I agree with you...that was poor character.A brilliant man, a patriot, but I don’t like his personal character and for the Pres, I want good character.

Bush and Laura were a model of marriage. It was great.

“I like Sarah Palin, but she will not win over Moderate Republicans, Independents or Democrats that are dis-mayed with Obama...”

That’s the real problem. And we’ll need all of those we can get if we’re to have a shot at knocking BHO out.

Good for Newt and Cain calling Wallace on his anti-Republican campaign via his questions.

Susan F. (Washington Examiner) is not exuding command of her questions......passive, low-talking (”she’s a low-talker”), reading from her 8.5 X 11....fake.

Romney: “We are a nation of immigrants.”

I am so sick of that phrase!

Good answer from Herman Cain.

One of the best lines of the night: "America's got to learn how to take a joke."

Of course he wouldn't.

I would love to see every candidate, when asked one of his gotcha questions by Wallace, respond by saying, "next question". Just ignore the bas*ard and move on. It won't happen, I know. But I'd like to see it.

Pawlenty is right about Bachmann. She is not qualified. And to support her is no better than those who elected Obama with the same paper thin resume as Bachmann. To support Bachmann is republican koolaid vs the Obama Koolaid. As far as Pawlenty , he is qualified by his executive experience but is wrong on his record.

I like the way Newt keeps focusing on how awful obama is.

I don't like him for President, but I like that he's in these debates.
