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

[show]

This is wrong. While Romney has stacked the audience again and Zero will attempt to do the same, Newt STILL gets even more applause over Romney.

Now if a CNN reporter follows Romney into the crowd, everyone needs to ignore it. Because it’s staged.

[ King: that was a good exercise [the one-worders]

No, it fell flat, John. ]

definitely. The only thng I got from that is that someone needs to teach Santorum the difference between an adjective and a noun.

[Shelayne]

Those bloomers could temporarily blind him. LOL.

[matginzac]

Paul is loveable BUT seems like an ostrich looking for sand to bury his head in....no wars NEVAH!

[mylife]

Newt just called Dempsy out!

[Repub4bush]

Conviction my ass! Santorum would be no better than my first love GWB in siding with the dems to do the wrong thing! Santorum has not stood up for anything , looking at his record in congress!

We need a person to shake up Washington.. not just get along! That person is Newt! Not Ricky!

[Shortstop7]

lol. I was just watching Mitt....he studies Newt carefully during Newt’s answers....so he can figure out what to say from that. Newt is sooooo smart.

[reasonisfaith]

Without question, Newt is head and shoulders above the rest.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Anyway, there is a news cyle, and debates are generally forgotten within 48 hours. The ground game on Tuesday will be the most important thing at this point.

[Sacajaweau]

The old “I agree with Newt”...

[bobby.223]

Great ticket but Calista sitting next to R. Perry in the crowd tonight....hhhmmmmm.

[rodguy911]

Thanks!
We have a rouge govt. in charge. They do whatever they want whenever they want and our side seems oblivious to it except for Newt! Whenever he gets the chance newt nails the regime as he should.

The problem is having the debates on CNN. They’re never going to talk about issues of real substance. Once again, we’re back to the campagin trail. It’ll have to be done there, because the media is not going to give any Republican nominee a chance at substance in any debate with Obama.

[eyedigress]

You got that Red Roll running south from Rutherford Cty earlier.

[sandshark222]

Why oh why, do Mitt and RuPaul never have a bad word to say about each other? Seriously... what gives?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Santorum.........rambling...........blabbering..........dualistic as usual.

[dandiegirl]

I mute when Santorum and Mitt go longer than 30 secs. Both ramble way too much.

[KansasGirl]

It is grossly irresponsible on the part of CNN.

Newt’s energy speech

[writer33]

You didn’t read that article that explained that Ron Paul was in the tank for Romney?
