Russert is just annoying. He’s badgering Mitt.

[magritte]

Good question...I heard that as well...magritte...

[kjam22]

Who whispered “raise taxes” before Romney answered?

[Fudd Fan]

Hillery-rotten also from an eastern state. Osama-Obama from IL. Not a southern or westerner in the bunch.

[icwhatudo]

“Will you do what Reagan did?”

“No, I will not raise taxes to solve ss problem.”

---

Mitt just scored big.

[plain talk]

That is because you are liberal...

LOL. take a hike ...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Timmy is really going after Mitt tonight, but I think it’s backfiring on him.

[The Forgotten Man]

Romneys train has left the station, the other four are looking for tickets....

[McGruff]

Mitt is doing a good job of controlling his temper under attack.

[kjam22]

That’s what I want to know...

[advance_copy]

Yeah, who whispered that? Kind of sounded like Brian Williams.

[Reagan Man]

"Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush.
I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."

~~~ Mitt Romney LINK

[tillacum]

They’re afraid for hillary.

[tiredoflaundry]

I heard that also! It was a whisper, but clear.

[La Enchiladita]

Has anyone noticed that Mitt projects his voice better than the others, who are mushed mouth or halting?

[tioga]

Huck doesn’t wanna start comparing sons with Romney.

[Tennessee Nana]

Ha

Romney

I’m like reagan

Will you rAISE TAxes

No

wELL REAGAN Raised taxes

Whoops

LOL

[Eaker]

I could care less about owning an assault weapon.

I COULDN'T care less if YOU have free speech either.

[relee]

Maybe Williams?

[Scarchin]

I thought that McCain started strong, but Mitt has really picked up steam.

The Russert attacks and Huck’s “joke” added to the momentum.

Rudy, so far, is a close second.
