“Perry is off my list.

Illegal immigrant bootlickers. “

Silence from the audience on his explanation of his support of illegal instate tuition.

Silence.

Huntsman’s jokes go over like dirty jokes at a church picnic

Huntsman's dancing eyebrows are irrating also!

They tried, but I wish they would hammer the fact that it’s a state’s rights issue. If the people of Texas want to give these tuition breaks, so be it - it’s the people’s choice. If Massachusetts or Utah don’t then they won’t. The issue is should it be Federal policy? No, of course not!

In a few words, Michelle is trying to remain relevant...and she is getting smarmy and shrill and losing what support she had.........in my humble opinion.......I like her...but no way I want that whiny wench in the White house...

Um hmm. If that's the case, why was it even brought up- and decisively hammered on, by everyone BUT Perry?

Denial... denial... it's not just a river in Texas that can't have a fence in it.

“I notice that when Perry speaks, Romney at least looks at him. She’s looking the other way, seems really dumb.”

Looking at the wrong camera would be my guess. Seems to be an emerging trend...

Just got into watching, and it was like 30 minutes before they let Newt Gingrich talk.

Cain asked about energy. Would create a regulatory reduction commission made up of people abused by the regulations starting with the EPA.

The questions that remains is: How many debates do we have to put up with him in?

Even Romney is scoring points on Perry tonight (on the illegal immigration issue). The good ship Perry is taking on water. The only thing saving Perry’s campaign from cratering tonight is Monday Night Football...
