did I miss the questions about an out of control EPA?????

[VastRWCon]

I agree, WTF kind of question is that??? Who Friggen cares about the future FLOTUS the WON we have now is probably the worst we will ever have so anything would be better than the first wookie. To Save Mittens from actual debate? Ha, CNN you suck.

[this is my country]

Now we have the pandering Hispanic question.

Ron Paul sounds like a Johnny one note. The question had nothing to do with war.

[fml]

He did great - smacked romney down

[kabar]

Agree with you Rod. The candidates are being baited to fight one another and the major challenges facing this nation are being ignored along with the Obama policies that are destroying the country.

Who gives a damn who will be the best first lady? This is reality show television.

NEWT is winning this Debate. Santorum is his wing man.

Would support Santorum as VP. They work well together.

But, NEWT has won this Debate and is the LEADER on stage. RS is the wingman and he’s doing a good job as a wingman and maybe could be the VP or the so many other positions.

Newt/ Santorum

I don’t think that you are a bit fricking funny.

[FreedomProtector]

Mit sounded like a liar!

Slick Mittens is the definition of a liar....

[Ron C.]

Stupid question crap - 'why wife would be best firstlady!'

Letting media do this stuff should be outlawed!

[AFPhys]

Agreed - if Santorum had said “it IS worth getting angry about, and not only that, I am SCARED for my country because of this issue” he would have completed the coup.

[Fresh Wind]

He didn’t do the question before the break, he just teased it, maybe to keep viewers from drifting away from this idiotic debate?

[bray]

Uncle Fester doesn’t add anything to these debates anymore than comedic relief.

[MissMagnolia]

That one is going to leave a mark on Romney.

[kjam22]

you’re right... that’s the perfect answer

[kevao]

Wolfie’s assignment tonight was to savage Gingrich and to make sure no one lays a glove on Mittens. He obviously was unprepared for Santorum to come on like that. LOL!

You know Wolfie’s getting worried whenever he says, “Let’s move on.”

[Vision]

Yea this is an embarrassment.

[Biblebelter]

Santorum is like one of those guys in a Coen brothers movie such as Blood Simple Oh Brother Where Art Thou, they come up crawling out of the earth. Ricky helped himself tonight.

The question is who did he take more votes away from the Newster or Mittens?

[ConservativeInPA]

Wow. What/where is the evidence? If true, folks ought to know.

[Proud2BeRight]

Sure is obvious that CNN has structured this to keep the failures of their candidate, Obama, from being a big part of the discussion.

[bgill]

A more relevant question would be would your dog enjoy the WH grounds.
