Newt is a very good debater.

He knows the game.

He should have paused and said I am not going to let you change the subject just because I made a point that you are uncomfortable answering.

Romney tries to answer what have you done for the cause of conservatism?
Mentions personal achievements and says govt isn’t the only way. In other words, in govt, he’s done zilch.

Williams just put Romney on the spot, asked him what had he contributed to the cause of conservatism. Gave the same opportunity to Gingrich.

Mitt furthered conservatism by having kids?

That's right. He's passed on his conservative genes to his children. /sarcasm. LOL!

My ranking so far...

(out of 4 ****’s)

Newt - **. Looks tired. Let himself get beat up by a Ken doll.
Santorum - * 1/2 - Must have taken some ex-lax since the last debate. He only gets 1 1/2 stars because he could NEVER be tied with Newt, however bad a night Newt has.
Romney - 1/2 * - Looks desperate, creepy and nasty. I don’t like this man.
Paul - 1/2 * - Hard for me to evaluate, because my brain has long since turned off his endless loopy anti-America whining.

Warren Buffet worked for the private sector and raised a family...that doesn’t make him conservative, Milt.

What is up with the audience. BORING>

Its a controlled debate (NBC/Brian Williams) The audience was ORDERED NOT TO RESPONED. True.

Well the nominee better get used to this kind of controlled audience. Probably a test run for Obama’s debates.

Newt should have started by telling the audience we are still a free country and they could applaud him as much and often as possible.

Who the hell is NBC to tell the audience they CAN’T applaud.

Still no mention from Williams of Obama — the incumbent president!

NBC does not pay taxes under Obama. What do you expect.

Great Santorum, go after the others and take Newt’s aim at Obama off track. He’s not that good at this.
