I thought Rudy did very well with the Iran question.

Fred Thompson was a no show, he is went to Hollywood.

Romney was hideous tonight. He was so phony. Shame on any true conservative who votes for this man.

Oh great, now McCain is the winner? Kill me now. Fox News is dead to me. Another text message poll? unreal.

I actually thought it was a good debate.

Ron Paul is an anarchist, and anarchists aren’t supposed to run for office.

"Where do they find these people??"

Good question. I don't think I agreed with one thing they said. Then again, they aren't that well informed.

[LeoWindhorse]

I hope they reply this again in an hour or two
I’d like to watch it again

[HonestConservative]

where, I missed it.

[Sir Hailstone]

apparently its by text message only. I’m not spending a quarter to send a text message.

“This Luntz guy on HC is a waste of time.”

Actually, I’ve found him to be rather interesting.

Time for the follow-up.. no one in the room thought the candidates did well except McCain.. Well, at least they aren’t saying Paul.. but they don’t look like they are drinking so they wouldn’t..
No one not toking would say so.

[PAR35]

.I’d sleep well with him in the Oval Office.

You want to think about that phrasing a bit?

[floriduh voter]

Polling the cafe is a farce. They don’t have a better tv picture than anyone else. They picked McCain who needs to drop out.

[Fudd Fan]

I can’t find any place on the FNC website to vote either. Seems all they want are text-msg votes. eeuusshh

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Not to sound like a conspiracy nut, but this whole debate thing tonight was suspect. The questions were more like attacks and now this focus group with the reporter specifically dethroning Guiliani. Weird.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I thought tonight’s winners were Hunter and Rudy.

And, this really surprises me ;-)

[Blue Highway]

I’m surprised they didn’t have an empty podium with a cardboard cutout of Fred at the debate. Still would have been more impressive than the other shills.

[billbears]

Some people just flat-out want war

While it may appear in the majority in some circles and on Faux News, thankfully the general conservative stance I've seen is moving away from such interventionist policies. As much as the '24' crowd may want our nation to preemptively attack Iran, there's just not that much chance of it.

[clamper1797]

He is looking like a full fool politician.

There I fixed it ...

[RedOhioan]

Im still pissed about the idiot NH GOP chairman making his stupid ass remark about Fred’s 30 second spot.

His little state packed full of Rhino’s does not mean shit in the big picture and I so look forward to Fred winning and idiots likes him ending up looking like limp wristed fools.
