I agree - this is cooking right along.

[Inspectorette]

Romney is 60??

Yeah - hard to believe that Fred is only four years older than Mitt. (That said, I'm for Fred.)

Great debate. Well run by the grown-ups.

Haven’t heard any Boortz-Paul discussion myself and I try to keep an eye on his Nuze even if I don’t hear his show.

[jmc813]

Romney’s delivering unbelievably well, but he should have just gotten more specific.

“I said “You know what” ???

Sounds like Bill Clinton...

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Scary...

:(

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Romney seems very comfortable at the podium.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Ron Paul is our Dennis Kucinich.

His fiscal record is much more conservative than your boy Hunter.

Enough with the Paul bashing. If you don't like him, then don't vote for him in the primaries. It's as simple as that.

But comparing him to Kucinich is way out of line.

[jveritas]

The women love him.

[SE Mom]

HAaaaaaaaa...McCain backpeddaling on tax cuts.

They sure did give him a mellow pill tonight!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Ron Paul is our Dennis Kucinich.

He's not OUR Dennis Kucinich!

[Rameumptom]

Mitt = ‘Benchmarks for Washington’. I love it.

[TomGuy]

McCain: Spending is out of control.

[I bet McCain never missed a trip to the trough to get his share of the pork.]

[SC Swamp Fox]

Fox running this really well!

I agree. Wallace and Hume are doing well.

[don-o]

Is Neal Boortz supporting Paul

ooooo! The Neal Boortz???

[Swordfished]

Romney: let’s start talking about benchmarks for the U.S. government, not just Iraq’s government!

[pulaskibush]

He’s had to run in a liberal state.

My e-mail question for Sen McCain

Senator McCain, given your lack of support for strict border enforcement to curb illegals and your assault on free speech with the McCain-Feingold bill, what can you do to convince Goldwater/Reagan Conservatives like myself that you are indeed the candidate I should vote for?

Romney: Re, the economy/spending: "We talk about benchmarks in Iraq....how about benchmarks in Washington?"

Good answer.

[Mr. Blonde]

McCain had the joke planned, but not a good way to work it in.
