Your thinking sounds about right.

More people need to accept the Romney-Cain alliance as truth, because it is.

SP’s endorsement is looming large here.

Cain is my guy too, and I’d vote for Romney over Perry, Perry is another Bush, I believe Romney would actually improve the economy, still, we need an entirely new tax plan, imaging how simple 999 would be for businesses, no army of tax layers, no loopholes, it’s 999 stupid.

Funny picture. But if I looked in the mirror and saw the goodness of a man like George W. Bush then I would be mighty proud of myself.

Wow. That’s brutal.

Yes, it was. And that was a relatively easy question by a cub reporter from a liberal website. How poorly would he do should he debate Obama? Scary.

Tonight, coupled with Palin’s announcement last week now makes no sense.

If you had to draw up a board of all the things that would need to happen for Sarah to waltz in and grab the conservative mantle, all has come to pass and then some. You couldn’t draw it up better.

Something(one) kept her out of this thing. And it wasn’t God or family.

We’ll see.

I think a lot of people are selling Perry short.

You are going to have to tell Perry to stay off of the benzodiazepines even if he is nervous.

I think he took too many a few weeks ago. You could see it in his eyes. He was better tonight, but he has to be on these. And it is not helping him.

I’m not even joking with you. I truly think he is taking these to settle down - it’s just slowing down his delivery.

He is not my first choice, but he is better than his most recent performances. Just my opinion.

In other news, Bachmann looks more like a dingbat every time she is on tv.

Yes, his response was very lame. The more he says 999, the more he looks like a one-trick pony. It’s not even a jobs plan. Cain did a lot of what I call a jive talker.

Perry was very good. There were only a couple of statesmen on that stage and Perry is one of them.

I like Cain best of the field, but the obvious answer was Volcker.

Greenspan was well-thought of in his early years, including the years Cain was on the Fed, and that is probably what Cain was thinking.

Although I like the Volcker of the late 70s and the 80s better than the current Volcker

You lost all credibility when you called Cain America's "favorite uncle'.

I realize you're all in for Perry but racist remarks only serve to damage your reputation and they do nothing to promote La Raza Rick.

Herman now says on the Greta show that his “Bold” 999 plan will level the deficit +5 or -5

I think he is talking smack.

Anyone stay tuned in to watch these snide Bloomberg “reporters” and their take? What a bunch of losers. Trying to shoot holes in the candidates’ figures, saying they “provided no proof”, yet at the same time providing ZERO backup on where the Bloomberg numbers came from.

And then there’s “Andy Hunt” or some such peon. He was asked about the clapping for Ron Paul (and I am not a backer, but still) and made some smarmy comment about how “they cheer for the JV soccer team, too” and that “it didn’t matter”.

I find all of the Bloomberg team repugnant.

The only reason that I would support Rick is to stop Mitt.

Huntsman - Needs to stop gathering "witty" jokes and then trying to interject them into the debates. Bachmann - Can't seem to get over how great she is. She had a fantastic rebuff to 999 and then totally ruined it with the 666 "joke". Santorum and Newt - AWESOME! Cain - Had a couple of slip-ups but this is the first debate where he's been really challenged to defend his plan, overall I think his inexperience is still very evident but he did well. Perry - He did well continuing his message of jobs and his record. He seemed more engaged with the conversation this time. Romney - Was a conservative tonight. He had some good remarks but he was schmoozing all over the place. As usual. Paul - Well, he was just Paul. :)

Of course the 999 plan was brought up and Cain had to respond— because the focus was on the economy!

And to me, at this point, all the other candidate’s ideas and talk sound stale. Without a decent tax overhaul, NONE of them mean a hill of beans. Even Bachman said — by the time kids are grown, they’ll be paying 70% of their income in taxes!! How will we have any sort of growth with this, no matter what other problems we fix.

I’m with Cain/Newt in the top positions. Both seem the most in control, are the absolutely best communicators ... A good combination of economic/business/government and political experience — not to mention the entertainment/likeability factor.

The rest for cabinet positions, except Mitt. He needs to go back to Massachusetts, perhaps, as a healthcare czar or something.

Confirmed my suspicions that he really is angling for Romney's VP slot.
Absolutely. Cain's going nowhere without a ticket on someone else's train.

No organization; no electoral experience.

For all the Cain Trainers, tell me the first state Cain is going to win.

I'm looking for that prediction here.

Tell me a state, not a debate, that Cain is going to win in the Republican Primary.

Not going to find any Congresscritters agreeing to a National Sales Tax. Cain is going to have to find a another trick pony.
