I discovered that the band “Three Doors Down” is a lot better with the captioning on and the sound muted.

[arasina]

she must be exhausted. MS is hard on the body.

Neil Cavuto on Fox News Channel struggles with it as well.

[Miss Didi]

I cried and clapped so hard I’m exhausted. :)

[MaxMax]

Three doors Down, heh, rock on

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Go away.

[rodguy911]

Christie was awesome,just turned on to mslsd to hear the madcow blast him for talking too much about himself what a desperate lot they are over there!! They will grab onto anything to protect the deer leader.Hilarious in a way.

[PAR]

Christie was better than average, not great. Anne Romney was unbelievable. Davis was very, very good.

[penelopesire]

He may finally be hearing about some of the backlash against the stunt they pulled today over the rules. There are a lot of folks pretty steamed about it.

I hear the phones have been ringing off the hook at their campaign headquarters.

Hopefully somebody can patch the mess they made up before we lose.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I’m on the monthly and dollar a day. If i’m here after the election I’ll re-up.

[this is my country]

Rachel, what’s her name, just said that, though she likes Chris Christie as an orator, she thought that his speech was all about him, and that she was totally shocked by it...

She's right.

[defconw]

We are good, good as we can be.

[GlockThe Vote]

Ann was amazing.

She would be amazing as a first lady.

[Miss Didi]

Ann’s speech tonight cheered me up after that mess.

[swpa_mom]

juan williams is nuts.

[GlockThe Vote]

I hate Juan. he is a a clown.

[napscoordinator]

I thought he was boring too. I wonder if I was expecting more from him and something more fire and brimstone. I absolutely thought Rick Santorum gave the best speech of the night!

[clintonh8r]

Juan just showed what a turd he really is....

[mojo114]

“Brokejaw trying to deflate it somewhat with his “this election will be about gender” crap”
Yes but that is said so they can keep their small audience of liberals..

[tapatio]

juan williams is nuts.

You got that right!
