LOL at Cains last question...hats off to both candidates..fantastic debate and thanks to ONYX for the thread

[EGPWS]

Ditto's here word for word of what you posted Sarah!

Newt is VERY impressive tonight and my guess is that he will be moving up in the polls.

[fightinJAG]

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

[blueyon]

I love you guy!

[ohioWfan]

That was absolutely HILARIOUS!

I'm still laughing here. :)

[bray]

Cain asks the best question ever asked. How hilarious

[CharlesWayneCT]

That’s certainly true. I doubt too many people here would want to watch Romney debate anybody, much less Perry.

I very much enjoy watching Perry do question/answer interviews. Frankly, I think he’d be fine in this type of forum (which isn’t a debate), with either of these two men, assuming everybody could stay as civil as these two are being to each other.

But frankly, I’d love to see Gingrich go one on one with EACH of the other candidates. He makes everybody else smarter just by standing with him.

[TheShaz]

Wonderful Debate.

I would love to see more.

[buschbaby]

Now That is how a debate should be conducted! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Usually I tune out before one is over, not this time, I was enthralled. What amazing men they both are.

[Jane Long]

Great debate...great idea...folks want more!!

[tutstar]

ROFL touche’ Herman.... to Newt “What would you like the President to ask you to do?”

[Sarah Barracuda]

I LOVE his sense of humor..HERMAN ROCKS!!!!!
