CBS won't be doing another debate... Good. Their handling of this one was god-awful.

At least foreign policy won't go totally into the trash heap... AEI/Heritage/CNN debate on November 22 will be on this topic.

Oh. And so as not to disappoint. I agree with Thiessen's assessment of Cain's performance.

Better keep studying Herman... Next time folks might actually be watching...

Enjoyed Newt’s smackdown but to be honest I had a feeling CBS would muck it up

Article's spot on. Ridiculous debate production. The moderators need an attitude adjustment among other things.

“CBS won’t be doing another debate... Good”

I don’t understand why the Stupid Party allows their enemies to run and control their debates in the first place.

Are they really that stupid?

Newt did well in that Pelley exchange but really messed up when he detailed potential covert action in Iran (fine), saying it was all “deniable” (very bad).

I was able to watch the last 30 minutes of the feed without interruption. I was able to see what an anal retentive Pelley is.

So NRO and the rest of GOP media can spin as hard as they want about Cain, here is the impression that is going to stick in most Voters minds.

Didn’t watch it. I’m still boycotting everything on CBS ever since that degenerate bastard Letterman made that ‘rape’ joke about Palin’s 13-year-old daughter, followed by his grotesquely insincere ‘faux’ apology. Still makes my blood boil thinking about it.

CBS wins if very few turn in to watch the republican debate..
They ARE the other team.. not kinda like the other team but full out enemies of republicans..

The republican idiot that allowed CBS MSNBC or CNN to host these events should be SLAPPED HARD... then spat upon..

Scott Pelley was a terrible moderator. He treated the men who might be the next commander in chief like schoolchildren, cutting them off in mid-sentence, lecturing them to answer his questions. He even lectured Newt Gingrich on policy, telling him that killing “terrorist suspects” is “not the rule of law.”

I have to wonder if Scott Pelley ever has made or would make that point to Obama, who actually has killed terrorist suspects.

Man, the CBS streaming sucked deluxe.

Cain looked like a man asea talking about foreign policy . . . again. He seems to be befuddled on international affairs. Perry looked pretty good in comparison, but no one can match Newt.

CBS deserves nothing but criticism and that Scott Pelly . . . what a jerk.

Pelley was the loser, barely edging out Garrett for last place.

I didn't have a problem with the feed at all. You need a good Internet server and I have Verizon FIOS. Maybe some of you need to update. Second, CBS did not lose. It was never going to be a rating bonanza and CBS knew this so they made a business decision and put NCIS after the debate to get some eyeballs. You guys know it is all about money. CBS is a business. You really think that this debate made them any money???? Heck no! Probably what they should have done was do the entire debate on line and not have the debate on TV. If you think this hurt CBS at all, you all are crazy!!! Number one network on TV does not make mistakes.

How badass would it be if Rush Limbaugh hosted an online debate? I bet EIB would have the bandwidth!

He could have some of his radio fill-ins assist with the questions; Mark Steyn would be worth the price of a Rush Premium subscription for access. Heck, Rush could have unique access codes printed on the bottom of Two If By Tea cases as well.

Anything to free us from the liberal mass media hosting these things!

Bad news all around for the lefties!!! “Politico” has now become significantly diminshed as objective, and is now seen strictly as an “Obama” rag, resulting in dropping readership substantially, other then the left-wing, Democrat nutcases!!! CNBC with Harwood, the liberal whimp, Maria, the evil witch, and....Jim Cramer, the raving maniac is also not objective, but crass. And....CBS has managed to fall even lower then Politico and CNBC combined, into its left-wing cesspool iof total imcompetence across the board. What a joke!!!

As for the current status of the GOP group of POTUS potential nominee, IMHO, this race is just getting started. Hang on folks, this run is just getting fired up!!! The debate this evening was terrible. One minute per candidate response is not even close to conclude a candidate;s position. What CBS should have done, was stated that this debate would stricly cover, only the Middle East, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan & Afghanistan. As such since many of these are hooked together, each candidate would be given three minutes to respond per question asked, with no rebuttal!!! And.....the CBS TV breakaway after one hour has destroyed the idiots at CBS forever!!! Worst debate, ever presented in my fifty years of viewing debates since the first Kennedy/Nixon debate in 1960!!! CBS is done. The left-wing, Obamabot media sinks lower into the cesspool where it so rightfully belongs!!!

As for the Pubbie candidates, IMHO, all lived well to fight another day!!! Like I said, folks, this battle is just getting undeway. My advice, ignore the lamestream media totally, and wing it on your own. There are plenty of fair/objective alternate communications sources to refer to and heed, if you so desire!!!

If this had somehow been a “show” highlighting Obama....there would have been a full orchestra, ethereal lighting, Greek columns, adoring crowds, laugh tracks, digitally-created huge crowds....you name it.

God how I hate the MSM.
