Too bad none of these candidates are going to win the nomination....
Dang, my audio lags slightly from the video. That’s going to be annoying.
introduced in order...
Santorum
Cain
Paul
Romney
Bachmann
Pawlenty
Huntsman
Gingrich
Let’s go to the economic issues right off...
Those podiums look like they are from a game show.
Says debt ceiling should not have increased. Claims it was 'right answer'. Talking points on Tea Party, 1 term prez.
Asks Romney how long would it take… lists things he would do. Asked if he was MIA on debt ceiling. Said he signed Cut, Cap, Balance plan. Won't eat Obama's dog food.
Asked what Cain would do. Would make tax rates permanent. Says new president would need to get economy moving in 90 days. Repatriated profits, cap gains taxed at 0. 25% business tax.
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.
Chris Wallace is looking particularly orange tonight. Brings up Bachmann migraines and asks Pawlenty if she's a poor leader or if he's just upset she's beating him in the polls. Pawlenty says she has "non-existent" legislative record, not a record of results.
Pawlenty accuses Bachmann of being a liar.
