CAIN ROCKS!!!!
I agree. The red lighting at the MSNBC debate was awful too.
Romney plays cards ???
a gambler ???
Oh noez
Romney is shooting himself in the foot by shooting off his mouth. WTH?
Why is Romney talking about TExas?
Michelle: Easy to turn around this economy? Delusional, that one. It ain’t easy. It’s going to be painful and hard.
————————————————>
I’m beginning to think Michelle is on the same plane as Ron Paul....the economy is going to be very difficult to change. Another I’ll bring back gas under $2.00/gallon.
Now that Saturday Night Live laugh.
...and his hat...and his cattle!
I love Michelle but she’s vastly over her head.
Hee. Strikes me the same.
I'm also getting sick of his self-congratulatory manner.
I just noticed his sleeves. You’re right.
Mitt can’t seem to pass up an opportunity to be smarmy.
Romney’s pride won’t let him be gracious - self inflicted wound by making himself look mean and petty
I'll wait for Palin. I like Cain, and oddly, I like Newt!
Mitt, you were doing good until you started talking poker....—Perry
“You were doing pretty well until you starting talking poker”
Bang.
Perry is fast on his feet.
He also looks real but calm and strong at the time!
She’s got a ton of great ideas but she’s NOT RUNNING! Why shouldn’t they use her ideas?
I enjoy hearing Perry call obama the current resident of the white house.
Romney doesn’t know how to play UNO, let alone poker.
I don’t like perry’s makeup. Too dry and powdery looking.
