Cain has handled every question well. Over all he has remained clear, concise, and calm. Good qualities.
Huntsman keeps saying "record, record, record." Says "civil unions" about equality and beneficiary rights. Says the states should be making the decisions. Supports traditional marriage but wants subordinate civil union rights.
I use half a valium, works great, no hangover. Had a day long hangover with melatonin.
Romney’s hairy hands bother me. Also mittens is quickly morphing into George Hamilton. Also his dyed hair and white sideburns are creepy.
I think Palin, Perry, and Bachmann have done the best so far.
A FOX FIASCO TO THE MAX!!! WHY ALL THE TIME TO RPAUL?? WHAT THE F!!!
That was quite some sting on September 11th.
They will get nukes at some point and they want us dead.
Huntsman’s record? the one where he works as a lackey for theO?
Oh, poor you, Tara P. Stand by!
Prepped for the question. Would have been foolish not to have.
I still can't believe York asked her such an awful question.
More importantly, Iraq was the chosen battlefield to smoke out AQ and it worked. The alternative would be having our troops chasing them in every hell hole in the Mideast and beyond.
Hair and Tan should always be the determining factor in deciding who to vote for
The only one lamer than Byron is Chris Wallace, He is a moron.

My question is...WHAT damned record????
He HAS no record except for taking over daddy’s business!
Perry and Palin not being there makes one wonder what they are afraid of, by their being so evasive. They’ve lost a lot of respect and we need people who don’t duck out and run from confrontation. We need a leader not a runner.
They're making fun of him. They're using him for entertainment.
