has become a joke. Surely you know that by now. Get real. It’s pandering.

Donna Brazille is looking ill. She is either sick or on one heck of a weight loss program. Maybe she is a lot older than I think.

Newt did “ok” but not his usual outstanding performance

I know what you mean but I think we also have to look at what was being asked for questions.

Newt does best on questions about policy. Many of the questions were to pin him and Romney against each other based on ads and attacks or why would your wife make a good first lady.

"the children" have parents and grandparents watching who KNOW exactly what is at stake...I have told people that the reason I bother to be politically involved is for my child and grandchildren, nieces and nephews....and I REFUSE to let Clintonian political gaming define what I'm for...just because they use it doesn't mean it is not valid and meaningful.
