Ack! No jobs plan Gov Perry. =(
He’s former Governor of New Mexico. He was in the first spring debate and is at 1% in the polls.
HA!
Perry stumbled on the jobs question.
The debate audio feed is just terrible.
Completely underwhelmed by them all. I want to vote for someboday not against somebody....
Romney sidesteps the question about criticism of his 59 point plan and talks about small business
Romney is coming out STRONG
I want to vote against Romney.
Duncan Hunter was bringing up China in the 2008 debates.
Romney much stronger than Perry in the first go-around. We need Sarah Palin to get into this thing!
Bad echo there
Perry reply was not impressive.
wow Perry stumbled, Mitt’s on fire on that one.
How do you stumble on a jobs question?
Is it me .... or does Romney sound manic....desperate?
Milt is laying it out pretty well. Has a “numbered” plan.
Romney’s scoring points.
Same here. He could have been so much more forceful, and said “People are moving to Texas to work and open businesses. I don’t need a plan...I’m doin’ it!”
He’s always strong in debates. I hate it.
