Hey Cal, for the past few yrs or more have been trying to tell all that R. Paul is no different thea the left wing loons on the war. I hope some after hearing him now understand he is as I said earlier, he is no different than Michael Moore

Since Ron Paul thinks the US deserved 9/11, he should be taken to the top of the Sears Tower, lit on fire and pushed off.

As he's plunging toward the pavement, maybe he'll change his viewpoints.

Like it or not - tomorrow all the news will be about Rudy jumping down Paul’s throat.

Hillary wants to run against Rudy, he insulates her from Slick Willie's "issues" since he's got most of the same.

“Well, Ron Paul just did something to make me cringe - he just gave Giuliani a huge bump in credibility with those “let’s try to understand the terrorists and give them what they want so they’ll leave us alone - let’s play nice” - bah. And Giuliani gets the applause line as a result.”

People say Wrong Party Ronnie is a true conservative....he sounds more like a true pussy liberal to me.

[Tancredo] is getting better, but he is very nervous

The survival of our nation is at stake in these debates. Sane people MUST be shaking in their boots right now.

you expressed that very well.

I just think if you look at the reality of the abortion issue....its much more difficult if you throw everyone in prison or make them felons...if they have an abortion or help someone to have it.

Rudy has the highlight of the debate - no doubt.

I agree, with Huckabee's Breck Girl in a beauty shop comment, a close second.

I didn’t hear any of the spin from Rudy come out of Paul’s mouth. You people want to hear Paul say that Bin Laden was right, when what he said was listening to why Bin Laden attacked and Bin Laden’s responses to OUR attacks is useful. Is it not?

You can beat your chest about Paul all you want, but he did not blame 9/11 on America as Rudy pretends...Paul simply said that we need to know and understand the reasons behind the attack.

I’m still for Rudy, but Hunter is impressive. He may be the sleeper.

It seemed Mitt Romney was talking in circles.

I'll give credit where credit is due there. Rudy just helped his campaign big time. He chewed the carpet at the exact right time, when the other candidates couldn't be bothered. The guy was damn near foaming at the mouth, and rightly so.

Won't be enough in the long run, of course.

As for the rest, I'll say again that they're all looking much better than last time, except for Brownback. Brownback only seems comfortable when speaking about abortion and other pro-life issues. Good for him, but he needs to extend that conviction to other issues if he wants a chance.

Even Tancredo is looking much more focused than last time, though there are still serious rough edges.
