Me too, that ticket looks strong enough to landslide Obama at current time.
Perry standing firm on his calling out of Fed Reserve policy treasonous.
SCOOORREEESSS!!!
Wolf just completely changed what Perry actually said about Bernanke. He didn’t say that he should be tried for treason, he said that printing more money to influence the election would be almost treasonous!
there we go, Perry got to clarify. He should have also called Blitzer a liar.
Can’t stand the way Romney looks at Perry while he’s talking.
Perry is just not Palin lets face it. But, chances are real good someone up there is going to be the one.
Romney weak on the Federal Reserve. Doesn’t know the Constitution.
Perry was much better.
And, IMO, Newt knows it, and is on the stage to be the conservative attack dog and point-maker -- knowing full well the others would be too fearful to do the same.
And that (also IMO) makes him one hell of an American patriot.
Wolf is directing Q/A against Perry. The contenders don’t have to even try and they get to fall in. HMMMM.
My hubby just sent his resume down there with a good friend of his. I have my finger’s crossed.
Newt raises the level of the debates. I would like to see him debate Obama, Lincoln-Douglas style.
From your keyboard to the Lord’s ears. Obama would be crying for TOTUS in 5 minutes. :)
>> “There are more than two candidates up there Wolf” <<
.
But those are the only candidates that Obama knows he can beat.
I wish Palin was on that stage .The LSM did a job on her. I predict she will endorse Perry. Sarah should play a key role in a Perry Administration!
Perry and Cain pronounce words the way God meant for them to sound.
:)
Not liking this, though...
Newt is a thinker.. he comes up with some brilliant ideas.. and, some clunkers.
NO WAY he ever gets elected... But, I'm glad he's around pitching ideas.
And he looked straight into the camera when he did it.
I think he’s more comfortable on the debate floor tonight than he was last week.
Ditto, I’m starting to think I could overlook a lot, just to see Newt Gingrich debate Obama.
That is, if Obama will condescend to participate in presidential debates.
The Romney stare is creepy. And embarrassing. Not helpful.
Thanks!! I will!!
Newt!! GE!!! He’s the MAN!!
Wolf is restricted in this format. The Tea Party questions are great and the crowd is Awesome!
