LOL
Was it just me or did it appear like Anderson Cooper was going out of his way to give McCain extra time or opportunities to respond?
Help me out here because I’m REALLY biased against McStain, but, did he just completely derail his run tonight with the most pathetic “debate” ever, but mumbling, bumbling, attacking, not answering questions, or answering questions with the wrong answer?

Hmmm. It’ll be interesting to see what affect his endorsement of McCain will have in California then. Thanks for the reply!
I think Romney cleaned clocks tonight, was forceful and had the answer to everything;
Huckabee 2nd place - I liked his answer about California regulations and states rights - if it doesn’t work the other states will steal Arnold’s jobs away!
Paul distant 3rd - got his agenda in when he was given a chance to speak although he used the word “Empire” a little to much for comfort (Is that you Noam?)
McLame - Big loser of the night; if people actually watched the debate they would have been turned off big time. Unfortuately I think the Arnold and Giulianni endorsements will have a much bigger effect on the race than this debate.
Super Tuesday is not a forgone conclusion - it may come down to whether Huckabee people jump ship and if so, where do they jump.
Romney definitely won this but the press will bury it and the endorsement machine will roll on. I actually think Cooper slipped in the part about Arnold endorsing McCain at the end because McCain did so badly, maybe it was an attempt to put a good face on it by revealing the endorsement.
In that kind of a vote, I would go with Donald Duck!

Speaking of Ahnald, Anderson Cooper mentioned that he would be endorsing McInsane tomorrow. I wonder how he would know this at this point. More examples of how Ahnald is not a conservative?
See the writing. It says,
Romney was for deadlines.
Romney was for pulling out of Iraq.
Romney is Harry Reid.
I know Ron Paul doesn't know who Abu Abbas, Abu Nidal and Zarqawi are. I also know he doesn't know whoch one of those was responsible for murderering one of your fellow citizens in a wheelchair and dumping him overboard. I'm also sure that he doesn't know that all three were given sanctuary in Iraq by Saddam Hussein who was concurrently paying bounty for the heads of Jews and Americans.
My question to you is this, do you know any of that and if you do is it your psotion that we allow terrorists to kill Americans at their leisure and then live in sanctuary cities like Bgahdad untouched in perpetuity?
McCain is a mean detestable arrogant name dropping old mean nasty ill tempered little junkyard dog of a man.
No. But the fight goes on until Feb 5th:)
I’m not an admirer of Huckabee, but his ending speech was the best of all of them. One thing I noticed, as they were talking of President Reagan, a lack of humor. Mcpain was the same painful name dropper, I’m qualified because I was shot down, I was in the military, I know how to lead etc, etc., Romeny, I don’t think did himself a favor. He didn’t mention he helped Salt Lake City survive the Olympics because of his business acumen, the Olympics would not have been in Utah, but did because of his expertise. I personally think a little humor would go a long way during these so-called debates. Ron Paul, was Ron Paul.
If Romney picked a good running mate, they could take the South. If McCain is the nominee, which looks like the media is trying now to crown him, I will not vote in the election. I know thats a terrible thing to say....but I don’t like him and I have watched him in the Senate constantly huddling with Democrats.
He is a Democrat in Repulican clothing! I have always voted but I will sit this one out I am mighty afraid!
I thought she looked good too. She has seemed awfully frail the last few times I’ve seen her on the tube though.
