Ruddys doing a lot of bobbing and weaving

[3D-JOY]

I just gave up never got a connection! DARN IT!

[Vision]

He fence sits. It would be ok if it was turned over, and he’d be happy if it was left up to the judges.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Bush is a compassionate conservative?

A mushy conservative in my book. Although much better than both Algore and Flipper.

[MaxMax]

Holy crap, Rudy dont care about abortion!

[The Pack Knight]

Rudy’s going into full weasel mode on the Roe v Wade question.

I noticed that, too. I half-expected him to dive behind the curtain when they were working down to him.

[Old_Mil]

Romney now gets to explain his flip flop on the life issue.

[kabar]

The candidates had to agree to this format.

They should ask Duncan the question on abortion...but they won’t.

[bvw]

They seem to have read my comment — all of a sudden the names are “popping up” — not for long tho ...

I thinkk Romney’s doing pretty well with this issue.

[txradioguy]

RINO Ron Paul shouldn’t even be in this debate IMHO...he’s a Liberaltarian who only puts an “R” beside his name to ensure he gets elected in his district.

[calcowgirl]

Hunter good words on Iran in the compassionate conservative question! He had to take control; and he did!

If they won't give the opportunity, then take it! And he did! excellent!

[Old_Mil]

Brownback’s sinking now...”I could support a pro-abortion nominee because of the 11th commandment.”

[alicewonders]

Brownback - don’t like his answer.

[AuntB]

Rudy will support an amendment to allow naturalized citizens to run for president.

Say what? The dude is in the wrong debates, he needs to get with he dems.

[Capt. Jake]

I’m really impressed with Mitt and Duncan.

[eyespysomething]

DID anyone else catch Chris Matthews, when Ron Paul gave his answer of he believes in the original intent of the Consitution to the changing the Constitution question, Chrissy said “Oh God”

I want to see the transcript!

[RasterMaster]

Who’s the guy with the “Big Tent” BS...
