I think Mathews is just trying to fish up quotes that Democrats can use against whichever Republican gets the nomination.

[United Freeping States]

GO HUNTER GO! Looking Presidential.

My thoughts exactly. Still prefer Fred Thompson, though.

Long time reader — just finally set up an account tonight.

How on earth do you guys keep up with these live threads? I’m stuck on a modem and just can’t keep up, lol.

BTW, I liked Romney’s comment about polls.

[hole_n_one]

That would have been hysterical!

[RasterMaster]

ROFL! Seems to be a campaign commercial for John McLame.

Prediction: Paul’s the first to drop out.

[no dems]

He is the Dennis Kucinich of the GOP but he is well liked by the Libertarian-leaning Pubbies.

Some of his ideas are very good.

[alicewonders]

Well, they skipped Rudy.

[johnny7]

Matthews is starting to editorialize his questions.

LOL... where's David Schuster... ?

[Laverne]

McCain is quite nervous, that surprises me. He is relaxing a little now.

[spectre]

Huckabee is a good debater, and a smooth talking ExPreacher.

Listen to what he says, not how he says it..

I thought Brownback was rambly...

I agree. Purely on form, he's coming off the worst of all of them to me. Not too great on substance, either. I already see him as one of the bigger losers in this debate.

Of course, Brownback's loss could be Hunter's gain.

[La Enchiladita]

Don’t count McCain out... he wants this.

[Raquel]

“Did Hunter get a question?”

One quick one, so far.

[SoCalPol]

Paul’s passion is no differnt than George Soros, or any of the other far left anti war dimwits

[Vision]

Tancredo...not looking focused.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Chrissy sure did.

[SE Mom]

Just got back- so far I’m hearing a lot more grownups here than at the Dem debate.

[don-o]

I’m stuck on a modem and just can’t keep up, lol.

Bless your heart.

Massachusetts can elect a Republican governor, he’s not the first but only to battle the dems....Kenned, Kerry, etc.!
