Gardasil. LOVE IT!!! I'm so glad he's getting to SPEAK on these things!

"Would've done it a whole lot different."

[Jane Long]

You betcha ;)

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Mit looks like he just pee’d in his pants in that picture.

[hope]

My gosh.. why the hell do we even allow a contender like Huntsman? I think he has overdosed on caviar.

[McLynnan]

LOL, you’re going to fit right in. Good luck to you.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Perhaps Newt is over regarding being President, but he is and can continue to have a positive impact on the election and on this country and that is why I don’t see him out yet. He is very valuable in these debates, as you so noted.

[ken21]

agree.

wolf is directing ?s against perry.

[Yaelle]

Did Bachmann just say she has 3 children? What about the 38 foster kids?

[mylife]

Bachmann must have wax in her ears.

She didnt hear the part about “opt out”

[RitaOK]

Oooops. Michelle went a little shrill.

[DRey]

He’s saying it again. OPT-OUT!!!! Duh.

[jessduntno]

“Yep, hopefully san fran nan will be gone in 2012 (ok I wish big) but she can still watch from afar. Bachmann needs to go after that position!”

Repeal Obamacare! Speaker food...

[swpa_mom]

everything directed at Perry by Wolf is to give the media soundbites against Perry.

This tells me that the liberal establishment is deeply worried about that handsome guy.

[maggief]

I have no idea why Huntsman is there.

A Mitt plant, perhaps?

[Longbow1969]

And, IMO, Newt knows it, and is on the stage to be the conservative attack dog and point-maker -- knowing full well the others would be too fearful to do the same.

And that (also IMO) makes him one hell of an American patriot.

Yeah, good point and I agree.

[netmilsmom]

Thanks!

[rodguy911]

I never thought it possible that zero would not be the candidate simply because of his race. But if he sinks any lower, and I believe Rush about DNC internals, they have to be bottoming out for the Joker about now,anything is possible.

[Tennessee Nana]

Romney screwed up his nose at Perry earlier

and now he does to Bachman

is he bored ???

[RitaOK]

Bachman is going to get it! Rick, will hit back.

[DRey]

Bachmann...oh dear. She won’t be Perry’s VP.
