And then there were three and a half minds left campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.
Hosted by CNN's John King at the North Charleston Coliseum.
Oh,yeah. If I gave the impression I like Ron Paul, I don’t. I can’t stand him. He’s crazy.
I was just impressed that Rick Santorum made him look sane for a few minutes. Not good.
I was disappointed on the whole. I see some posters thought Newt made a great closing statement. I hope so.
Sometimes we let our preferences color the reality.
The Republican Party didn’t look good tonight.
I hope Newt wins in South Carolina.
And I still miss Perry (but I don’t have an autographed picture)
IMHO....Our candidate will be NEWT!

I have a LOT of company on this website and on this particular thread. Take it up with the boss. I have his name for ya’, if you need it. He’s not hard to reach near by. Need it?
LOL. I'm afraid the argumentative teenager in the sweater vest will be there too, "come he// or high water."
Newts talking to pooper howser MD.
Excellent debate. Santorum committed sue-side, riding in deperation gear. Newt won.
Newt ripped the cccpnn at the very beginning of the debate by slapping the Left wing media down.
Go Newt! WooHoo!
I thought that Rick made the best points, and won the debate. His problem is that I think a successful national politician must be more clever and nuanced with his words. That’s what I love about Sarah Palin, and my own Senator Pat Toomey. He chooses his words with a mind toward the fact that most voters are dummies. Bob
Santorum’s plan is similar to the immigration reform plans by Gingrich and Perry, except for the part of giving a path to legal status for those here illegally. Perry calling people “heartless” over a path to legal status is the main reason he is out of office.
Newt is so much quicker on his feet than all of them. I would love that in a President.
I gave him/her the name. JimRob. :)
Terrible debate overall, why were no foreign policy questions asked? Way too much time was spent on Jerry Springer level crap.
CNN questions sucked tonight! Totally weak!
Newt supported the REPUBLICAN nominee for that district, not a 3rd party "Conservative" nominee. Don't act as if Dede was supported over another Republican.
Right on! GO NEWT!
1. Newt ..he’s got SC, the Decider State in the bag, thank God
2. Willard ..thinking towards FL after losing IA & SC
3. Rick ..did as well as he could but it’s OVER Sunday morn
4. Paul ..banana nut flake
Part of me wants to like Ron Paul!
Hah, yeah he does that.
I really think his main support comes from young people who want drugs made legal and peaceniks and isolationists.
But he does make way too much sense on occasion.
Well, all I gotta say is that I hope Newt did as well as his supporters here think he did (and I am now one of them).
