This hammering of the economy, which has record lows of unemployment, low inflation, and a record highs in the stock market is nonsense. I would say that the Reps have done a pretty good job on the economy.

[khnyny]

Romney is correct when he describes becoming energy efficient and developing new technologies as a unique American opportunity at this time in history. He “gets it”. He’s optimistic and sees opportunities in the future. IMHO, Romney brings a lot of business common sense to the table.

You are making this way harder than it needs to be. Study the candidates' position. Find the candidate that agrees with you most of the time. On primary day, go vote for him. If he wins the nomination, vote for him in the general election. If he does not, and you can support the nominee, then vote for him.

If you can't make that decision by yourself... then perhaps you shouldn't be voting.

PS - In your decision making... decide what is more important. The cosmetics of a candidate. (Pretty hair, face, and voice) or the positions of a candidate.

There you go.

PSS - You do not have to decide this moment. It's not like picking out an ice cream flavor. You have to the date of your primary.

I’m liking Romney and Hunter alot in this debate.

[mnehring]

He said they spike, although we’ve seen an increase, we are not seeing a spike when keeping the dollar level flat.

[darkangel82]

Any Republican would be.

Fred is the only one with a Reaganesque understanding and response in his answers.

I have only had time to skim the responses.. look forward to seeing the debate tonight. Fred does indeed seem to have at his core a belief in doing what's right for America and a deep respect for limited government and the Constitution.

Hucksterbee is for amnesty. I live in San Diego and that would be a disaster.

For those in flyover country like Huck, he has no clue

That train jumped the tracks long ago!

It was when they were discussing what they’d do prior to attacking another nation. Confer with Congress and get approval, or not? McCain says this is closer to reality than we’re saying right now. (Words to that effect.) I thought it a moment of spontaneous honesty.

[rodguy911]

Of course SE MOM not even a contest.!!

[AmericanMade1776]

Yeah, I am sick to death of doom and gloom...

[traditional1]

Giuliani is doing great attacking Hillary. Chris Matthews actually cut him off, as he couldn’t take it!

[EveningStar]

5 of the 9 candidates on that stage are going nowhere. I doubt that any of them will be picked as running mates either.

[Pistolshot]

Even a skunk thinks his smell is not bad.

[eeevil conservative]

Duncan just hit another HOMERUN!!!

;-)

Not to quibble, but I believe that the title is the highest non-unique title; e.g., Mr. Clinton should be addressed as Governor Clinton, as that is the highest non-unique office he has held.

[AmericanMade1776]

I think , America was built on optimism, and hope! Hey even Brownbeck is catching on.
