Newt sounds good as usual on economic stuff. Too bad he can deteriorated into such a schmuck. Perhaps he can be a useful idiot in some regards in these debates until global warming comes up.

That commentator is irritating.
It’s meant to help John King cut their answers short. Why would the GOP go along with these rules?
ASK ROMNEY THE HEALTH CARE Q
Because the media is opposed to Republicans pretty much across the map.
I was actually hoping shed stay out. This will be interesting.....
She promises to repeal ObamaCare but isn’t answering the question.
RON PAUL DOES SOUND GREAT ON ECONOMICS.
Bachman sounds terrific!
Bump to watch thread instead of giving CNN ratings.
Oh, and Go Cain!
Shes got some points
Yes she did the best job I have heard so far.
Romney needs to step down...now! He needs to just go away. Jerk just said he’d repeal Bo care...hahahahaha
Romney “on my first day in office....”
[yawn]
LOL
Romneyt gonna repeal OCare
ROFLMBO
Looks terrific too.....
Newt being the policy wonk. Calling it a depression again.
Bachmann asked about Todd/Frank, not about jobs. She introduced a measure to repeal.
Ron Paul asked if Obama's done one thing right about the economy. He can't think of anything. He's hitting on the Fed issue and monetary policy.
Now a "freelance journalist" (older redhead) asking about "healthcare" - repeal and replace Obamacare. Bachmann asked about that. She introduced the bill to do it. Says ObamaCare'll kill 800,000 jobs (CBO). Hit Obama on stealing money from Medicare.
King keeps making "tut-tut" noises while they speak. Worst moderator yet!
Mitt’s state got federal subsidies. Careful....
Oh boy. Mitt up taking on ObamaCare. :-)
