Unbelievable, considering he’s a grad of Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA.

[don-o]

Romney had to make a hit at the Catholic church.

No he did not.

[La Enchiladita]

Did you say LITHP...?

[AliVeritas]

That’s what he just said.

[advertising guy]

Chris Matthews is a piece of butt waste. He makes me puke

[George W. Bush]

Mitt: "Roman Catholic bishops can do whatever the heck they want."

Great line actually. Down to earth, a light touch dealing with lightweight Chrissy.

[GRRRRR]

Now Hissy Chrissy is badgering Huckabee...that’s NOT the role of a moderator, just ask the questions and let them speak...he thinks it’s his show Hardblowed

[Shortstop7]

Me too......Hunter and Mitt are by far the best

[Vision]

Is this a presidential debate or Chrisy interviewing them them all at his hyper speed in whatever order and attention he wants?

Pathetic.

[no dems]

Romney is getting to dominate the time.

[advance_copy]

Matthews is a jerk.

[johnny7]

Matthews is beatin’ on Huckabee... stickin’ up for Romney.

[The Pack Knight]

Good Tommy Thompson reply to private industry making their own hiring decisions.

Good answer, but Tommy looked like he was about to crap himself when he got that question.

I felt bad for him being singled out for that ambush, but that's what debates are for.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

That was Tommy Thompson. Weird question.

[spectre]

Hunter/Huckabee?

BS! Huckabee is an Illegal Alien Sympathizer. Those two aren't even close on immigration issues.

Huckabee used his "faith" argument to make a case for Illegals staying in Arkansas..

[jennyjenny]

So far I’m liking Hunter and Romney.

[chasio649]

Doobie...is it much further?

;)

[Texas_Jarhead]

"Chrissy is playing “gotcha”!"

Do it once then do it all around otherwise it is ridiculous.

[kidd]

I like Brownback’s answer on religion

[SoCalPol]

The setup for this debate reeeealy needs to be different
