I would like to see somebody at the debate tonight to say that a vote for Romney is a vote for Obama

I hope a Gingrich or Santorum consultant sees this thread, and steals this line: Ron Paul is the great gesticulater.

I couldn’t have Sarah Palin, so I’m all in for Newt Gingrich!

We need his radical changes to save and restore our Republic!

No candidates who see our problems as “manageable.”

GO NEWT!

[BCrago66]

Palin and Gingrich: Superficially quite different, but with one fundamental similarity - they both have guts.

[blueyon]

“GO NEWT!

Agreed Go Newt

Thanks, Nana

HUntsman is a minor nuisance,he does not suck up much money or many votes.If Paul,Santorum and Perry stay in Newt is through. He does not have the money to counter what Mitt can do.

[rodguy911]

Please put me on it.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Tonight should hopefully mark the beginning of the end of the Santorum surge (thank God) so we can get back to the serious competition between Romney and Gingrich for the nomination without all these distractions.

[CainConservative]

Why is it when Willard attacks - it’s called politics, but when Newt or Perry or Santorum attack it’s called whining?

[onyx]

I think I’ll grab a sandwich before this starts!

[tennmountainman]

I’m counting on Newt going Postal tonight. Anything less and I will be disappointed. Romney sliced and diced him in Iowa.
It’s time for Newt to get Nasty.

[Rational Thought]

I thought Huntsman was out?

Not until Wednesday.....

[CainConservative]

Dear Republican field,

To all of the candidates not named Willard-if any you want to have a prayer of winning, tonight better be one giant Romney pile on.

We are watching you!

Signed, The Conservatives of Orange County

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I agree.

Romney’s smugness is tough to take.

A debate on a playoff nite?????yeesh.

[show]

Liberal in RINO clothing=

It is a fact that Paul is Liberal in that Paul's "base" will eventually vote for Zero. He needs to be shunned on the stage. Ron Paul is no Republican let alone a Conservative. Anyone ever hear Paul bash Zero or a Democrat? Exactly.

Would love for a Conservative moderator to advise Paul that he public is onto his fake posing as a Republican and he needs to debate in the Next Democrat Debate.

Tonight I am listening to the University of Connecticut men against Rutgers men in college b-ball. And yes, the UConn women went down to Notre Dame women in college b-ball, but better than watching another GOP debate.

[ChuteTheMall]

I have one question for Willard:

“Boxers or briefs?”

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

SANTORUM / GINGRICH....

reminds me of Bush/Cheney...

[reaganaut]

The drinking word for tonight is “fundamental.

- - - - - -
2004 election cycle, MrR and I turned every debate into a drinking game. We even went over to some friends house (also conservative) and played with them.

[Biggirl]

What does Paul, the Paulbots, and a can of Planters Mixed Nuts have in common? They are NUTS!

[Coyote Choir]

The only candidate who will be able to function, much less lead, when pitted against the media and the Dems for four years of political war is Neut. He knows what he is getting into, he knows the players, and he knows where the levers are which can make things move. Romney, on the other hand, will smile and read the teleprompter, and the Congressional RHINO leaders are counting on that. Go Neut!

[StarFan]

Thanks for the list. They have one debate by foxnews scheduled and the others are either CNN (2 or 3), NBC and PBS. Good grief!

[LostInBayport]

Would love for a Conservative moderator to advise Paul

Would love a conservative moderator PERIOD! So sick of the David Gregorys and Diane Sawyers asking gotcha questions designed to help Obama. Dare I ask who the moderator is tonight? Is it Georgie Snufflupagus?

[Las Vegas Ron]

I think I’ll grab a sandwich before this starts!

Ha, cooking Brats as we speak!

I hope I don't end up throwing one at the TV with Gregory being the moderator and all....

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

NEWT/ Cain...

THAT would make the Libs heads explode.ha.

Or how about Newt/ cheney??? ha.

[rodguy911]

Thanks very much.Our cable company is messing with the boxes again and I lost my office TV.

[CounterCounterCulture]

I thought Huntsman was out? I must have read something wrong somewhere.

Perhaps you're thinking of Gary Johnson, who's vying to run on the Libertarian Party ticket?

[Girlene]

To all of the candidates not named Willard-if any you want to have a prayer of winning, tonight better be one giant Romney pile on.

Bingo.....Gingrich and Santorum need to make a pact for a while to do just that. After Romney is gone, then they can go at it.

[reaganaut]

If that happens, ping me. I’ll send them a donation.

[RitaOK]

The panelists are Gregory and Stephenopolos?

PRECICTIONS:

Media will be hoping to get out of this able to paint Newt as too hostile, volitile, yada yada.

Santorum will be ordinary, as usual.
Paul will be, well, Paul, as usual.
Huntsman will be ignored, as usual.
Romney’s nasal speak will exceed only his bent forward engaged posture, as usual.

NEWT WILL WIN, AS USUAL! THIS IS NO CONTEST WHATSOEVER!

[txhurl]

Uhm... David Gregory.

[rodguy911]

My dolphins are having a tough year I’ll watch the debate.LOL!

[traviskicks]

FYI:

[RitaOK]

Is it a single moderator tonight???? Just Gregory?? No Stephenopolis?

[struggle]

Mitt is pro-life, pro-government, and pro-gay marriage.

Keep saying it other candidates.

[StarFan]

That trio was fabulous!

[Amntn]

Please add me to your ping list.

[Amntn]

Please add me to your ping list.

[reaganaut]

Mitt is pro-life, ...

- - - -
Don’t you mean PRO-ABORTION?

[MagUSNRET]

I thought this debate was on ABC...isnt that idiot Gregory on NBC? as in “Meet the Depressed”?

[Yaelle]

Wow, you could get very sick of your candidate.

[katiedidit1]

are you ready to RUMBLE??????????? GOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWT!!!!!!!!!!

[blueyon]

Popcorn for me........hows your sandwich?

[Marcella]

I’m having coffee and chocolate cake at the moment. Hope I don’t have to go to Baileys Irish Creme in a large glass. Hope to keep it to a small, dignified glass. Depends on how the debate goes as to small or large.

What are you’ll drinking/eating?
