You don’t think so, but Intrade results aren’t based upon what you think. It’s the closest thing I can find to an unbiased tracking system.
Because he did not have to WOW anybody and he did'nt, to show his that merely his presence on the stage makes him equally competitive with the "frontrunners" Giuliani and Romney.
Yes. It's commonly known universal sign language for "Chrissy Matthews is a dribbling idiot."
For a man 60-plus years of age, Matthews can come off like a real punk.
He’s answering somebody in a studio. The stream is just showing the raw footage from his end. Now somebody else is on stage waiting for his cue.
Oh, and I forgot to add, that if it were what I think, naturally I think Hunter won.
I wasn’t speaking for him ... just relaying information.
However - to quote Jim Rob directly ...

Well, I’ll put it this way. FR is an independent pro-America, pro defense, pro-military conservative grassroots activism organization. The successful prosecution of this war is very important to the vast majority of our members. Many of our chapters and our members protest against the antiwar moonbats every chance they get. Many of our members are veterans or have family members in the service. We respect and support our commander-in-chief, our troops, and their mission. We believe that the antiwar moonbats are actually giving aid and comfort to the enemy, ie, committing acts of treason. Their treasonous activities demoralizes our troops, wears down the public’s will to wage war and emboldens the enemy. Knowing all of this you and the other antiwar Ron Paul supporters are working at cross odds to our activism and troop support efforts. That pisses off a lot of our members and causes a lot of unnecessary strife and friction within our organization.
Let’s say that Free Republic co-sponsors a national rally in DC where we have 10,000 conservative veterans, patriots, FReepers, etc, all carrying support the troops signs, God Bless America signs, service flags, American flags, etc, and all present on our side are obviously supporting the troops and the war effort. And we’re counter protesting against a larger group of brainwashed antiwar moonbat students and grungy old hippies reliving their Hanoi Jane antiwar glory days. And all of them are carrying “No More War,” “Bring the Troops Home” and “Impeach Bush” signs and chanting slogans against Bush, against the war, against our troops, etc. And you and a group of hundreds of Ron Paul supporters show up determined to join the protest. Question is, which side do you join?

When I clicked on the link, I just went to the site at the top and erased the last few words. That worked.
Mentioning that Ron Pat Paulson is a kook gets you an automatic ticket from the Redundancy Police.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Selling your ideas as POTUS is part of the job. Reagan was good at it, Bush (even though he’s right in his views) is not. Having vision and then educating and convincing people of your vision is, in practical terms, very important.

Many warming unexpectedly to Clinton
CONCORD, N.H. - Don Schwartz, who describes himself as "a super-Deaniac progressive type," decided to back Hillary Clinton - whose centrist views, he concedes, do not necessarily match his own - for a simple reason. He wanted, finally, to be with a winner.
Goober says best part of debate was between Romney and Rudy about taxes “He lagged, I lead” and Romney says baloney...
Don't be so paranoid.
She doesn’t dress like that daily?
guilty! LOL
Mitt won this one hands down.
Still doesn’t explain how he “controlled the debate.” Nobody candidate “controlled the debate.”
Nobody candidate ==>> No candidate
That is a pretty cowardly answer. LOL!
