By Nate, on January 7th, 2012

Tonight will mark the first of two debates this weekend focused on the New Hampshire Republican primary. This evening's debate will take place at Saint Anselm College and is sponsored by ABC News, Yahoo! and WMUR. Sunday morning will feature a GOP debate broadcast on NBC at 9am ET (yes, am) but look for more details on that later today.

Air Time: Saturday, January 7th at 9pm ET / 6pm PT on ABC

Live Stream: WMUR and Yahoo! News

Participants: Santorum, Romney, Paul, Perry, Gingrich, Huntsman

Report from WMUR:

[CainConservative]

Great answer by Newt defending marriage as a SACRAMENT that ought to be protected.

Newt then gets applause pointing out Christian biggotry, then loser Willard jumps on the train.

GO NEWT!

[cornelis]

Newt had the courage and is the leader. Both Romney and Perry followed through.

[dforest]

Too much Ron Paul tonight.

I can’t stand Diane and Snuffleuppagus. ugh

They are jackasses. Paul gets a good stab at Mitt. LOL

[Windflier]

Will there be discussion tonight on the economy?

Have you forgotten who owns the economy, and who's moderating this debate?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Meanwhile, 1% huntsman keeps getting serious questions, the media trying to make him look serious. I don’t know why Huntsman gets to be in the debates, and Buddy Roemer didn’t.

[Vision]

She looks sick/hungover and green.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Now Perry smacking Obama on bias against Christianity

Diane (hiccup) asking Huntsman a question on AfghanistN.

[Jane Long]

Perry and Newt the only two smacking down this regime.

[altura]

Oh, the leftist journalists love Ron Paul. He always gets a lot of questions.

They think, probably rightly, that he makes all conservatives look like kooks.

[Kenny]

I think I may be tied between Newt and Perry. Love them both.

[Cato in PA]

I think so too. Newt has also had some good moments, but that’s to be expected.

I’m a little disappointed with Santorum, to be honest.

[MissMagnolia]

FLOP sweat!! :-)

[EDINVA]

Newt made that 20 wasted minutes on gay marriage worth it by showing the total bias and bigotry by those who claim all the gays want is a nice, long term loving marriage. THAT is why I like Newt. He gets right down to the underlying issues and expresses them perfectly (smacking the media while he’s at it is a real plus).

[LostInBayport]

Perry doing very well tonight.

Good on him for mentioning Obama's orders to not defend DOMA!

[Yaelle]

Romney looks fatigued. No more little smirk. Newt got it over on him.

[WVNan]

Put me on the ping list please. Thank you.

[KansasGirl]

Newt, Perry, or Santorum. I will work and donate money to get any of them elected.

I hit mute every time Paul and Huntsman open their mouths. Huntsman puts me to sleep. Paul sounds like a nut.

[Vermont Lt]

Maybe that’s what the lady in Alaska is planning. What an interesting fall that would make.

[af_vet_rr]

Agree. If Romney sweeps the nominating contest, a nationwide third party will rise the very next day. Bet on it.

75% of us do NOT want this charlatan.

AMEN! If Willard gets the nomination, I will not vote for him. I will find a true Conservative running for President.

[CharlesWayneCT]

As did Gingrich. But I guess that shows that we don’t NEED Gingrich to make those attacks. Even Romney was able to attack.
