You know it’s a bad debate when Ron Paul is the funniest, most charming one on the stage!

[onyx]

Romney doesn’t know crap about his own ionvestments?

LIAR!!!!!

[show]

Mitt: Romney, Dog ate my homework.

NEWT - NAILING the NASA question.

GO NEWT !!!!

[ClearCase_guy]

Didn't Obama's doctor release a statement, and not the actual medical records?

Full text: "He's fine." [/jk]

[Kenny]

Guess he’s not gonna ask Mitt about Obamacare. Especially since Mitt said no way no how.

[bgill]

I’m booing Wolf. Who/what does he think a moderator is?

[Freedom56v2]

I’d give a hundred bucks to see someone slap blitzer

---

I see your offer and double it!

How come Blitzer and no one else demands barry’s health records yet wants all GOP candidates to disclose?!?!?

Media bias!

[ez]

This is a little like the last debate. The questions steer Newt and Mitt to their worst battles and allow Santorum and Paul to look more sober. That makes them all look like they can’t get any traction. They’re all going to get a B- again tonight.

[Jane Long]

47 Million Americans on Food Stamps, Highest Average gas prices EVER, lowest New Homes sales EVER, and Blitzer insists on asking questions that have NOTHING TO DO WITH RUNNING AMERICA????

Exactly!!! Newt....get on the ball and bring these topics up!!!!!! Hurry!!!

[Mountain Mary]

Thanks Kristinn.
The pix are great and so are you for carrying our message to the candidate.
He heard you. He really heard you!!!!

[Danae]

He will never release a thing until seriously threatened with prison

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

The old Newt is showing up with a knowledgeable discussion of the space program. Impressive.

Now don't let Romney drag this back into the gutter.

[rodguy911]

In broadcating we call it a mike hog.Still no key important questions— energy, economy, housing—WTF!

[CitizenM]

There is no doubt that Santorum is the most conservative, most honorable man on the stage. I admire him tremendously. But the question in America will be: Who seems to be the strongest leader, most able to fight our enemies - and - keep political opposition in DC at a minimum? I wish all these traits were combined in one candidate. It would be nice if Santorum seemed as aggressive as Newt. I think that would satisfy all our desires.

[Southnsoul]

I will NEVER vote for Romney either.

[CASchack]

Newt has great command of facts.

“Frankly the only two questions worthy to be asked were from the audience members”

Right. No “PonyTail Guys” in this audience!

[Leep]

I’m calling it for Santorum, tonight.

He may be able to ride for 25miles, can he guarantee he won't get cancer and die ~no. At his age there are no guarantees.
