If he were without his teleprompter every person on the stage could shred Obama in a debate.

I wish Cain would emphasize the domestic job creation of 999 and how it shifts taxes onto foreign production of goods imported

CNN stream sucks just like Anderson Cooper does.

You are funny and right. Cooper is doing NOTHING more than telling one candidate to take a jab at another. Unproductive and harmful to all of the candidates. Even now Santorum and Romney are shouting at each other while Cooper stands there and smiles.

Whiney Santorum is a turnoff, but at least finally someone went at Romney on Romneycare.

Love how Cain doesn’t feel compelled to pile onto Romney re: Romneycare. Damn, he’s got so many of you fooled. Does he come across as informed? Knowledgable? Apples and oranges, over and over? Wow

What game is that? The game where you roll out a plan after everybody else already has? The game where he looks to Sarah Palin for his plans?

This has always been Perry's energy plan Perry AND Palin both agree on this plan.
