Cain haters? I have seen very few posts bashing Cain, but I have seen hundreds bashing Newt. I think you need to put that shoe on the other foot. Also the only one playing the expectation game for tonights’ debate is you.

Newt is always sorry after he pushes the Left’s agenda. That means he’s sorry a lot.

Thanks very much for this wonderful thread!

[eyedigress]

Thanks for the thread and everybody that posted. I forgot all about it. (I’ll be switching back and forth between the debate and LSU@ALA.)

The Cool Mod is on duty tonight! Bump!

Two gentlemen in the room to discuss the nature of affairs in this nation. Welcome it.

Really like your profile pictures...

You know, Johnnie, if you're a Cain supporter, your best line of action is to support Cain, not attack everyone else.

I've watched you at work on multiple threads lashing out with no provocation, and it's getting tiring.

Can we all just discuss the debate? PLEASE??

[onyx]

WOO-HOO! I expect tolearn tonight, too!
I’d better get all my water and snacks ready.
Thinking bananas, berries and cereal!

Funny your talk of potatoes.. watching Modern Marvels on History Channel and it’s all about potatoes!

[Fantasywriter]

Did Newt ever back-peddle or apologize for backing RINO/Dem stealth candidate Dede Scozzafava over the tea party candidate? When Scozzafava dropped out, she endorsed the Dem, who ultimately won. I am curious as to whether Newt ever acknowledged he made a mistake in endorsing such a pro-Dem/anti-tea party RINO.

Relying on the Sony all in one PC tonight. Flipping back and forth on the TV in the top left corner of a 20 inch screen while following the debate on Free Republic.

“Dede Scozzafava”

Scuzzyflava?

The way I see this debate shaping up is that Cain needs to show folks he’s got the gravatas (sp?) to share the stage with Newt. Newt needs to show he can connect with real people in a personal way not just as a policy wonk. Should be interesting.

[eyedigress]

Not at all. Let Cain discuss what he has learned. Newt Gingrich knows DC and has a sizable advantage but Herman Cain needs this as well. America is ready for a wholesale shift in politics as usual.
