Not!!

[Proudcongal]

I’m so sick of hearing Romney. Shut up!!!! ABC has no control of this debate. For the remainder of the debate, they should let Newt, Perry and Santorum speak. Enough of Romney, Huntsman and Paul.

[murron]

She sounds a lot like Martha Stewart.

[katiedidit1]

what outstanding point did he make tonight? he is so artificial and plastic imo. He is reiterating the same ole same ole comments used over and over by so many candidates..Newt is the spark but doesnt get enough air time

[onyx]

WOnder if Huntsman actually said: “Willard, you’re an ignoramus!”

LOLOL. I wish he would have. Show some LIFE, Huntsman!

[Reily]

To all
I now see it this way:
Romney-Newt (tie)
Santorum-Perry (tie)
Huntsman
Paul stilling running for the presidency of Iran

[Rational Thought]

Well, the gang on ABC has already decided That Romney has won the debate. In my eyes, Gingrich has shined, and some of Santorum’s responses have been very good.

[Kenny]

I hate to admit it, but Romney is an excellent debater.

Yeah but he's like every other politician, promising the moon and delivering a 25 watt bulb. We have to look at their records because they WILL do exactly what they've been doing once elected.

[Yaelle]

Huntsman: "我将占据的同性恋者" ----- What the hey?

[lahargis]

lol - that last post didn’t come out right... here is what I meant to quote...

“They won’t give Perry airtime because he’s ALREADY DONE all the things he plans to do at the fed level.”

Good point!

lol

[CainConservative]

Willard speaks French fluently. Junior, Chinese.

I’ll call it a dork draw.

[Vermont Lt]

He’s gone Asiatic.

[tennmountainman]

He attacked the media.
When is he going to go Postal on Romney?
He’s been timid on Romney, so far.

[onyx]

WOO-HOO!!!

[LostInBayport]

The speaking in Mandarin thing was the best thing Huntsman said all night, ‘cause it cranked up the FR Humor Machine! You all are cracking me up!

[seekthetruth]

Mine would be Perry/Gingrich as Newt would also be President of the Senate.

[RasterMaster]

Indeed....Santorum taking it to Paul, Romney and Obama.

[Leep]

Didnt Romney have his hair frosted?

[4Liberty]

Is Huntsmans main campiagn contributor Mao-Mart?

[Cruising For Freedom]

Romney’s spewing of ignorant populist warfare was just appalling.

Yes, we have a lot of issues with China. But it’s more nuanced than it’s made out to be, as Huntsman correctly pointed out, and what Romney said was obviously a very transparent attempt to throw out “red meat” and shore up his imaginary conservative credentials.

I hate him.
