You are correct, there will be two regular format debates and one Town Hall type debate as is now the tradition.

And any of the three candidates, Romney, Santorum or Paul will get their butts slapped by Obama and the MSM. Newt will be the one doing the spanking if he is our candidate.

Oh, you can bet that he MSM will team up with Obama and bring in rehersed plants in the audience to ask the questions. The MSM will also give Obama a complete list of all the questions ahead of time, for his speech writers to dress up his response.

It will be the complete opposite of a true debate. I have a feeling that Newt would be able to use that against them and embarrass them with their own propaganda.

“Oh, you can bet that he MSM will team up with Obama and bring in rehearsed plants in the audience to ask the questions.”

We all have seen what happened to the journalists who tried to “outsmart” Newt with loaded questions in debates. They all had their butts handed back to them on the chopping block.

A lawyer is by trade a dishonest person. That’s their beef and how they make money.

Just imagine yourself defending a child’s killer in court. I couldn’t do that in one million years.

That is really Good News! I knew Mitt wouldn’t be back for more, but he never brought anything but lies to the table anyway. This should be a much better forum without him and Crazy Uncle Ron.

Thanks Marguerite. Sowell is a national treasure and a brilliant man. I believe everything he says and have admired him for eons.

I am going to post this on several facebook sites that are pro Newt.

Get this Jedi, Krauthammer said he follows the Buckley Rule and votes not for the most conservative candidate but the most electable conservative candidate that can win. Too bad old Krauthammer doesn’t understand that Mitt won’t win.

Judson Phillips, the founder of Tea Party Nation describes his criteria for President:

“Conservative, Electable, National Experience, and most importantly - Vision. When you start looking at all the really great Republican candidates that are out there—there’s really only one who fulfills all those, particularly the vision requirement, and that’s Newt Gingrich.”

And even if Obama decided just to blow them off, there are ways to handle that and Newt himself has addressed that issue by referring to the way Lincoln shadowed Douglas, who at first refused to debate.

In THIS media environment? You're dreaming.

Seriously, I don’t know if it is my computer or my mouse. I’ve never experienced this quirk. I try and highlight and delete, it jumps all over and denies me or rearranges.

I've dealt with this. It's probably one of a couple of possibilities: 1) You are using a cordless mouse and your batteries are running low, 2) You are using an optical mouse (the kind with the red light on the bottom instead of a ball) on a high-gloss, reflective surface, or 3) both 1 & 2.

If it's #1, replace batteries. If #2, try putting a mousepad under your mouse, or some other non-reflective surface, preferably black. Table tops should do, as long as they are not too shiny.

Good luck.

I do agree!

I just want to see Zero gone with his tail between his legs.

Expose Fast and Furious.

Expose Obama's contempt for this country, and his assault on religious freedom.

Expose his lavish lifestyle at America's expense, and his penchant for spending us into trillions of dollars in debt.

Expose George Soros, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ahers, and all those that would seek the destruction of this country.

There are/were good attorneys out there. My father was a damned good one. (He often cited how Marquette University, where he got his law degree, pounded ethics into them.)

Dad never wanted to be an attorney defending those who had committed crimes, so he went into real estate law. He did tons of pro-bono work for so many because they couldn't afford an attorney.

We were never rich, but were left with a rich legacy after my father died.

I have one and two and I have cleaned the red light area, scrubbed my desk to squeak. I have replaced the batteries a few times. I am going to buy a new mouse, it must be that.

Even trying to use my search engine (start page) and change stuff in the search-box, takes more than an act of congress! I can also end up with word soup.

Even trying to mess with MS Word and Paint Shop Pro is enough to have one locked up.

I hope it is the mouse. I have paid AVAST and Malwarebytes. It is the craziest ‘puter experience I’ve ever had.

Maddening for someone who sucks at grammar in the first place! :p
