And the audiance is openly rebelling by applauding now

I wonder if NBC will have to return Romney's money now

[icwhatudo]

Santorum with a nice smackdown of Paul on “You are right, its not 1962” re:Iran working with Venezuela etc.

[Fawn]

Just great. My on-the-fence-animal-lover just sent me this article:

NBC already posting for Mitt:

Romney Takes It To Gingrich At Outset of Florida Debate

[Jane Long]

I know...just having fun since he mentions it (seemingly) with every answer he gives...regardless the question. Kinda like John F’n Kerry serving in Viet Nam ;)

[j.argese]

Is it me or does Ron Paul look like Abe Vigoda’s younger brother?

[Pravious]

None of the debates has been worthless, to me. Each has shown me some aspect of one or more of the candidates that I hadn’t picked up on before. Last time, it was on how nasty Santorum can be. He’s backed off tonight, but Romney has taken his place.

TWEET FROM Brent Bozell:

RT @BrentBozell: 9:45—45 minutes into the debate and Williams still hasn’t suggested a SINGLE negative thing about the Obama administration

[writer33]

Yes, sir.

[AFPhys]

EXACTLY: Newt “The American people have no interest in going to war anywhere!”

[goodnesswins]

Hmmm...just lost audio from mediate.com

[Boardwalk]

Mittens keeping ceilings open for Iraq.

Newt says the American people have no interst in going to war anywhere. The most dangerous possible thing, which btw 0bama has done is cancel a military exercise with the the Isrealies.

[llandres]

“I disagree. Every question is an attempt to get one of the candidates to criticize the others.”

You darn betcha. And now he’s trying to portray the Repubs as war-mongering hawks and heartless on immigration.

[imchris]

I couldn’t believe Joe Paterno died before Castro.

[Revolting cat!]

Historian Newt doesn’t know that it was the Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor? Uh, huh!
