This is an old charge. Perry and Mitt both come off looking bad in this exchange. The winner as these two tear each other apart: Cain.

Mitt: It's been a couple of tough debates for you Rick. I can understand why you're frustrated.

Boos.

Oh that’s rich, Perry is pandering on illegals. Embarrassing. Condescending Romney and Perry go at it like two high school cheerleaders hair-pulling over the quarterback. Those two deserve each other.

Newt is in such control of the facts he is amazing. This man knows how to debate. He just put the whip cream on the crap sunday Romney had to eat from Santorum. Big government, bureaucratic solution from Massachusettes. It is a lovely thing to see Romney taking the beat down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am liking Newt more and more with each debate. He does know his facts, that’s for sure.

Mitt is really getting rattled tonight.

First from Santorum. Now from Perry.

Mitt is really on the defensive.

Just don’t give me a zot button. I’d push the button that drops the trap door under Romney’s podium in a NY second.
