Then the audience gave CW a second smackdown by booing him and cheering Newt :-)

Yep. It was beautiful.

Now on to foreign policy and Afghanistan.

“Cain defends himself well to biased-as-heck Wallace.”

Herman’s solid and doing well - just wish he’d get more questions.

It looks like Perry is the spare MSM entry. They’ll have plenty of RINOs to prop up if Romney fails. After Guliani failed, the MSM and Fox News propped up McCain.

Both MB and SP are great.

Is their response about Perry not being there, or Palin not being there...important? Dumb, dumb question. Trying to find fault with people not there who cannot defend themselves is not what the debaters should be asked to do. I hate the dumb questions being asked

Asked if Perry jumping in is a risk.

Paul says Perry is status quo, he's not.

Cain one more politician running helps him stand out even more.

Huntsman digs Perry on prayers!!

Bachmann asked Palin steals her thunder. She welcomes anyone who wants to run.

Newt says lots of candidates can come in Perry, Palin, Rudy.

I didn't see Santorum getting a shot at answering. Hmm.

Fox's people says Bachmann is imploding and being petty, says Newt is winning but it's too late, says Romney is "escaping a lot."

If Bachmann looks bitchy it’s because Pawlenty set it up that way. He’s desperate and it’s shot my opinion of him all to hell.

The states are limited by the U. S. Constitution. “Marriage” isn’t in there but life, liberty, and property is.

Pawlenty just looks like someone doing a bad SNL skit.

The snarky bimbo asks no interesting questions. Where are the economic questions?

Understand that these early debates weed out the ones that have no chance.

I know. Have been watching these since the 1960s.Unfortunately, last time, the candidate on both sides that should have been weeded out early went on to their party's nomination.

“She was late getting back to the podium after the break was over.”

To be fair, she’s the only one who can’t just whip it out over a urinal...
