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

[Fledermaus]

That’s closer to the Reagan tax code than any candidate so far.

[sandshark222]

Agreed, 100%. .

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I hear you! Well said. If this stupidity continues and they make the grave error of voting in Santorum, it will be more than a simple lower standard, it will be a complete disaster!

[Severa]

We’re in southern MD, about an hour and a half southeast from DC. Regular unleaded is around $3.62/gal

[Reily]

To all
my rankings

Newt
{Huge Gap!}
Santorum-Romney-Paul tie

[phoneman08]

This Santorum supporter has come home to Newt.

With all the marbles on the line tonight, Santorum laid an egg. Can’t afford this kind of debate performance against Obama.

[Pravious]

PRESS SEC: Andrew Breitbart

Nah. I’d go with Rush Limbaugh. LOL.

[Jane Long]

Were those RombamaBots holding up those weird, handmade signs? One said “Fluffhead” and one said “Frothy”. What’s up with that?

[sillsfan]

When you can get B-slapped hard by Paul, you’re not presidential timber.
sorry santo

[imchris]

Jedi, hahahaha :)

Thanks, I’ll do it.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Paul has a deal with romney...who will give him what he wants at the nomination day.

Paul is a mean spirited slime ball.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Santorum’s not being “attacked”. We're choosing a presidential candidate. And Santorum, while a social conservative, is not a fiscal conservative.

And Santorum, while a good family man, is not ready for the oval office. He lacks depth, experience, vision and based on tonight's performance, communication skills.

My goal is to beat Obama and restore this nation. Santorum is not ready to do either, never mind both.

But Santorum is young. A few years under Newt's tutelage and he may be ready in a eight years.

(MHO, of course ;-) )

[Flycatcher]

Yes!!!!!

Here in Arizona, my wife and I cast our two mail-in ballots for Newt one week ago.

IT IS PATENTLY OBVIOUS WE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE!!!!

GO NEWT!

[Gator113]

“Saint Rick got destroyed”

Yes, but, but, but..... Satan caused it.

Even Paul was successful in beating Ricky up. LOL

President Newt Gingrich—”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”

[RitaOK]

Bolton, you may already know, is campaigning for Romney. I was so disappointed.

[mylife]

If he doesnt, we could be stuck with romney by supporting newt.

[Lauren BaRecall]

I noticed that too. With one point in particular.

[matginzac]

I don’t think so...this Virginian will sit the primary out because my guy’s not on the damn ballot (stooopid VA Pubbie Party...) but I’ll be buggered if I vote for Paul because my guy’s not on the ballot...dumb idea.

[Irish Eyes]

Not all of us

Great to hear

:)
