Same four I like best.
I've watched every debate and scored every response in each debate, A, B, C, D or F. I base my grade mostly on whether or not I agree with the answer, but I sometimes penalize if the answer isn't stated well or doesn't answer the question. (Sorry, Perry)
Converting that to a 4 point GPA, my current standings thru 11 debates are: Gingrich 3.90, Bachmann 3.61, Santorum 3.60, Cain 3.58, Romney 3.12, Perry 2.96, xPawlenty was 2.66, Paul 2.40, Huntsman 2.38, Johnson 2.28.
When my state votes, I'll probably look at InTrade to see who, at that time, are the two most likely candidates to win the GOP nod, and then vote for the one of the two that I've graded higher. Most likely Romney will be one of the two... most likely the other will be someone I grade higher than Romney.
I don't see anyone catching Gingrich in my mind. I'm darn near dead even on Cain, Bachmann and Santorum, so if they stay that tight, my "intangibles" preferences have them in that "CBS" preference order. Several more debates to go, to see if anything changes.
As far as Perry goes, I definitely don't want him as our nominee, but I'm still paying attention since I'm still effectively undecided as to who I'd go for if, God forbid, Perry and Romney are the top two candidates when my state votes.
I also think Mr Cain would be opposed to US students being forced to say the pledge of allegiance to a foreign county, for any purpose. I also doubt he we agree to telling students they couldn't wear t shirts with the US flag on it for political correctness sake.
That’s because they C, N, R are the front runners and have a shot. Had Bachmann and Perry not gaffed their way down in the polls, they would have been given more questions. That’s just how it is. In the earliest debates Cain didn’t get hardly any questions, but as he moved up in the polls he got more, and he earned them!
In the South, there are many black evangelical churches. Cain would carry much of that bloc. As a Baptist minister, he speaks that language and it is a powerful force. Obama hasn't a clue what any of that stuff means.
Its a huge turn off, too.
As an aside. I wish one of them, ANY of them would told the moderators that the US should use the same type of interrogation methods as their enemies use. If the enemy is torturing their captives, then why should the US do anything less. I would draw the line at hanging, burning and firing squads though (at least until they went to a military court). The US should not have their hands tied while the enemy gets a free pass. jmo
Is it perfect,hell no! Do we have every candidate we want in place yet,hardly. But give Sarah a chance. She has only begun to work. And we have only begun to feed the New Media with intel day after day week after week.
In case you don't notice FR and the New Media are a very valuable resource in the war against rionism and the commies now in power.
Currently, we are not forced to support any rino and no one here does.Including me!
Later on most will support whomever wins in Tampa. There is little choice other than that.I needn't go into detail our options have been summarized here many times.
If that means we get a rino,and that possibility exists, I encourage you to heap fuel on the huge bonfire that will be lit under his ass for at least four years.
The moment he goes squishy we will be right there to kick his ass over and over if that's what it takes.
And in case you haven't noticed its working.
So you can take your marbles go back in the corner and keep sucking your thumb or help out in the all out war on commies and rinos.It all starts here.
And he apologized for the Princess Nancy remark... why?
Simple. Just keep reminding yourself we’re electing a President, not a boarding school headmaster. Then remember ‘it’s only sex’.
Presidents are human beings, complete with flaws, not Demi-gods with no stains from the travails of life..
I've notice that he does that to almost all of the candidates in every debate. It looks like he is wishing that he could speak like that and remember all that data so easily.
Black vote only counts in big City state...Phil..in Penn..is one that stands out...Probably Michigan....Southern and western states not really a factor...maybe in Mississippi...
Scott Pelley beamed with satisfaction when he used the word “extra-judicial”. Unfortunately Newt then had to school him about how killing our enemies works in the real world and how it is perfectly legal.
Loook ma! I use the word extra-judicial! All my lib friends will be so impressed same as when Obama says unsustainable, showing what a genius he is
Black vote will matter in Virginia and North Carolina.
Definitely Michigan, no probably about it.
The following data was sourced from the 2010 U.S. Census.[citation needed]
Here's one from 2000 which makes the above numbers look right.
Who's "Obowbow" bowing to here? She looks like she expects it to happen? Must be a Chinese bank executive.
Thanks for submitting these numbers. I had no idea that Baton Rouge is “blacker” than Washington, D.C.
East Baton Rouge Parish is Republican; it overshadows the liberal city itself, but I believe the city has pockets of Republicanism too.
Again, I watched the debate...not a good one, and not exciting. Cain did well in my opinion. He answered well on Pakistan, Iran, etc. Nobody was far superior last night.
Also, this won’t change minds much as this debate went up against college football and was not very exciting.
Watching the recording of the debate now.
Cain is stumbling, Perry is trying to be assertive and doing pretty well.
Bachmann is doing very well.
Does SNLIVE ever do comedy of the democratic debates?They downright suck at bashing ‘the so called right wing.’
It is not even funny
