Mitt won.

Huck lost.

Fred Thompson used to work for planned parenthood. They all have a few skeletons in their closets.

For some weird reason McCain looks better and healthier than he did in 2000....

[Terrence DoGood]

From our friends at the “Club For Growth”

1) When Ron Paul asked McCain his obscure question, McCain said he would consult with, among others, the Concord Coalition—the same group that declared Linc Chafee the most fiscally conservative Senator TWICE! That’s reassuring.

2) McCain said he won a majority of the Republican vote in NH and SC—not so. He didn’t even win a plurality. He lost the Republican vote by a hair in both states to the second place Republican. So much for straight talk.

He wasn’t blaming America he was blaming the Republican Party for abandoning it’s principles in a he was absolutely right about it. And he was right about the fact that the Republican Party use to be the party that avoided war as well.

And, the Republican party brought on 9-11? RuPaul is a blame America first guy!

That’s how they looked tonight...I DID say they need to pick someone from another region of the country, a conservative, later on...did you see that post?

I was saying of the candidates tonight that’s who I’d match up. How would Matt Blunt be as a VP?

Traveling to Costa Rica tomorrow - thinking of changing my ticket to one way - really. Wow - long election year ahead. REAL long.

[Quicksilver]

Todd: Romney's best performance. Not attacked, looked comfortable.

Mathews thinks Mitt won.

[kabar]

No immigration questions. Russert is in the tank for McCain. This is a big issue in Florida.

Did not want to hear prissy chrissy’s assessment of the debate, so switched to Fox and who is on the screen? Greta. I’m switching to the cartoon network.

[AliVeritas]

Matt, how much did you spend?

[SharpTalons]

Chris Matthews said that Romney’s forceful answers in the face of pressure reminded him of Reagan.

[TexasNative2000]

A+

[Brimack34]

Mrs greenspan agreed that Scar is not conservative.

[DoughtyOne]

Good point. I’m not convinced much more than improved postering was acomplished though.

[Sacajaweau]

btt

[make no mistake]

Romney wins this debate, easily. Very impressive. Only one weak answer (2nd Amendment), at least five or six very strong ones

2nd amendment counts Big Time

[Reagan Man]

Great minds think alike. ;^)
