Don’t pee your pants, Timmy.
1 minute response limit - turns it into the Brett Bair Show with.... the candidates who can provide best slick ‘sound bites. No time for thoughtful answers.
It’s too bad Newt’s a tool....debate-wise, he would clean Barry’s Austrian-speaking clock.
Newt is one Smart Man...
Pawlenty is soooo boring.
Is that Paw up now
Palin’s my candidate, but Bachmann has got great poise and presence. And yes, she dresses the part.
Does not seem to be true.
Data below for 2010 show Utah is good but not best
with error bars going back to 1976 for comparison
I use Valerian tea....one Valerian Tea bag in about 1/2 cup boiled water (I nuke it). ..sound asleep.
Valerian is a natural herb, like mint or Camomille, and there is no hangove I used to have with mealtonin.
an alternative is also 2 large Turkey legs ( from the Seinfeld episode)..ha.
Newt asked about divided government. Mentioned accomplishments as Speaker vs Clinton and Reagan accomplishments with divided government. Policy wonk answers.
Pawlenty asked about his growth target. Offers to cook dinner or lawn mow for someone who can find Obama's specific plans. Attacks Romney saying if he 'won' he'd limit mowing his place to 1 acre.
Yep. Funny thing is during his 6pm show the panel complained about candidates just giving soundbites and not detailed answers. Well geez how detailed can you get in 1 minute?
Oh no he didn’t (Pawlenty mowing only one acre of Romney’s lawn)
He would make a good cabinet official, but I don't trust him as president.
OK I know thats Rick S
The one talking now reminds me of the Godfried comedian.
agree.
I will have to put them in the other room to watch the Eagles vs Ravens game.
Newt had his chance in the 90's and BLEW IT. He should be helping Palin when she becomes a candidate.
Pawlenty funny!
