(Line shamelessly lifted from the movie Caddyshack)

[Tennessee Nana]

Sounds working now

[dforest]

It doesn’t leave much to root for in the debate does it? LOL

[My Favorite Headache]

He knows he is done. Going to eat dinner right now and watch...be back for the fun in a bit.

[SE Mom]

That’s for sure- and now we hear each candidate gets to ask one question of one other candidate...

[exit82]

Mitt up first; question re: President’s stimulus plan.

[MomwithHope]

Yep =- first question about the package and to Romney

[logician2u]

Get used to it.

He's in for the duration.

Lets see, MSNBC, Republican debate. Ok, that means this can only be a Mitt Romney ambush tonight?

Yep. But that'll be good for him in learning how to handle the liberal press when he is President.

[Siobhan]

I don’t hate Romney, but I find him unsavory. He strikes me in a visceral way as a cross between a used car salesman and a fratboy who loves practical jokes and flatulence.

[Beagle8U]

“While we’re waiting for the festivities to start, how about some guesses as to the questions they’re going to ask the candidates?”

Russert: Mr Huckabilly...Do you clean the Squirrels before you pop them?

Russert: Mr Romney...What exactly do magic underwear do? Can you fly?

Russert: Mr McCain... Your face hasn’t fallen of yet...Will you make it to Nov?

Russert: Mr Paul....LMAO!

Russert: Mr Ghouliani...Will you have a place in your cabinet for Kerik? ..And will your Mob connections help ?

[don-o]

Romney has grown on me.

I have a real good skin doctor who can help you out with that.

[joebuck]

This works to Romney’s strength

[tioga]

Yuck, they all look pink....guess that is an editorial comment by MSNBC.

[FreedBird]

McCain is a shark with his white teeth

[AliVeritas]

Why do I have a blank screen?

Another link?

[claudiustg]

Intrade is running for Romney (55) over McCain (38).

[dforest]

Big night for msnbc. They led in with Olberdork so they could get a good gauge on how their audience picked up.

[HonestConservative]

Enchiladita Mia, I like Romney’s stimulus plan better than GWB’s. Alot better.
