A RINO gets to ask a question about how to appease RINOs. Bachmann first to stand up to the Tea Party Bashing Media.

Pawlenty did well attacking Mitt, but Mitt's rebuttal was strong, IMHO.

On the other hand, Pubbie from New Hampshire wants GOP main stream moderates. A real New England pubbie (RINO)!

One thing that is really starting to tick me off is Cooper. A canidate answsers with more than three words and he is “ah-ah-ah-ah” to cut them off.

she is about to announce so its just a formality. She is in. In any event a nobody named Heard doesn’t belong up there.

A mainstream republican is not a real republican.

Cain - will be a president who does what’s right rather than what’s politically right.

Woohoo!!!!

About 5 minutes ago Christine O’Donnell tweeted ‘Impressive response from Romney’. What? I haven’t heard one impressive response from him yet.

Here’s my impression of the debate so far:

Candidate: I will...

King: *interrupts candidate so that the candidate cannot even come close to finishing his or her response*

Although I do not like Mitt, I would rather these candidates really hammer BO than each other.
