Are they getting their make-up refreshed now, wiping their brows??

[Vision]

The entire audience just missed Santorum’s joke.

They're Washingtonians.

<< Newt seems confused.>>

He was trying to show that they were so far off the topic at hand. Then he brought it back and hit it out of the park. It’s focus.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

And what is with all these commercials???

Other networks didn’t have all these interruptions.

[Winstons Julia]

No... Paul looks like Jeff Dunham’s puppet ... you know the one...

[Yaelle]

Especially Cain is shut out. He only answered once since his intro.

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

Newt was confused about three things:

1) About the rules;

2) About what particular topic they were debating;

3) Um....it was.....sorry I can’t rememer the third one. Oooops.

Bell rang back in the ring!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Romney still gets more time then he needs.

Then there's Paul whining about getting a chance to respond.

[riri]

And yet Mitt is sweating too and nary a word...

[caww]

Newt nails it!

Yes he did...you don’t cater to these islamic muslims nor their agenda on our nation....I’m sick of politicians who won’t call the islamic threat for what it is.

[icwhatudo]

Wolf calls Cain “Congressman Cain”. His is therefore an idiot who can not be qualified for journalism and his mistake will be replayed again and again and ag....OOOps. He’s not a republican therefore we will not hear about it.

[glock rocks]

LOL. And CNN announced that Woof was going to get aggressive with Newt. HAH!

Nobody on the stage or in the audience can stand up to Newt in real time.

Well that, and Woof is a moron.

[mylife]

[Jane Long]
