Neal Boortz said this morning that one of them would be gone after this debate...
Might be Huntsman

.
What do you think this fake “debate” is for?
If you’re going to call us “fascists,” you should at least spell the word correctly.
“I must need to take an Evelin Wood speed reading course because this thread is speeding by like a freight train!”
I’ve heard freight trains rushing by sound just like tornadoes...
Go Herman!! Former Fed official calling for an audit... and, FOCUS on SOUND MONEY!
Hes(newt)is brilliant0and we need his input desperately. He just cannot try and do more than he is capable of since we know he’s 80/20 at best.
Well Come on!!!
We’ll leave a light on for ya!
:)
As I am watching this, I am also picturing Palin when she actually said these things PUBLICALLY and FIRST. She is there. And the people hear her, even if they can’t see her.
My property taxes didn't go up.
As far as I know none of my taxes went up.
Best line of the night: half of nothing is nothing. We need someone in there who knows basic math, lol!
I do like Santorum and Cain.
Yes me too, I noticed, and because it’s CNN and Wolfe, I was expecting it. He’s fishing for Obama re election material.
(you still holding my spot? I’ve got my cookie recipe ready!)
+1 on Newt. I don’t see him as President, but he is enjoyable to watch and hear.
Santorum is not going to last much longer. He, Huntsman and Paul need to go away.
NEwt I would not vote for, but I want him around for his debating skills.
Romney I cannot stand.
Cain is doing very well.
Bachmann—not sure about her if she is up to the task.
Palin—c’mon in, the water’s fine.
Perry doing well.
EWWW is that from this evening??? That reminds me of that photo with that little rahm emanuel troll and Pelosi
EWWW
Me too.
I think that's likely to be the ticket.
Hunstman is over. Paul is over. Santorum is over.
I think Bachmann is over.
