Rick Santorum

Can you take intrinsic issue with it? i.e attack it on it’s merits or demerits; i.e., what beef might you have with Cain’s plan? The guy has a low ID recognition level nationwide still (although he has the most favorable rating of all GOP candidates at present). This is basic Marketing 101, he has to repeat it everywhere until it “brands” him far and wide. This is a tactical work in progress. Get a clue please.

The troops are scared of Ron Paul.
No one out-debates the Newter.
The more is see of her(Michelle) the more I keep thinking in the back of my mind (light weight)
“Newt reminds them: American people create jobs, not government.”
GREAT line...Newt is hot tonite.
Out of the current field, I like Perry, Bachmann and Cain.
I like Newt in these debates, although I wouldn't vote for him.
I think he'd make a good press secretary.
You?
Could be that is exactly what Sarah wanted. Good results are good results.
Man, Myth had a tough time complimenting Perry on Texas’ accomplishments. His voice got all tight.
From the side they really look like they are lined up for a sale at the supermarket.
I’m pretty impressed with Herman Cain tonight.
LOL. Hilarious. That was my gut busting laugh of the day.
HAHAHAHA, that's EXACTLY how it came off to me too.
AIT, my comment was not against Cain. I like Cain.
He speaks directly. I have no problem with him. I think these debates are rasiing his stature.
I like Newt and am willing to forgive and forget his so-called “baggage”. People change and people repent.
How I would love to have a man of TRUE INTELLIGENCE like Newt as my President!
(Someone actually smarter than me.)
Oh, NO. Huntsman needs to go away. SOOOOOOON.
[slaps head] WOW! I never thought of that!
You got it! Also Perry is a snake oil salesman that will; say or do anything to be elected, total _ _ _
Thank you so much!!!
I wondered what Paul was talking about.
I want to move to TX.
