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

[Tennessee Nana]

Newt

RomneyCare or ObamaCare...

[ohioWfan]

Reading through posts trying to find rational discussion of the actual debate.

Going to skip over yours from now on, as they don't qualify.....

No surprises there.

[Deo volente]

Newt: Big government inevitably moves towards tyranny.

[newzjunkey]

It's deplorable and Newt was smart to point out the Left doesn't get grilled with the same eye. Obama's vote was deplorable and NRLC attempted to nail him on it in 2008.

[Irish Eyes]

Romney is trying to give Newt the look that he used on Perry. Perry said is was creepy.

[Red Steel]

Nice try Newt says to Mittens.

...Explicit order from Romney for birth control. He goes on to explain.

[Pravious]

Another amazing answer for Newt.

[GlockThe Vote]

Newt and Paul are doing well.

[Girlene]

I don’t know what you’re watching, but Santorum did great on that one. All four candidates are doing well with this subject matter.

Now Newt brings up Romney care/obamacare and the coercion of state in healthcare.

[Utmost Certainty]

hahahahaha Ron Paul just slaughtered Santorum

[AmericanInTokyo]

“hormonally”? (sic)

[dandiegirl]

Newt is so great. I will be very disappointed if he is not the nominee. Santorum isn’t ready yet. Newt is doing very well turning things around and not making it personal.

[womanvet]

Why does Noot always hold his wrist?

To keep from reaching for a whiteboard marker, I suppose.

I sure wish I could see or hear it -- my connexion is so bad that I can hear a few words and then it freezes. I need you guys to let me know what is happening

[Art in Idaho]

OMG Newt just nailed it, "The power of the state. . Tyranny. . " GO NEWT!!

[eyedigress]

Close, Mesa is the Mormon Capital of the Sonoran desert.

[mylife]

Santorumn is bombing a s a big Gov spender.

[Revolting cat!]

Newt again kicks the ball out of the park for a hole in one!

[Son House]

To Ron Paul, the Morning After is post conception.

[matginzac]

Yay for NEWT... and I’m sure the other guys agree...all on same page, duh.

[C. Edmund Wright]

And now little Ricky is starting to backpeddle on his Title 20 - another Santorum idea to spend more money and expand government. It’s what he does. Always.
