And THAT is why Cain said “like someone said” rather than referring to Romney by name. Cain is smarter than people give him credit for.

[Arcy]

I can’t wait to see NEWT take on Obama in one of those debates. The first one should be on pay-per-view. It would raise enough money to pay off the national debt.

[South40]

The crawler going across the bottom said: Newt thinks all these debate moderators are morons...he’s right.

[Velveeta]

Romney looks sweaty, sickly and pale to me tonight.

[Gator113]

Me too.... GO NEWT GO.....

[petercooper]

Would it be sexual harassment if Santorum gave Maria a wedgie?

[CynicalBear]

>> Does anyone else think Romney looks like he’s been hitting the bottle lately?<<

There’s something about him tonight for sure. I think he knows he’s being slapped nicely.

[bray]

Its tough when you are nothing but eye candy and you get exposed in front of the nation, but enough about Cramer.

[preamble]

I agree about Santorum.

He could use his experience to let the voters know he is perceptive
and sees ahead for crisis (good quality in a President).

However, he sounds like Bruce Springsteen’s song Glory Days
about a middle age guy who was a star baseball player in HS

[mylife]

The debate is a Romney lovefest from the mods.

[mel]

Good. Saying prayers for Herman Cain

[Newton]

y’all are killin’ me with the eyebrow talk!!! I noticed that at the last debate - I thought he was wearing fake eyebrows.... then thought I was seeing things! LOL I don’t wanna have to try and get wine out of my keyboard!!

She is obviously out of her venue, IMHO.When you watch her on her show at 4:00 pm you would not believe its the same woman.

[Allegra]

I have no problem with people who stutter. The difference is I don’t think Romney has a stutter. I believe he does it intentionally to try to act more “everyday” and human.

He sounds kind of like Carville without the southern accent.

[Never on my watch]

Agreed. Media bias; never watching CNBC for financial news again!

I have never watched this channel (knowingly) before - for good reason it turns out. This is one of a thousand channels on my cable package. If one cent of my cable bill goes to this station, it is highway robbery.

[lonevoice]

LOL!!

A poorly moderated debate makes our candidates look bad — like our candidates are complicit in wasting the audiences’ time. Could the debate organizers be setting up lousy debates on purpose to make our candidates look bad?

The only problem with that thinking is that so far the best candidates are doing the best at these debates and helping themseves. Gingrich would not have been gaining if it weren't for these debates.

Any Republican who wants to win the nomination should be able to go into the lion's den and stare the lion down while explaining what they believe. Some candidates are doing that, others are not.

I like Santorum, but I really wish he’d stop with the “I was leading...” stuff. It doesn’t help him and looks really unseemly. A better answer would have been, “we are a country founded on the principle of individual liberty as opposed to centralized control: not just because it works best—which it always does—but because liberty is right and the lack of it is wrong. In the past I pushed for X and Y to deal with problems X’ and Y’ not just to solve a problem, but because of this principle that should underlie everything we do. For this current problem, the effective, the moral, the right solution is Z.”

[kempster]

Think they will have another person come out after this break? Santelli?

[Spunky]

I downloaded quicktime and am now getting it. Only problem is, it is such a small screen and I don’t see anyway to make it bigger. Am I missing something?
