LIVE DEBATE THREAD (Is it too early to start?)

[Red_Devil 232]

Tag team to keep Newt from answering - here we go at attenpting to shut Newt out!

[imchris]

Santorum said Mitt = Occupy Wall Street :)

[mylife]

Peeing contest with Ricky and Myth!

[CAluvdubya]

If this is just going to be Romney and Santorum then there’s no reason to watch.

[2111USMC]

The audience is so stacked, I fully expected to hear John King say the National Anthem would be sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!!

LOL!

[katiedidit1]

Damn congress talks about entitlements BUT they get a hefty pension for LIFE and the best healthcare if they only serve ONE term=4 yrs.

[KJC1]

This has all the fixins for a Santorum/Romney duel. These moderators start this sh*t from the get-go.

Having said that, I bet Newt is inwardly laughing, lol.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I am so right there with you.

I think Santorum sounds good tonight.

[mardi59]

Here we go. King gives Romney the opening to attack Santorum and he takes it. Now Santorum goes at Romney. King is not giving the other two a chance.

Romney bragging about himself is getting quite boring.

[Irish Eyes]

Santorum is running on and on and on.

It is going to go back and forth all night with Romney and Santorum , with rebuttal time.

[Red Steel]

Mittens says Santorum raised the debt ceiling 5 times.

CNN now going after Newt of spending. Gingrich pivots against CNN.

[Pravious]

“If this is just going to be Romney and Santorum then there’s no reason to watch.”

A cure for insomnia?

[rodguy911]

We are stuck with a charisma challenged gang of four.That said, any are better than the dear Leader.

[MagUSNRET]

I would love to see a graph (Ala that fella with his “dial a response”)....so show REAL TIME< how much time the candidates are taking to respond....Im guessing Mittens would be off the charts (hence the reason we will never see the aforementioned clock graphs ;-)

[Bronzy]

I hope so. It has been Rick & Mitt so far.

[Toespi]

All Romney all Santorum. Bs

[mylife]

Newt/Perry!

[KansasGirl]

I can’t atand the way Romney sits there staring down Newt! listen and learn, Romney!

[Reily]

To me the applause level between Romney and Newt seemed about the same. Paul seemed to have fewer followers there tonight.

[imchris]

CNN now asking Ron Paul to attack Rick.
