Perry has a good heart. That’s the most you can say for him.

He's a natural on late night TV. Maybe he'll follow in Huckabee's footsteps. He's not afraid to laugh at himself.

Thank you CCC....but the sound is breaking up ...will have to read the transcript later. I am disappointed in CBS AGAIN

Both the CBS and National Journal audio/video links are breaking up constantly. This is SO ridiculous and frustrating. This IS 2011, right? What can't they get this to work? I have a brand-new fast computer, so the problem isn't on my end.

Newt is simply brilliant in all these debates.

[CAluvdubya]

He needs glue that holds when he sweats! It's sliding!

[af_vet_rr]

A few other things go ‘crazy’ also!

Those are easy to cover up

[newzjunkey]

Santorum asks about federal spending and debt as a national security issue. What would you eliminate or return to the states?

Romney says he'll cap spending at 20%. Kill ObamaCare. Send Medicaid back to the states growing at inflation plus 1%. NEA, PBS, etc. are nice but can't afford to borrow. Reduce fed personnel at least 10%.

Huntsman endorses the Ryan plan. Would ship medicaid and education to the states.

Newt says four interlocking things: (stream cut so I got three) Energy, Manufacturing, Science & Manufacturing. And the rest of his answer was lost to the lousy stream. (grrr)

[Netizen]

I think it takes some time for the feed to get ahead of itself. I haven’t had a stops and starts for quote a while now.

I thought several times that Perry didn’t answer the question asked of him, but instead rattled on about something else.

[TropicanaRose]

Ah, OK then. I just like DeMint better.

[ScottinVA]

I agree about DeMint.

[pgkdan]

He's a natural on late night TV. Maybe he'll follow in Huckabee's footsteps. He's not afraid to laugh at himself.

He's going to be too busy as President for much late night TV.

[grey_whiskers]

What is with Huntsman’s choice of color? Pink tie? What color is that suit?

LOL! For a moment I misread your post as "Runtsman."

As far as the tie -- did he play wide receiver at Penn State?

Cheers!

[Reagan69]

I don’t think I would use China as a model, Michele.

[rodguy911]

These debates need only invite Newt,Romney,Perry and Cain the rest should stay home.

[samtheman]

Bachmann rambles.

[Chuck54]

A few other things go ‘crazy’ SOUTH also!

There, I fixed it for you.

[riri]

Frivolous comment — Can’t believe Bachmann is 55 years old. She’s damn gorgeous. Very inspirational.

[Yaelle]

I zap Bachman with a little ele tric shock eachntime she says “uninted” states There is only one n in united.

[Reagan69]

Cain is weak tonight.

[jakerobins]

Agreed. But I don’t like him lecturing Sen. DeMint....

[Revolting cat!]

Peggy Noone in this morn WSJ:

Mitt Romney, of course, did well, and continues to deserve an award for Heroic Self Discipline in the Cutaway Shot. He looks at the other candidates with a benign, encouraging look, as if he'll take no pleasure in it at all when he squashes them like bugs.
