I still like Mrs. Bachmann
Michelle is easy on the eyes.
Good, practical answers. She knows what the folks out there are thinking; how they are suffering from Boy Obama’s policies.
I wish Michelle had worn something other than black. She looks like the rest of the dudes on stage.
Ron Paul sure looks “nervous”.
Huntsman’s amateur hour. I’d rather have Roemer.
“This questions are all FRAMED AS ATTACKS ON THE GOP CANDIDATES!”
EXACTLY! I think Gov. Perry is holding up well, though! That brief spar between him and Mitt was hilarious!
The candidates are doing well, why whine about liberal bias. If they can do well with biased questioning that would speak well of their abiity to confront Obama. Look at it as a gift the MSM is training them for combat.
Howdy from the Jersey Shore. You got a favorite yet?
Williams makes it sound like Paul should be shot with a tranquilizer and hauled off to the funny farm.
Williams isn’t good as a moderator. He’s trying to editorialize too much instead of just ask questions and ‘moderate’ the debate.
Huntsman’s fake tan matches his tie. And I read recently that Bachmann paid over $2K for THAT hairstyle. Her hair looks terrible.
It’s supposed to be on Politico, but I can’t find it there. Go to http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/09/gop-debate-live-stream/
Admin Mod, please put this link in the article.
Cain has such common sense. It’s early in the political season and anybody’s game right now. I am very much undecided, but he gets my attention every time he speaks.
Brian Williams getting into a debate with Ron Paul.
Some moderator. He thinks it’s the Brian Show.
Ugh...Newter next.
Perry is having a good time!
Too bad Brian Williams has never questioned Zero like he is going after these candidates!
“Anyway, I think Ill just watch BOR. Thats how much I hate MSNBC.”
I know, I hate pmsnbc as well.
BOR, Sean and Greta will all be on again at 10pm, 11, and 12, respectively. That’s when I’ll check them out (in between Property Brothers on HGTV, that is :-)))
