Newt won.

We don’t need anymore on the job “Obama” type of training. We are in serious trouble. Hate or love him, Newt knows how to balance the budget and history proves that.

That is exactly what I was saying in another thread about the debate! I felt Michele Bachmann said “I fought” so many times it got boring to even listen to her.

What was worse, it began to sound like all she EVER did was fight. I never heard she DID anything. She just fought.

I lost a lot of respect for Michele Bachmann tonight.

“How many people are even paying attention......tonight’s debate was a fart in a windstorm.”

Probably a lot of us on here that really need to get a life. BTW was the fart silent, squeaky, or rolling and was there any sulfur present?

Believe it or not, Newt.

Cain is the real deal.

Bachmann showed that she belongs in the top tier.

Newt did win. America needs to get a grip on who is the best to get us back on top.

Newt Gingrich would chew his marxist ass up and spit it out.

I agree, Herman Cain was the winner. He answered the questions without putting anyone down on stage.

He had a plan; he brought himself up to speed on addressing issues where he needed more information and he pointed out where he had been misrepresented on issued skewed by the MSM.

That was a photo op after she spoke, not really much waving for those 15min or so.

Conveys openness .. in her pockets woulda seemed a tad casual .. gotta put 'em somewhere !

Gingrich will ALWAYS be the smartest one in the room. But he hasn’t a chance...like PALIN. Too damaged. Too bad.

I don’t know about that. He might make it through these Primaries.

There is a poll on http://nation.foxnews.com/ where you can vote on who you think did the best on the debate tonight.

I would suggest some of you go over there and vote. I did, and when I got the results, it was showing Ron Paul winning with 59.36% of the vote. There is no way..........

My point being that he is clearly good on his remembrance of events, he is equally as clear on what is being presented to him. That is tough to overcome.

I just meant the light or something makes them look like giant green claws—kind of creepy looking.

But it’s a beautiful picture of someone I hope and pray is our next president.

As a photographer of sorts myself, I’m “jealous” of your shot.

It is very much too bad about Newt.

I know I’ll be flamed but I have my own view... Palin is electable but not qualified... maybe she is hiding something like Reagan. I’m still waiting for it to show up.

Frankly this is a lackluster group of candidates.
The real question though is does it really matter?
We are on our way to a total Default, no way out of the box.
In addition possibly a collapse of all we know.
Now what kind of political system will we then have?
I am wondering if this the last election we may have under what was once was a Representative Republic.
It is a sobering thought.
I don’t believe that there is anything that any of these people, if they were President, could do to turn the tide at this point.
Mathematically the Interest Expense alone will force a Default.
Strong Political Will and Leadership and leveling with the American People are what is needed.
Can any of these people supply that????????????

What did Reagan hide, and what could Governor Palin, or her extended family possibly be hiding?

He answered the questions without putting anyone down on stage.

You are right..... Presidential even.

His focus is on solving the problem.

I hadn't noticed that til you said 'green' .. had another look and yes, the light must've been weird-ish at that moment.
But they're really not green, promise .. lol

(and thanks)
