Thanks for this link...Best debate EVER...Love the ...if you were VP Line from Cain to Newt. And Newt’s perfect answer LOL LOL...All debates should be like this where you really get to know their ideas without the 30 second/1 munute time limits. MSNBC soundbite will be the final minute of this debate. (G-d forbid they use Cain’s hit on the media, except maybe FOX)

“That was outstanding...simply outstanding.”

Yes, it certainly was. And there is a bonus: I know both Democrats and Independents who watched this.....and LEARNED a great deal of good this evening. The TRUTH was presented via a very pleasing format.

Exactly ! This is one thing, I don’t understand our Republican candidates ! I don’t remember democrats candidates having conservative moderators in 2008 ! Stop pleasing the MSM ! Never going to get anything positive out of it!

When I was born, we were still called "Post-war Baby Boomers." :)

I can't wait to see the poll numbers after this. I really, really want Newt to overtake Romney!

Lucky you. I just had to clean up the mess I made from seeing him muddle through the process of signing up in New Hampshire....it took about 10 guys to explain the process. :) Can he be any more stupid?

Now, now...Rick Perry possesses exceptional intellectual abilities! But don't take my word for it, ask any PerryBot.

“But, the conventional wisdom here on FR said that Newt would mop the floor with Cain. It didn’t happen. Anyone else care to say anything bad about Cain or Newt for that matter?”

They’ve both been my boys for awhile now. Nice to see others comig around.

Both of these men need to be in office in some capacity. I like them both. Cain/Gingrich or Gingrich/Cain is fine with me. We would be so much better off and our economy would explode upward the same day they take office. John Galt would re-enter society.

blueyon’s thread!

FABUOLUS THREAD!

This debate was Newt’s idea and Herman was in for it!

Both patriots were served well and we were the beneficiaries!

They deserve to be our winning ticket and WIN THEY WILL!!!

Pray and don’t stop.

I believe there is a Angel in the whirlwind driving this storm!

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

Why? The businesses, not taxpayers, pay for the training. Unemployment insurance pays out to the trainee, the trainee gets the training as a condition of getting unemployment, the businesses gets productive, trained workers at the end to hire on.

I respectfully disagree because as Rush says Obama is the least qualified in any room he enters. Cain would hands down beat him on economy and as far as foreign policy goes he has shown he knows which sec of states to go to for advice. The only way Obama wins will be with heavy assistance from the moderator. Also Obama can’t use the race card with Cain. He will hold his own.

Herman and Newt staged this “debate” all the way down to the final question and the “ticket embrace”-— Cain/Newt would be a great ticket.

To: Ranjit

Good point...but in this assertion is the interesting point...WHY didn’t Newt do it? He complimented Cain many, MANY times. I made me think that the ticket is already set. Cain did well...better than people gave him credit for and Newt is very good as always. This was a great night...but I am still in the Cain camp.

might it be better if Washington would adapt to Mr. Cain?

i didn’t think Cain & Newt could be on same ticket because they are from same state; like Bush and Chaney. Chaney had to re-establish residency to another state - I forget which one it was.
