Republican 2012 presidential candidates Republican 2012 presidential candidates Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich met in a Lincoln-Douglas style debate on current economic and social issues facing the U.S.

[Signalman]

Remember....the VP is the head of the HOUSE!

VP is the President of the Senate.

Newt’s response on unemployment excels Cains...hands down

[bobby.223]

‘Stagger’ out of his bunker like he did last week at his little drunk speech. Darn, didn’t mean to offend the perryTINKLES...

[eyedigress]

He came out and said it was a mistake. He was hoping to get the left congress to slow down. It did not work.

[fightinJAG]

This training stuff Newt is going on with is the only bad note he’s hit tonight.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I know Galveston is in Texas, but I don’t think Perry had anything to do with the “Galveston Plan”. Of course, it is something he points to as a model for fixing Social Security, just as Gingrich did here, and it’s in his book Fed Up. But it’s not his “test”.

[Jane Long]

Chuck, you don't seem happy here on this thread. How bout you and your friends go chat elsewhere?

Many of us are enjoying this debate. If you're not, please dismiss yourself. Thanks.

Cain - decreasing unemployment weeks - no, don’t agree as first 26 weeks is too long.

Newt - day one get trained as fast as possible and get on the job - agreed.

Me - Take a job at Micky D’s and get off the dole.

Not played gottcha tonight. - good on them.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Sounds like a great place to live! (few Democrats)

[onyx]

NEWT:

Not played gotcha one time tonight!

WOO-HOO!!!

TWO GENTLEMEN!!!

[South40]

Plugs would be curled up and sucking his thumb in the corner afterward.

[M. Thatcher]

Agree completely. There was more than one instance when newt proudly went left. Which is why he’s barely in double digits.

I’d like to see Newt debate Plugs Biden.
"Hay....Can I call you Joe?" <br> WHACK!

It would be one for the ages!

[CharlesWayneCT]

I wasn’t going to say anything about Perry, but then several people started attacking Perry, claiming he was invited to tonight’s debate, or just making fun of him, so I figured that makes this an open thread for talking about what Perry has accomplished relative to things brought up in the debate.

PREACH IT HERMAN CAIN!

[bgill]

Ooh, nit pickingness of the media. Misinformation. Cain says didn’t take PC school. MSM are dishonest and do a diservice to the American people.

Go, Cain.

[katiedidit1]

surprised that Cain was shocked by the media.....lol
