He looks pissed, lol

It’s critical that we conservatives don’t settle for a bad candidate.

I agree with that!

Giuliani gets asked "right direction, wrong direction question". He invoked Reagan right out of the shoot.

John McCain (bashing Dingy Harry's declaration of defeat: "If we lost, then who won? Did Al Qaeda win?"

[CounterCounterCulture]

Judging by responses here, looks like TV feed quicker than internet feed(s).

[since1868]

yes he did but getting stronger

[RushCrush]

Tommy needs to re-think the red hair dye (and i’ve seen it in person- it’s worse)

[do the dhue]

HEAR HEAR

Tommy Thompson looks like he’s about to have a bowl movement.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Thompson’s throwing marbles on the floor vis-a-vis Iraq.

Not clear...

[AuntB]

Rudy is going to fix everything with ‘optimism’

M’kay.

[Chena]

Hardly, “stolen from Reagan”. I hope if Fred Thompson enters the race and is in a debate, he won’t be accused of “stealing” anything from Reagan if he sites Reagan.

[mylife]

The same cant be said for Tommy Thompson!

[Vision]

GO HUNTER GO!

Looking Presidential.

[dmw]

Usually is that way.

[La Enchiladita]

Thompson has big ears.

Support the troops...got that right.

[RushCrush]

that was a tongue in cheek response...sorry.

FYI it's spelled 'cite'

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Hi there. Glad to see you here. Am now watching this. Why is it only on MSNBC????

Duncan Hunter talking now - think his answer was probably good but too complicated for most Americans.

[alicewonders]

Hunter knows the military.

[TomGuy]

TThompson wants to give 1/3 of the Iraqi oil money to the populace.

We need to do that here in America. Where’s my oil money? Why should the Iraqis get theirs and we don’t?

[calcowgirl]

Rudy is going to fix everything with ‘optimism’

And "leadership." (My guess)

It worked for Arnold. ;-)

[AliVeritas]

Hmm... I thought there were only three provinces that haven’t been turned over completely anyway... the toughest btw.

I would love someone to talk about the accomplishments of the troops... but then not enough time to find out what they’re about.
