Bachmann pandered for Cain supporters mentioning 9-9-9.

Post debate analysis from ABC... Newt not on defense, Romney didn't engage.

My take on this debate,

Newt,
Romney/Perry Tie
Santorum(but not that far behind Romney & Perry)
Bachman - I would have said tied with Santorum until she made that snarky comment about Cain.
Paul

Newt shows again he is the best debater.

They all are getting really good at debating, even Perry. I think Bachmann will bet a bump from this.

While many here will, the majority of the country did not.

Definitely his best debate to date....and I still think he had the quote of the debate:

“The president is the problem, not something Newt Gingrich said.’

IMO. Newt stays same. Perry gains. And Milt sinks. (That 10k bet line will be mocked for weeks).

Seemed from this debate there is no foreign policy issue,except something Newt Gingrich said. oh and there is no president Obama screwing up the country.

Biased moderators but still a good debate.

That reminds me. On Blue Bloods, the PC attended some kind of dinner and Tony Bennett was singing. He’s 85 and still has a great voice.

We're not voting here, we're in the vetting process. Primaries pick the top contender and that's what counts.

Yup! We should all take that advice. Obama is the enemy not the Republican candidates.

Interesting thought. hmmm?

Yes, it was classy and heartfelt. Newt and Rick were the clear winners, imho.
