“Mitt and Newt hacking away at each other...both bleeding badly.”
I have to agree. Maybe they should settle it the old fashioned way like Hamilton and Burr. Pistols at 10 paces at noon.
That was all set up to give Mitt his attack Newt time...unlimited. I don’t look for a Gingrich/Romney ticket ;)
Romney and Gingrich have baggage. It’s not too impressive to see these two going ‘round and ‘round. Our best candidates are gone. I think Gingrich is the best of the bunch but can he survive (the bad stuff of) his past? I don’t think he’s really straightforwardly answering the issues his opponents are bringing up. I don’t like the answer of “Well, the American people can see through these accusations.” That was a Cain response instead of being straightforward and meeting these charges head on. If they’re true than man up and explain or convince us about a genuine change of heart.
I'm in Connecticut - my Cox Cable on-screen guide says "Fear Factor" on NBC - 9-10pm ET, but hour-long the Brian Williams debate is running.
Strange and rather boring debate, IMO...
Is that your opus?
Okay, what the heck? Did I just hear Santorum say the gov’t should help these people who can’t afford to pay off the loans for their homes?
Live stream working great for me:

Fred Thompson just endorsed Newt Gingrich on Hannity.
A quote for Mitt:
Born in vice, say it twice.
Born in sin, come on in.
Great news!!! Thanks for posting it.
Yark!
;<)
Oh, DUH. It’s delayed here, not on until 8 MT. Sorry for the uninformed question. Man, I hate not being able to see it along with the rest of you!
Why do the republicans agree to have debates with these liberals??
I can't either, but other than incorrectly assigning Santorum with remarking about Romney's "capitalism," I'm pleasantly surprised with the tone of the moderator.
Agree that he's been more focused on the personal attacks, but most of the personal attacks between the candidates are on matters of policy substance.
I wonder how much of the public will become aware of how big a liar Romney is.
Yeah...here on west coast it is delayed...I’m watching on mediate.com
Newt is energized by the audience response and really shines under those circumstances. NBC will not allow this to happen.
People wont care. Newt needs to move forward and go back to attacking Obama and the elites.
Newt to Brian ..... Brian, this is a circular firing squad and while I know you & NBC want to see a cage match between me and Gov. Romney, we are big boys & will deal with each other on our own time and our own dimes. YOU need to act like a moderator and start asking questions about the issues killing the American people under the Obama regime ... how about lets talk about Keystone for starters???? (audience gives standing ‘O’). That would end the ‘coma debate’ IMHO
Mitt’s strategy is kinda cheap tonight. It won’t do him any good.
