TPaw asked about a "federal right to work law" and he supports it.

Newt asked about demonization of unions. Gingrich talking about NLRB and Boeing. He wants to eliminated NLRB.

Cain supports Newt's comments on NLRB.

WTH? Heading into breaktime, King asked Santorum "Leno or Conan?" Santorum said probably Leno but watches neither.

Cain actually answers the question directly then stops. A couple of the others would keep talking ‘til the lights got shut off.

I agree with your assessment. Gingrich sounds pretty darn good for someone who lost his mind on global warming and personal problems and has zero chance of winning the Presidency. Perhaps he can be useful in the debates.

“Bachmann is doing well. Cain’s responses have been good. So has Santorum.”

All are my favorites of the declared candidates.

This is the dumbest “debate” I have ever seen. The panel isn’t being allowed to answer without annoying interruption.

Did he really ask that?

He deserves to be set adrift on an iceberg.

WHAT CNN WILL NEVER COVER:

Romney is THE GOP spoiler.
The man behind the carpetbagging flipflop-RINO
as he imposes his RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
may be a convicted felon in hours
as the case went before the jury today.

That’s what I was thinking! I think it’s King and it is so annoying to hear him mutter something unintelligible during each answer. Maybe it’s a time thing but it sounds rude and condescending!

Who cares indeed, but question is to mark off how isn’t “cool”.

Maybe a good come-back would be something like “Well, let me ask you a similar but darker question: ‘Paris Hilton or Anthony Weiner?’”
