By Nate, on January 7th, 2012

Tonight will mark the first of two debates this weekend focused on the New Hampshire Republican primary.

Sunday morning will feature a GOP debate broadcast on NBC at 9am ET (yes, am) but look for more details on that later today.

Air Time: Saturday, January 7th at 9pm ET / 6pm PT on ABC

Live Stream: WMUR and Yahoo! News

Participants: Santorum, Romney, Paul, Perry, Gingrich, Huntsman

Report from WMUR:

[Reagan69]

Santorum just rambles.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Those aren’t the 1% that care about the issue of gay marriage. The conservative gays aren’t pushing gay marriage.

[rodguy911]

Newt has had some great moments in this debate.

[Pravious]

“On Perry’s piggyback of Newt.

Perry is a reactive thinker. Piggybacking is all he knows. “

I noticed that too. A good answer from Perry... before you realize he’s simply repeating what Gingrich said.

[sockmonkey]

Oh come on Perry, don’t be riding on Newt’s coattails like that.

Perry is very aware the effect of the Fed's pulling the money that went to Catholic Charities in TX to help victims of Human Sexual Trafficking.

In San Antonio, this has had an impact already as the police would seek help for these often young victims through the local program for them by the Catholic Church.

The Dem's in the TX legislature & the Republicans are looking for ways via private donations to keep the help coming to these victims.

You will not find a Dem in TX who will complain about Perry on this, nor will you find a Dem in TX complain about all Perry has done for our returning veterans.

[altura]

That was a bold statement by Perry which will either help him a lot or hurt him a lot.

I don’t know which.

[sissyjane]

Santorum just goes on and on and on...

[af_vet_rr]

Newt’s going after the regime big time...no more bowing to Saudi kings! Woo hoo!

Newt impresses me. The other candidates try to focus too narrowly on specific countries or leaders, but Newt's got the right idea - look at the region, look at why we are so heavily tied to the Middle East, try to reduce that reliance and interaction with them.

[simplesimon]

Wasn’t that GLORIOUS ? OMG that was freakin awesome~

[Leep]

Santorum has the stuff..

Sister Wives for Romney

[lahargis]

"I think Perry was talking about sending troops back to Iraq as a security presence."

Yes indeed.

[blueyon]

Rick calls Obama a Chicago Politician LOL

[Utmost Certainty]

Yeah. Newt is the only statesman up there. The rest seem like dingy amateurs to me.

[Reddy]

My husband said we can just get rid of the three on the left.

Huntsman, Paul and Romney.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

What?!? Paul called Barry king?

Now Ronulan is off to mention ping pong. Back bashing the sanctions. Now Santorum doing the final cleanup on the mideast and criticizing Obama. And he just called I amaNutJob EVIL.

Diane ordering another round.

[goodnesswins]

I know a gay guy...he will NOT be voting for Obama...he’s a conservative....yeah....really....course, he does not even know what I know about him....he’s LOW KEY...

[Kryn-Man]

This is not an issue worthy of these debates. Most Americans could give a sh*t about it. These useful idiots in the press have made it an issue and look the other way when a socialist is in th WH.

[Jane Long]

RuPaul wants our military to be there to protect others/Iranians against....pirates??

[mylife]

Ron Paul is going to tell us that the CIA embedded a transmitter in his eyebrow.
