Yep, I saw her smile on that comment.

Newt brought a baseball bat tonight on the media. A FOX commentator should get their facts straight.

Santorium is rocking tonight and beating Ron Paulson like a drum.

Those that can’t use Valium often use Benydryl...it makes people sleepy.

I also take an Advil some nights or an aspirin, that takes care of minor aches and pains that may keep me up.

I think Herman’s been very cool, classy and adept at handling all the gotcha, attack questions leveled at him tonight

Of all of them...Cain, IMHO, is the MOST PRESIDENTIAL looking tonight.

Even without all the background and knowledge of the ins and outs of the rotting place in DC, Cain shines with his demeanor and straight forward approach. He is a no nonsense man, able to listen, and to think through the problems, and come up with solutions. I stand for him.

I was not sure at first, and have held my breath. But tonight, even as a newcomer, he has stood his own and he has shined.

Santorum: “That child did nothing wrong.”

Rick Santorum is absolutely right!

Santorum doing great as a consistent pro-lifer.

I LOVE that about him. Not afraid to stand strong for the sanctity of life.

No-exceptions Abortion question to Santorum. Talks about the innocent child (even those via from rape) doing nothing wrong to deserve the death penalty. “One violence is enough.”

As I said before...Reagan was dealing with a totally different culture and generation than we have today....

And Palin is bit different than Reagan. A woman, in a culture more receptive to a woman President. Younger, at a time when we're willing to consider younger Presidents.

In one very important respect, though, Reagan and Palin are two peas in a pod: They took the heaviest artillery the MSM could bring to bear...and turned it right around on them, maintaining a good humor.

Palin's unique ability to not just neutralize, but utterly defeat, the even more rabid press of the 21st century is a solid gold campaign (and governance) asset.

Palin might do well in 2016 but not 2012....

If, as you insist, Palin can't win in 2012, what in the world is going to happen in the next four years that would change the landscape so?

Bachmann is looking anlittle rough in high def n hair color is too light. Grey outfit is blah. Hair looks flat. Grin was awkward after the jackass’s question about submission.

Saddam was providing $25K to Palestine Martyrs.

Exactly! I wonder where Ron Paul stands on Israel.

Better this group of questioners than the Gwen Iffle ilk from the last VP debate.
