Debate starts at 8 am CT (9 am ET/ 6 am PT) * check local stations for broadcast time in your area *
Candidates participating
I’m searching for the same info. Wasn’t here in time to watch this and am reading back through the thread but would like to see it for myself. Would prefer it with fewer candidates and Thompson included.
To be fair, there's a first time for everything.
Ron Paul
6,407
Mitt Romney
1,154
Mike Huckabee
1,039
Rudy Giuliani
919
Tom Tancredo
274
John McCain
226
Duncan Hunter
110
Tommy Thompson
67
Sam Brownback
64
Basically, what this poll means is that Romney won the debate and Ron Paul is once more being pumped up by his urchins.
*sigh*
I’ll be happy when he drops out just to be rid of his nutjobs. I can appreciate enthusiasm, but when it becomes obnoxious and just downright kooky, I’ve lost all respect.
Has anyone seen a replay of the debate listed on any channel for later today?
The Walmart health care is nurses and 15 minute visits.
Glad to see you agree with me. That's a first!
Well, as my dad says, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Guess your dad would know you best.
He always does say that about me, you are correct.
So you’re no better than a broken clock. LOL
I wouldn’t brag about it.
That was the best line of the debate unfortunately for him there were other people talking when he said that line. I loved when during the last question they were all asked to say what they're biggest mistake was (of course they would throw in a dopey youtube question like that). Guliani said basically "you want me to list my personal mistakes in 30 seconds." LOL!
Well, I accentuate the positive whenever I can.
My schedule for Ames sounds like a lot more fun! LOL.
Yes.
According to CSPAN's website they will show it again at 6:30PM.
Not sure if this is a rerun.
But for me;
‘Road to the White House
This Sunday, Aug. 5
Republican Presidential debate sponsored by ABC News and WOI-TV on CSPAN at 9pm & 6pm ET/PT’, will be on C-SPAN at 5:30.

Being no better than a broken clock is not what I call accentuating the positive. Try eliminating the negative, it might work better for you.
“I watched the debate. Sometimes I just listened with my eyes closed because they were tired. I thought Hunter did pretty well. It seems to me that he recieved the least amount of time. Maybe Im wrong. I know I counted him being skipped at least twice. I clicked on the link you provided for ABC, but it said error when I clicked on Hunter and tried to proceed. Im going to check out ABC for myself.
Ron Paul brought his hoard of poll spammers with him who cheered when he said he would bring all the troops home. He came off like Mike Gravel in his rock in the water video to me. I can say I probably wouldnt vote for him if he was the GOP nominee.”
Somebody actually timed the first debate and Hunter received the least amount of time. It seems like he always does, and that’s so frustrating.
When you said: “I clicked on the link you provided for ABC, but it said error when I clicked on Hunter and tried to proceed.” that is NOTEWORTHY.
I have to agree with you. If Thompson actually will stand up and say something to better present his views, then I think I could get behind him.
But for all I’ve seen right now, I’m just seeing people, many on FR, who are enamored with his screen presence and image. Give me some substance and give it soon.
