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

[lonevoice]

Obama: I’m black.

ROFL! Best post on the thread so far.

[JimSEA]

Without a doubt Santorum’s best point thus far in the debate. Paul’s comic relief on foreign policy was good as well. LOL

[mylife]

BINGO!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Sant is playing team game.

Santo just played the blame Bush card.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

——This is kind of sad. This debate thread moves slower in terms of posts than any debate thread I’ve ever seen on FR. Why? Because it’s a complete echo-chamber delivering no useful information. It’s no less astro-turf for Gingrich than the stacked audience is for Romney.———

LOL! I just read the first sentence and think, oh, ok, skip this one...

Santorum just stood up to the audience. Nice.

Romney is very well rehearsed. I swish he’d have an “I like cars” moment.

true-—in the Orlando/Disneyworld area

[advance_copy]

Ron Paul is the biggest FAKE on that stage. Why doesn’t he just go join his leftist hate-America-first buddies in the RAT party?

[Irish Eyes]

Santorum is SO not ready for prime time and Romney is smarmy.

[nascarnation]

per Rush, there are pockets of 6 dollars around Disney and Miami.

Gasbuddy shows most of FL in the high 3 range

[mardi59]

King is taking his anger out on Newt because of the slapdown he got from Newt when he last moderated. All Romney all the time.

[Netizen]

Same here in MI.

I just hope that for the General it is Newt or Santorum.

[GOPJ]

My tag:

GAS WAS $1.85 per gallon on the day Obama was Inaugurated! - - freeper Gaffer

[pyx]

...$6/gallon in Florida today. Is that true? Anyone living Florida?

Yes. It is true. This article at CBS discusses what some gas stations are charging.

[Kenny]

Why is there no discussion of gas prices, or keystone pipeline? Someone needs to call John King out on this horrible line of questions.

We're not talking about that because Romney didn't want to. Brushed the subject aside as being less important than Iran. Amazing how no one pushes him on this kind of thing.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Because it is easy to do that and hide behind a computer.

Sometimes, peoples personalities change when on the keyboard.

Also, easier to tear down a guy rather than say something positive about the one you DO support.

I think our common ground here is: a) we do not support Romney, and b) we want Obama as a one term president.

[rodguy911]

YEah,I can’t argue with RUsh who keeps saying anyone but obama. My preference is Newt. He is head and shoulders above the rest.

[matginzac]

Totally agree and said it earlier on the thread...
SO high school on our side...
(but I’m loving this debate....but they need a beer in hand and need to tune out the dope “running the show”...)

[show]

Newt and Santorum voters will vote for Ron Paul in order to get rid of Romney in Virginia.

[clamper1797]

Wish I could say the same. People in AZ seem to really like Romney.

Not all of us

[Sacajaweau]

Pres: Newt

VP Rick Perry

Sec state: Bolton
