[AfterManyASummer]

Russert’s cross-examination of Romney on personal issues is despicable.

[allmendream]

Great answers. The more a candidate mentions the Constitution the more I like it.

[icwhatudo]

The more they go after Romney, the easier it is to support him.

[SE Mom]

He hates conservatives.

He hates Republicans.

He can’t believe he has to even lower himself to be in the same ROOM with them.

[Quicksilver]

Ah, I knew we would get through this debate WITHOUT a Mormon question.

[claudiustg]

I’m so impressed with Mitt tonight! He’s putting this one away!

[bill1952]

Give ‘em that old fashioned Republicanism.

coming from a supporter of the most Socialist R in this century, that is an insult to Republicans everywhere.

[mtnwmn]

He flat out put Potato Head in his place....I’m loving it!

[Tennessee Nana]

Now Romney makes everyone frrl guilty if they dont vote for him

The religion card

just like the race card

just like the gender card

Oh boy....

[Rumierules]

Romney can debate or at least perform in this thing the call a debate.

[joebuck]

I think Russert thought he was going to destroy some candidates tonight and he’s ticked they have handled him so deftly.

[Freee-dame]

I’ve raised more money than any other republican..... and I’ve given more of my own money than I’ve raised

.I heard the first part. I'll have to check my tape later for the second part.

[TheLion]

"Romney is seriously the best candidate we’ve had in a very long time!"

The post of the night!

[okie01]

McCain just claimed he got majority of Republican vote in NH and SC-Thats BS!!!!!!!!!!! Plurality maybe, but no way 50% +

McCain didn't even get a plurality of the Republican vote. He never has -- in any presidential primary, in any state.

Romney got more GOP votes than McCain in both NH and SC.

[Signalman]

Romney didn’t just hit a home run, he hit a grand slam.

[MomwithHope]

Bet they never asked Kerry how much he spent.

[icwhatudo]

Anyone know if Huckabee is still in the room?

[HonestConservative]

Why does RuPaul remind me of Dana Carvey’s Church Lady?

[torchthemummy]

Russert is desperate and looks and sounds it. This is cheesey. Russert keeps asking a different question on the same theme: it’s wrong that you are using your own earned wealth to an advantage. Now Williams is trying to hit Romney with the anti-Mormon polls. This is a hitjob by these two and shows me who they are scared of. Just more proof that Romney has them worried.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Paul wants to eventually abolish SS. The old people of FL are not going to like that . . .
