We’re watching. Disappointed that not even C-Span or any of the other news networks are carrying. The format is great. They are actually discussing issues rather than spouting canned responses to questions. Romney is doing well. My prediction now is that the ticket will be Romney/Cain and that they beat Obama/Biden by at least 55 to 45.
I like what Newt says but can’t accept his hypocrisy on moral issues. Character counts. Ron Paul is the most honest of the lot, but would have a hard tie winning the general election.
Moon – it’s just a prediction and we’ll see what happens. I agree with those who said we have a President now who has not an inkling of an idea of how to create jobs or wealth. Romney has the experience in government and business to do that. Cain appeals to the conservatives and would balance the ticket. Cain knows also what’s needed to create jobs – like Romney, he’s done it.
That was clearly the best of the debates. I loved the format. Perry needed to shine…he didn’t. I think it’s a Romney-Cain horserace now. I’d rather have Cain, but I think I can vote for Romney without holding my nose (as with Juan McAmnesty). Romney/Cain on the same ticket??? I don’t see that. How about Romney/Palin? 🙂 Just kidding!
@Morris Davis
Or, any of the ACTUAL OWS protestors who could turn the debate topic to the Jews and how evil they are! Of course, we could play this game all night, but obviously, I win with comment 7 and the “steamer-on-the-table” scenario! I am epic win!!
Romney/Cain!!!! Obama/Biden unemployed and hoping President Romney and VP Cain do a better job creating a job for them than they have done for everyone else.
Cargosquid :
I think Cain came in second, Perry third, ……was there anybody else on the debate?
Santorum gets so pissy when they don’t let him talk! It’s actually the comic relief of these debates! Santorum is right that the family is in the toilet…..but what the hell is the federal government supposed to do about that?!?
Slow – Why settle for, as you say , “a steamer on the table” when you can enjoy two hours with 8 around the table? I was waiting for Hank to bust out “Are you ready for a freak show? Are you ready for some Bachmann and some Herman Cain? Newt and Mitt and Perry and Santorum, too; Ron Paul and Huntsman round out the crew. They ain’t too bright, but they sure ain’t lazy, they just plain ‘ol bat s@*t crazy.”
Looks like it will be Romney’s nomination to lose which might not be such a bad thing. At least Romney believes in universal health care. If he does win, we can go back to the times when deficits don’t matter anymore, just as they didn’t under the prior Repug administration.
As far as Romney goes….we Repugs do have a way with “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again until you’re a running joke”, don’t we? Local, State, and Federal, same story.
NTK, maybe there will be a Romney/Christie ticket. That makes more sense. I wouldn’t be measuring for White House drapes yet though. The election is light years away.
I also liked Romney’s quip about Cain’s “9-9-9” tax plan when he asked if that was a special deal on one of his pizzas. Bwahaha, that was freakin’ hilarious!
Well, those folks aren’t exactly MY world view, pokie, I think they are a whole bunch of people thrown in together with different causes. I just don’t want to call them names and make fun of them. People who do wrong, fair game. (your buddy and the cop car should have been arrested regardless of who he was).
My world view is probably a lot tamer than yours, actually. I grew up in a college town where the rules were much more clearly established than they are now.
Starry, I liked that also. I also liked Bachmann’s response about 6-6-6 and the devil being in the details.
What Cain isn’t saying is what is going to happen when state and local start piling on. Also, would you pay sales tax on a car, a house, A $300,000 house would carry an extra $27,000 bucks. How about if you rented an apartment? That’s an extra $135 a month.
Screw that. Cain’s plan would kill us all.
I am not ready to give the feds another way to tax us without a stop time. What is to keep that 9 from turning in to a 19 or a 29%? It doesn’t sound real conservative to me, does it to you?
Who is that rude woman who continually interrupts Mitt Romney?
I was hoping for the second hour they would get rid of Charlie Rose and let Hank Williams, Jr. be the moderator.

NTK, in your dreams.
I really dislike the rude woman. Romney is doing well. I stopped watching live, because Ringer is on. I am recording.
@Moon-howler
Would you please stop referring to Newt Gingrich as “the rude woman?”
Can’t tell what the heckler was saying right there at the end.
Or, instead of Bocephus, maybe the OWS protestor who could take a dump on the debate round-table!

@Slowpoke Rodriguez
Or maybe we could get the right wing journalist from American Prospect that led the charge on the Air and Space Museum as a fake OWS protestor.

It was the Mitt Romney show, what little of it I watched. He was questioned from all sides.
And he handled the pressure well.
I think Cain came in second, Perry third, ……was there anybody else on the debate?
just turn that 999 upside down and you 666! Loved that zinger from Michelle, wonder how long they worked on that one?

@Slowpoke Rodriguez
Pokie! I don’t want to hear anything else about your obsession!!
@Morris Davis
Moe, I love it!
@Starry, Romney and Huntsman are the only ones who aren’t laughable. I could live with Romney if we could just take him back to his governor days.
Har-Har-Har!!!
I sometimes forget that cheap shots are only allowed from one direction….mea culpa!!
As far as Romney goes….we Repugs do have a way with “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again until you’re a running joke”, don’t we? Local, State, and Federal, same story.
NTK, maybe there will be a Romney/Christie ticket. That makes more sense. I wouldn’t be measuring for White House drapes yet though. The election is light years away.
My admonishment was not about cheap shots. It was about discussing something you are obsessing over that I find repulsive.
Cheap shot? Noooooooo. Gross animal is more like it.

@Moon-howler
Like I have said before….we see…..we know. Hey, I wouldn’t him associated with my world view, either!

Good old tax and spend Cain.
I’m with you on that one Moon. 9-9-9 would soon turn into 30-30-30.
If you don’t want to vote for Cain….
It means you hate……..
pizza.
