[My Favorite Headache]

WASHINGTON

[DoughtyOne]

That polster Luntz is a dunce.

[Bush gal in LA]

Fred was FANTASTIC!

[gpapa]

It’s about time. For a minute there I thought FR was hacked.

[MaxMax]

/Salute, welcome to Freepers

[Shelayne]

The crowd didn’t like his Iraq answers. Heh.

[jonathanmo]

I predict a 25% point spread !! Thanks goodness he didn’t have more time...I was taking a shot every time he said “empire”

[marinamuffy]

I was wondering the same thing. I thought about texting for Hunter but then I figured Paul would win by a landslide so what’s the use?

[txhurl]

The election has been decided for us.

[bray]

There are 4-5 candidates up there that can beat HilaryCare. She is her worst enemy.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[I'll be your Huckleberry]

What a wonderful group of leaders (well - with one obvious exception).

We should take great pride in the quality of men who stand with us.

I have not chosen who will get my vote, but I feel much more at peace with my choices.

Huck

[Rational Thought]

Probably 100 or so...

[Jet Jaguar]

If I was a Paulette, I would not vote after his performance tonight.

He was missing two cylinders.

[don-o]

Sean dons Rudy kneepads. Sickening

[George W. Bush]

I hate to say it but the leftwing mayor presented the smoothest political product.

It's very clear that his campaign staff is doing its prep work and he's putting in the time to prepare his answers, parse things well, not merely respond to questions but to tie his answers directly to major Republican political themes and to attacks on Democrats.

It's hateful to admit it but Rudi did himself the most good. He has a good campaign machine, a relentlessly disciplined candidate. Like Hillary is now, copy how George W. Bush was in 2000. It's a winning model in modern politics.

Ah, at least Rudi's demolishing his good debate performance by being himself in his Sean-lovefest. He wasn't smart enough just to leave after the debate.

[txradioguy]

And that’s why I quit listening to Sean’s radio show.

Claimed out of one side of his mouth he hadn’t picked a candidate he liked...apologized for everything Rudy had ever done out the other side of his mouth.

[longtermmemmory]

The MSM is pushing Huckabee in order to split “just enough votes” from thompson to give the nomination to the candidate who is most like Hillary Clinton. Rudy Giuliani is most LIKE Hillary Clinton and therefore easiest for her to beat.

It is the divide and conquer debate.

Did Thompson just insult Murtha?!

[NordP]

Noticed that too.

Now THIS is the voice (at the end) of Thompson that I think everyone wanted to hear--the most confident answer he's given all night. He needs to be able to rattle off concise poignant sentences--shoot from the hip. I love W, but now we need someone who can speak well, too. Someone who will be STRONG in the debate against Hillary--very strong, right, and confident. The answer--right there and ready to come out, and come out well.

Romney had such a confidence of speech - great job. HUNTER continues to impress me--I love his strength of character and knowledge of foreign affairs, in his answers. Rudy would give 'ol Hill a run for her money.

To me, it's up to Hunter, Romney, Thompson, and Guiliani to win the primary.

[alicewonders]

Yeah. The big money people are behind Rudy & FOX is in on the fix.

[BCrago66]

OK, live stream’s clock is running, but no audio and a green screen. This is almost as bad as the suffering of the people of Darfur.
