Mit Romney is an excellent leader and manager. He is top-drawer at organizing himeslf and what must be done with others.

So true.

Romney has a record of superior and sustained executive accomplishment that the others can't touch. For over 30 years he has proven time and time again that he can organize and lead others to get the impossible done, under budget, ahead of deadlines.

Those who can't see this, don't want to see it.

Sorry, just saw it... yep.

Brilliant! Hunter - global warming and the need to be energy independent gives us a great opportunity...

[jaycee]

Because the folks asking the questions are crazy Democrats who dislike Republicans “to the devil’s guts”. That saying came from a friend of mine. She said when she was little she couldn’t say bad words (just like the rest of us at that age” and she said they made that up because it wasn’t cursing but as close as they could get. I always laugh at that phrase. I feel that way about Spitting Matthews and Keith Olderman.

“Mitt is a hunk!”

Giggle...

I agree.

shhh... this is series business.

PS.. Duncan’s not bad either.

[TomGuy]

McCain fails to mention that he was working with Senator Kennedy last session on the Comprehensive Immigration bill.

He has, this session, backed off being associated with it.

And Duncan Hunter just confirmed he’s a tinkering “conservative,” not a real one.

hunter alert!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, heard that. He is the only pro-choicer in the whole group, though Gilmore said he thinks abortion in the first trimester (I think) is ok. But he signed prolife measures while Gov of Va.

Oh sorry missed Hunter's answer just now - about energy - did he advocate drilling in Anwar?

[Inspectorette]

we had totally overlooked a drinking game for this debate, wonder if it’s too late. Never too late - in fact, hubby is pouring my glass of Chardonnay even as I type this ;-)

Question about Al Gore’s propaganda film. These are all libs asking questions.

[newzjunkey]

Nothing wrong with wanting it. You can bring the line item veto in as an amendment if necessary.

[TheDoctorNoh]

Shoot, I wish Hunter would have just said “I wouldn’t watch garbage like that Al Gore movie” and leave it at that.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Rudy is the BUT guy -

Quote of the night!

[Vision]

How do you figure?

[AliVeritas]

[plain talk]

Ron Paul is even sounding like Dennis Kucinich.

I have no idea why Ron Paul is even on that stage. Same for a few others that are just taking time away from debate between the viable candidates.

[Reagan Man]

EV!
Rooty the abortionist! ;^)

Bottom line: No president will ever ban abortion. I don’t think the Supreme Court will ever ban abortion either. And I even doubt there’s a state that will make it illegal either. Women will always have the right to choose, IMHO. Don’t flame me, I just believe that to be the truth.
