Republican Presidential Candidate Debate #14 – Milford, New Hampshire 01/06/08 - Official Discussion Thread

Fox News Channel; Roundtable format

Candidates the gatekeepers are allowing to participating:

• Rudy Giuliani
• Mike Huckabee
• John McCain
• Mitt Romney
• Fred Thompson

[The Pack Knight]

When Fred is asked to sum up why he’s running for President, staving off the “fiscal tsunami” we’re about to face on entitlements is one of the two main points of his campaign. That’s one of the main reasons I support him.

[College Repub]

Fred is LOSING this debate. Even Huckabee is doing better.

[penelopesire]

Not going there....the man has had cancer!

[HonestConservative]

Neither GWB, Clinton won NH.

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

McCain: “I know how to get him (Bin Laudin) and I will get him”. Impressive. Why doesn’t he share that info now with our powers that be NOW?

The fact that McCain doesn't realize that his statement begs your question is clearly shows that he is really stupid.

Fred called out that “change” DNC talking point.
The Titanic changed direction too!

[9YearLurker]

That’s the impression I get too. Then again Novak’s latest column confirms the hints we had seen that Romney’s campaign was responsible for the ‘Fred’s dropping out’ dirty trick.

Still I think they look like the classic Chairman (Fred) and COO (Mitt) in the President/VP slots.

[Petronski]

You’re not much of a conservative.

[rintense]

Mitt doing the senator vs. governor thing. Not sure its answering the question though. A tsunami flare up some where in the world. Hahahaahah! Funny.

[Styria]

There’s one thing I wish Fred would say, and that is to describe the change Obama and the Dims want, versus the change we want. The dims view government as an agent of change. Including social issues, and do it through the courts when the people are against them. We, on the other hand, view freedom as the agent of change. Get the government off our backs.

[stylin19a]

I decide to listen, not watch.

It’s the Mitt/Huck/McCain show.

I like what Thompson has to say, he just has a hard time articulating it.

From just listening, Ronmey sounds great.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

What debate are YOU watching?

[Kozak]

What change? Help!

Spare change. Whatever you have in your wallet.

Excuse me while I hurl.

[patriciamary]

I like Rudy and Fred I wish he would ask Fred more questions.

“Romney/Thompson with Giuliani Attorney General and Duncan Hunter SecDef”

I would just flip Thompson & Romney or bring in Hunter — but I do like Duncan Hunter as SecDef!!! Big Tim!!

[GOP_Proud]

I am having trouble getting past the swelling on McCain's left cheek.

He's had melanoma surgery just above that and a chunk was taken out. Makes it look swollen because of the depression above it. JMHO.

[Owen]

The polls will generally determine time allocation. The media will decide they serve the public best by concentrating on those the public seems most interested in.

[rintense]

I think it was McCain’s camp.

[CASchack]

Well, unlike Kerry, McCain actually went through the gauntlet in Vietnam. However, I don’t need to be reminded of it incessantly.
