Hosted by Wolf Blitzer at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.
Word is the audience will be "allowed" to participate.
You dismiss it as strawman but it's actually the issue that constituency cares about most when the illegal immigration topic comes up.
Newt's the one who gets specific and takes the policies all the way through addressing the whole issue, not cherry picking to appease activists by stopping at control on the border or employer sanctions. Newt goes there and keeps going.
Halftime score
Santorum A
Paul A-
Newt B
Romney C
Mitt is not doing JACK.
He comes off as DESPERATE and REHEARSED in every question.
That is not appealing. It is a turnoff. Mitt is looking more slimy than ever. Are you sure you’re watching the same debate?
He’s losing his breath and basically needs an Asthma inhaler during the break. It’s a sign of desperation. What how fast he is talking and breathing.
Uh oh a “I’m Entitled, What Can You Do For Me?” question.
Ponytail Girl?
How about MOVE and find a JOB!
Not over yet though.
Exactly, this entire debate has been managed by CNN to avoid any hard question that would reflect badly on the regime.
But, it’s not dopey to the entire north east coast of FL-—Newt has an idea for them...and he expressed it to them.
Newt D+
Mitt ignored Newt’s request for a truce and just keeps attacking him. Romney is a snake. He can’t run on his record so he drags the rest of the candidates down. He is a scumbag!
I can’t vote for Mitt either..he makes my skin crawl, I can’t even look at his face, and I thought I only had that feeling about Obama..I see Romney and Obama exactly the same way, both make me SICK!
Romney is a snark
No dear. Please re-read my post. All of it.
Newt got the boos when he tried to explain balanced budgets at the time were balanced based upon the way bookkeeping was done at the time. Weak answer. Paul was right. National debt went up each year.
Newt not doing well tonight.
Romney has constipation.
God I want to smack that smirck off Mittens face.
Sorry I don't see that at all. I think CNN is in the tank for ratings regardless of who gets to look foolish. A slug fest would insure it and that's their intention.
Well damn. It sure looked like Paul knocked Newt over on the assertion of a balanced budget over 4 years.
CNN again, instantly redirects away from Obama’s run up in debt.. lets take a question from the audience.
Jacksonville a little liberal? you know if it wasnt for space exploration we would not be communicating online; there wouldnt be cell phones; laser surgery. I don’t think allowing private enterprise to invest 90% and the govt 10 to excel space is a bad idea.
ROMNEY IS A SLEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
