Romney - Pretend like your watching Sesame Street. Today's Mitt Romney is brought to you by the word "Earmark" which you'll probably here from his mouth a zillion times trying to counter a Santorum attack (along with that creepy staredown grin that nobody ever calls him on). Take a drink whenever he does either. If Santorum or Newt draw blood, he's in more trouble. But even if he draws, depending on the circumstances, it may still not be enough.
Santorum - In tonight's play, Barack Obama will be played by Mitt Romney, in which Santorum will turn Romney into a punching bag designed to show what it will look like if he got a shot at the real Obama in the ring. Santorum's ready for this. As quickly as Romney says "Earmarks", Santorum will be back with Romney=Obamacare, TARP, and Climate change. Drink on either occurrences. Santorum will also have to defend himself on the social questions bound to come tonight after some of his comments. He has to defend himself strongly, because if he doesn't, as strangely as it sounds, Newt Gingrich will do it for him.
Newt - Standard ideas, probably won't attack anyone with two exceptions. If he gets a question on his "viability" and current polls, Newt is going to launch into a tirade at the VA GOP and the ballot access issue there. Trust me, that's already been worked in there somewhere should the same situation arise. But the more likely "indignant" moment where Newt takes off at the media is likely not to come at a question directed at him, but at Rick Santorum. For example, if Santorum doesn't do a good or strong enough job defending himself on his comments and stances this week from the social issues (Satan, birth control, etc), Newt's going to go after the media for asking stupid questions with idiot premises to begin with. Trust me, that one is worked in there too should the situation arise. Finally, if neither of the two cases present themselves, Newt may suggest the participants as chicken for backing out of the debate on March 1. However, if he goes with that route, look for Romney, Santorum, or even Paul to bring up Ben Jones and 1994.
Paul - He's an idiot on foreign policy, and tonight we probably find out that he is wishy washy on social issues as well. Whenever he says something kooky, stupid, or downright dangerous, then take a drink. If you don't get alcohol poisoning, I commend you.
WEll, post debate - they’ve interviewed SAnctimonious, mittens and paul - then Gov. Brewer - and and - now there’re going to ‘highlights’ -
ummmm what’s mssing?
Oh, yes. I guess they forgot NEWT -
I’m sure that’s not deliberate -
I just wanted to ask a general to everyone question. I have seen some veriation of (Obama is the greatest debater up there and would destroy candidate X”
Please tell me A: where you got this insane notion; B: examples of video showing the supposed supreme skill of Obama as a debater with no teleprompter - which he will not have debating anyone later this year.
I’m not trying to be a smart-asz here, I really want to know. I have seen this over and over in debate and other threads and it is just a result of ‘the telephone game’. One person said it and now it’s canon law.
Bull. Obama cannot debate a grasshopper with any more skill than he shows at any other off-teleprompter event...which is none.
I was unable to watch the debate, but I’ve perused some of the comments. It’s discouraging to read people who sound every bit as smarmy as the Obots. Hardly a sober pro-Newt comment in the crowd.
Newsflash: Newt will never overcome Romney at this juncture, and if it’s not Rick, it WILL be Mitt! Not my fancy, but that’s reality. Rick is our FINAL hope. Bob
Newt won. No question about it!
2nd plastic man Romney
3rd Paul just because he was funny
4th Santorum
Funniest moment was when Paul was asked why he called Rick fake and he said “Because he is”.
Paul once again proved he’s got some good ideas but that he’s crazier than a bed bug and he would just mean more years of sleepless nights, same as the last 3 years.
I can’t tell if mittens reminds me more of Barbie’s plastic Ken boyfriend, Barry II or a Robot.
Santorum is insipid and his voting record speaks for itself plus he’s wayyyyyyyyyyy too timid to go after Barry the Marxist, so is mittens. They go after him, but they don’t hit below the belt. Newt is the only one with enough cajones to do that.
How did the left go after the wonderful Sarah Palin? They didn’t attack her politics, they did a character ass assination and to defeat Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama, that is what the GOP has to do and they have to figure out how to do it since they will get no help from the media. A rally road to travel.
After tonight’s debate, don’t forget to vote for the winner!
