Charles Gibson will moderate the Republican and Democrat debates tonight in New Hampshire, beginning at 7 PM Eastern.
Have at it..
Rudi is correct here.
I like Fred's no nonsense answers, but I see the National Review crowd is all wetting themselves over Romney so I suppose he'll be declared the winner. Sigh....
Of course. Especially the NH media. LOL.
lol
All the irrational nonsense and attacks on Mitt on this forum are enough to make me switch to Mitt from Fred. You jxxks are not doing you case any good.
A while back I asked FReepers on a thread for reasons to support THEIR candidate - as opposed to trying to tear apart the other candidates. Only one person bothered to take up the challenge - for Fred.
One group of Freepers was so nasty that I wrote off their candidate just because of their behavior. I expect some discourse, we’re very different people on this forum, but the personal attacks are over the top.
So Rudy is basically repeating what Fred said.
Its got nothing to do with supply and demand, China and India?
The only difference is most dems have at least moved on and now are complaining we aren’t taking it (re the high price), Paul still thinks we are stealing it..
Rudy911 promoting a government energy program. How about just deregulation?
LMAO You're easily impressed. More importantly, Willard is NO conservative.
“Fred good...needs to focus tighter..”
I don’t think so. His laid-back manner and simple, frank answers are perfect.
A Kennedy.
agree
Yep Fred leads and Rudy follows.
LOL!
ap piece out
Huckabee, Romney square off in debate

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney clashed with Mike Huckabee on foreign policy and John McCain on immigration Saturday night in a high-stakes presidential campaign debate three days before the New Hampshire primary.
“It’s not amnesty,” McCain shot back after Romney criticized his plan for overhauling the immigration system. “You can spend your whole fortune on these attacks ads, my friend, but it’s not true.”
Earlier, Romney criticized Huckabee for having written that the Bush administration was guilty of an “arrogant bunker mentality” on foreign policy.
“Did you read the article before you commented on it,” asked Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor.
“I read the article, the whole article,” shot back Romney.
Romney’s aggressive demeanor reflected the stakes in the wideopen race for the Republican presidential nomination. Huckabee defeated him in the Iowa caucuses on Thursday with an underfunded campaign. Now Romney faces a strong challenge from a resurgent McCain in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary next Tuesday.
Former Sen. Fred Thompson, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Texas Rep. Ron Paul also shared the stage, but they were largely eclipsed for significant portions of the 90-minute debate as Romney, McCain and Huckabee struggled for advantgage.
Romney walked on stage with his first win under his belt, a triumph in the scarcely-contested Wyoming caucuses. The former Massachusetts governor, seeking to become the first Mormon president, said the outcome was “just the beginning.”
A pre-debate poll suggested McCain’s momentum had carried him into a narrow lead over Romney in New Hampshire, and that Huckabee was in third place place. It also suggested he had not yet profited from his victory in Iowa, but the results of an election in one state often take several days to show up in surveys in another state.
Both Huckabee and McCain jabbed at Romney for having changed his position on numerous issues such as abortion, gun control and gay rights.
“You are the candidate of change,” McCain said with a laugh.
And Huckabee, admonished not to characterize Romney’s position on the Iraq war, replied, “which one.”
I have to admit that Rudy is answering this well.
LOL
McCain beat Mitt’s “butt”
I mentioned that to someone earlier today.
They didn’t answer me. LOL
