Remember, they really don't want to talk about the REAL issues, because that would really do damage to obama. Just fluff, trying to get the candidates to attack one another and of course, the ever present social issues.

It was hilarious. It definately showed how stupid the lame stream media has gotten. But then maybe they are just lazy. In the last 3 years they haven't done much but push the healthcare fiasco and redefine illegal aliens that have taken jobs and deflated wages in this country. They try to say Republicans are hung up on social issues but it didn't seem to me that any of the candidates were chomping at the bit to make it an issue. They realize the economy is priority.

My god, what the heck is WRONG with her? I think she takes herself way, way too seriously, tries to pretend she is asking deep, deep questions.

Newt .. man.. he should not have even said what he did.

I have knowledge of how to run the Military because I was a Military brat. Ok, you know what it is like to be a Military Dependent... still does not give you experience as a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine.

I did like how they called out the Candidates on their comments about the other Candidates pretty much from the start. That was popcorn time.

Last thing, WTH was it with the Condom question? Where is that coming from?

Any way to avoid the REAL issues.

I heard him bring it up twice, I also noticed Romney blew off answering "Why not get rid of all the loopholes"???

Lots joking around about the constitution I didn't really think was very funny either...

But my favorite was when Ron Paul absolutely owned Newt on being a Chickenhawk!!!

Can you tell us specifically which candidate you think would be more difficult to beat?

I believe Romney wishes he could just coast into his campaign against Obama. More exposure on Romney is not going to help him.

The problem is the whole field is soft. Don't see any real winners. Reagan was the master debater, he seemed stupid, but managed to make Mondale look like a buffoon.

I think it was good that Huntsman got more air time, and he was good with his responses. It furthered my feeling that next to Paul, he's by far the best candidate. I really don't understand why he doesn't have more support, although he definitely could be the next "not Romney" after Santorum flops. As for Romney, I like what he says, but it totally contradicts his record. Sorry guys, I just don't trust him.

Mondale was sort of a buffoon.
