Because Romney is what they would call in MBA school, an “air hog”. He hogs the time and drones on. Then he gasps for air when he gets cornered. Its actually kind of entertaining.

[billys kid]

Newt making the mistake of actually arguing a real issue.

Mr. Mitt just cant stop lying,he knows Newts income from Fannie was corporate not personal a huge difference,plus it seems to be all he has on newt after creating Mittcare a much worse sin iMHO.

[Irish Eyes]

Yup ..Paul is looking good tonight, above the fray.

[jpsb]

not a good nite for Newt, WTF.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Ron Paul has the best response!

He is attacking Fannie and Freddie..where the attack should be! Newt should go after Fannie and Freddie instead of attacking Romney..would be stronger!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Why does Romney get to talk so much more than Newt?

Newt's on the ropes. I hate to say it, but he is. The pre-debate attack seems to have taken the life out of him.

There's time to come back. I'm praying for him.

Why does Romney get to talk so much more than Newt?

The libs want Romney because they know Obama can beat Gordon Gecko Romney.
