He is sucking wind

Both the National Review and the Heritage Foundation have endorsed Romney.

HEY CHRIS, HOW ABOUT YOU LET FRED SPEAK!

[maica]

When a person says “I’ll be honest with you” [Huck a few minutes ago] I hear a signal that a lot of what the person says is not honest.

[Petronski]

I am not a social conservative.

You're half a conservative, at best.

[itslex71]

Despite Fred's acting credentials, I'm not sure how is laid back manner will play compared to Obama's energy and enthusiasm.

That's what I am saying! He's comes across as slow and old and that just won't win it. We shouldn't put someone up who is destined to lose! Why not just vote for Obama?

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Huck seems to think that you don’t need to know anything to be POTUS. Just be a good person.

[Terrence DoGood]

Agreed

[CASchack]

Huck did poorly early on with the tax question. Mitt really nailed him. He can’t answer the foreign affairs question either. Wait until illegal immigration comes up. He’s really not strong on any issue.

Watch the media spin his performance after the debate.

[mnehring]

He couldn’t. He was under contract with NBC until September 07.

[spectre]

You're cracking me up here...stop!!!!

Brokeback Lindsay always likes McCains jokes.....

[Shortstop7]

I always think that too!

[ejonesie22]

I know, I am here...
;-)...

[wita]

Personal attacks our silly,

I agree and I put the blame squarely on the idiot asking the contentious questions. Chris has show his hand and it stinks. He is pitting the candidates against one another, instead of having an issues debate. Maybe that is not the reason for the forum, but if so I don’t like it.

[A. Morgan]

Huckleberry as a military man... LOL !

[big'ol_freeper]

I will agree with Romuckabee on one thing. It is preferable to have a candidate who has executive experience like a governor. BUT, only if during the candidates time as an executive he was a conservative. Romney and Huckabee absolutely failed in that regard.

Huckabee: 'Stupid is as stupid does.'

Huckabee: 'Life is like a box of chocolates...'

[penelopesire]

Ok...I hear you Jim and respect you. I am also a conservative and it is my opinion that if we don’t get Fred or Duncan Hunter as a nominee and Rudy ends up on the ticket.... I am going to vote for him.

You think Rudy will take away our guns, promote abortion and push the gay agenda down our throats?..WAIT until the dems get the WH, The Senate and the Congress.

[STARWISE]

I didn’t hear him on that. How dare he .. Petraeus WROTE
the seminal manual/textbook!

Rudy .. how many trips you took were for your business?
