LIVE DEBATE THREAD (Is it too early to start?)

[StarFan]

Santorum has a way about him that doesn’t come across well. I get uncomfortable just watching him.

You're not alone. He's like a teacher's pet turned class snitch and the audience is beginning to see through him with their boos.

[dandiegirl]

They are booing Santorum.

[Irish Eyes]

Are we still on birth control?

[Netizen]

I’m in MI. I’ll vote for Santorum next Tuesday and anyone but Romney in the General. Romney must lose MI.

[Utmost Certainty]

I like how Santorum puffs himself as this ‘man of principle’, but then exhorts that people should “look at what I say, not what I actually do.”

[eyedigress]

Ricky is in the mud and can’t get out. He doesn’t get it.

[Toespi]

Newt is no dummy. Santorum must go first.

[Signalman]

The Dems (and their surrogate CNN) have set a trap to get the Candidates to focus on birth control (instead of the economy) and the candidates have fallen for it.

[Red Steel]

Paul going after Santo - It’s always an excuse.

Mittens gangs up with Paul - you voted [Santo] for Title 10.

Santo getting booed by the Mitten’s crowd.

[mylife]

He is the consummate politician.

He sucks.

[CASchack]

Ron Paul made his best point by stating no money should go to Planned Parenthood.

[Red_Devil 232]

Ricky getting Boos on several of his answers!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Just ignored a call from IPSOS.

[Reagan69]

Ricky’s in trouble. He’s rambling.

[Tennessee Nana]

Oh noez

Willie Mitty hasnt had a quesrion for a whole minute so he has to jump in...

Rick slams Willie with RomneyCare

“15 ways that RomneyCare was the model for ObamaCare “

LOL

[Right_in_Virginia]

Rick’s so lost he’s now quoting Newt’s answer! LOL

[Repub4bush]

My husband who leans more towards Santorum, with Newt second, Just said SAntorum is screwing up royalty here! I am smiling...LOL

[Pravious]

The audience is SO stacked with Romneybots that they’re now booing everything Santorum says. This is obscene.

[matginzac]

Totally agree...

[Kenny]

"And now little Ricky is starting to backpeddle on his Title 20 - another Santorum idea to spend more money and expand government. It’s what he does. Always.

Well, all should be happy then when Romney's the nominee because that's what this is going to boil down to. Newt will pick up enough support in the next two races to stop Santorum and Mitt will beat both. Yippee!
