You know he meant Cruz.

[xm177e2]

Anyone catch Cruz talking about that home building stuff? It sounded like he was suggesting that local governments get into the home building business. Did I misunderstand his mumbo jumbo or what?

He said if we raised property taxes, there would be more homes, because local gov'ts would have more incentive to build them. But what would that do to housing prices, if taxes were increased?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Bustamonte's performance was adequate. Nothing more, but That's all he needs to be in order to get the Dim base behind him.

As a Democrat, he could have recommended government sanctioned Satan worship and eating children. He still would keep the Dem voter base. Our people have to work for their votes.

[Smogger]

Tom and Arnold are both winners in my book.

They didn't attack eachother at all like ppl on FR. :)

RE: Debate Summary

Just tuned in - that's what I was looking for - great summary !!! LOL !!!

[TomasUSMC]

Just finished watching the debate. Tom won with Camejo close at his heels. Adrianna and Arnold came in tied in a death grip with each other dead last. Bustamonte was asleep the whole time.

[gortklattu]

The McClintock plants are hitting the radio talk shows.

[lainie]

When the cat's right, the cat's right! except for the cruz. He's not redeeming in any way.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

My input follows:

Green Guy: content 2, presentation 4, psychosis modifier -15, total -90 Arianna: content 0, presentation 1, annoyance factor -20, Perot clone -5, total -25

[xrp]

If Hillarys Gate Cult is really worried about images slowing down his/her connection, he/she can turn off images in his/her web browser instead of complaining like a Democrat.

[68 grunt]

My take; Arnie did good, not great, and I woulda laughed at the greek more and responded less. Tom did excellent! I'm glad that he was on the stage to balance the attack, and he did really well, helping Arnie out, and especially by not attacking him. Both our camp's leaders behaved with dignity. Cruz is pathetic. The watermellon is scary. The greek? Can't understand normal thinking!

[abigail2]

Cojones. Cajones is boxes, as in cardboard!

OOPS!! Cardboard boxes will do in this case!

[Partisan Hack]

Anybody want to BET that the LA TIMES comes out with a PUSH POLL showing Tom AHEAD of Arnold out of desperation in a hope to split the GOP???

You are brilliant! I should have seen that one coming as clear as day.

[DoughtyOne]

I predict the Los Angeles Times will hawk Cruz and Tom. Just my take on that game plan.

[Jerez2]

"you are so right....Arnold, Cruz and Tom should have been the debate...."

Yeah, but by putting on Arianna and the Watermelon, they shifted the whole spectrum to the Left. Isn't that what they wanted to do?? Give LOTS more time to the Leftist point of view?

Well, that's what happened!

[supercat]

I really like Tom McClintock.

So does Cruz Bustamante.

If McClintock ends up endorsing Arnold at the 11th Hour, not only will it will push Arnold over the top, but Arnold will have gotten enormous value from Tom's presence in the debates. There's a huge difference between a debate that's 3 against 2, and one that's 2 against 1.

[Afronaut]

On debate style, McClintock won, but image wise, Arnold won this.

I do not agree, Arnold looked silly in many points. He should have been serious and not a hack comic. He was very general in his statements and was not very Impressive.

I wonder what the numbers will show...

[DoctorMichael]

Thanks for the new word..........."Desultory"

No problemo.

[Ciexyz]

ouch, the Fox panel is saying, "Ariana's a good debator, she adds polish, she was president of the Cambridge union debate society" -- AREN'T THEY KIND!

[prairiebreeze]

Heh, good point
