Right...Newt is not only intellectually highly competent and knowledgeable with good ideas, he is also a statesman. Too bad, the Dems destroyed his chances long ago and although he keeps hanging in there, I doubt he would take the nomination.

Santorum talking about outsourcing of manufacturing and step to bring it back. Wants to cut corporate rate for manufacturers to 0%.

Chris Wallace is looking particularly orange tonight. Brings up Bachmann migraines and asks Pawlenty if she's a poor leader or if he's just upset she's beating him in the polls. Pawlenty says she has "non-existent" legislative record, not a record of results.

Pawlenty vs. Bachmann on Bachmann’s alleged lack of accomplishments.
Minnesota nice being put to the test. Chris Wallace gets mega-groans.

RomneyBOT Chris Wallace takes a second wipe at
Michele Bachmann for his love, Mitt Romney.

Scurrilous Wallace insults Ms. Bachmann on her
resume and health.

She defends herself, So Stinkbag Wallace takes
a second swipe.

I don’t think that was a coward’s answer. He supported Cut, Cap & Balance and refused to accept the premise the Obama-negotiated compromise bill would’ve come to his desk as president.
