If Willard keeps his promise to repeal zerocare and leave it to the individual states, I can vote for him.

Watch Pawlenty to stick around as the GOP Establishment attack dog to protect their chosen one Romney.

If Perry gets in the race Pawlenty will magically change focus to attack him. Pawlenty is this seasons Huckabee, doing for Romney what Huckabee did for McCain in 2008.

His only purpose in being there is to protect the chosen one from any challengers.

Wonder what they have promised him a Fox News gig, the Senate nomination in Minnesota or a cabinet post?

[Sudetenland]

He did what he needed to do and that is come out unscathed. I was saddened that Pawlenty and Bachmann chose to go at each other. They need to remember Reagan's 11th Commandment. Neither one of them did themselves credit.

Obama is the enemy, not the other Republican candidates. Anyone of them, including Romney, would be far better than the disaster we now have. Never forget who the real threat to America is. Obama is out to destroy this nation and its economy.

FOX's misogynist RomneyBOT:

"Mission Accomplished"

[Tallguy]

Dog-psychology. 2 high-ranking pack members going at it for the right to challenge the perceived Alpha.

[Mr. Lucky]

As much as I hate it, your analysis is probably correct.

[Logical me]

Newt Gingrich. He attacked moderators Chris Wallace and Bret Baier for asking “I gotcha questions. That was fantastic. One thing about Newt, he will attack stupidity.

[InvisibleChurch]

When will the medium give up on the ‘clever’ name abbreviations? T-paw? B-sh!t.

[Palladin]

My Top Five from last night:

1. Bachmann
2. Cain
3. Santorum
4. Newt
5. Pawlenty

Who were the other three? They did not impress me.

[Palladin]

FOX should fire this traitor.

[NationalSpotlight]

Pawlenty is not as strong of a candidate when Huckabee ran. Pawlenty has no shot of winning Iowa unless Bachmann and Perry make major mistakes. I cannot see Pawlenty replacing Huckabee. The nomination is going to come down to Bachmann, Perry, and Romney.

[Palladin]

Bret Baier is another liberal masquerading as a conservative. I know who he hangs out with in D.C. Bret is a phony.

[Eaker]

So obamacare is great as long as the State mandates it?

Also I guess you are okay with gun bans and abortion?

Not to mention that Mitt has flip flopped on every single issue?

[upsdriver]

Go Romney!

The higher he is above this crowd, the better chance Sarah Palin will jump into the race.

[Raider Sam]

Has Baier portrayed himself as a conservative?

[Winstons Julia]

“I was saddened that Pawlenty and Bachmann chose to go at each other.”

IIRC it was the Pawlenty camp that brought up Bachmann’s migraines, wasn’t it?

Many people already have their pick for prez. I was looking to try to form my own opinions last night. It was an interesting debate...but in the Pawlenty/Bachmann exchange, Pawlenty came off as a weasel.

[Godzilla]

Unscathed because he doesn’t stick his neck out on issues - has waited until others have done all the heavy lifting for him.

[Sudetenland]

Yes, he did. I think Pawlenty came loaded for bear. I think he was stung by all of the flack he received over his failure to pursue his “Obamney Care” shot, so the had made the decision that to appear strong, he was going to go negative. I think he effectively removed himself from contention with that sad performance.

[FreedomProtector]

Romney’s answer on healthcare was absolutely horrible....
