2012 GOP Presidential Campaign -- "This individual's going to accuse me of an affair for an extended period of time."

I want them to draw blood from Romney. I want them to break his kneecaps.

i understand why fox viewers think gingrich is intelligent bc compared to these examiners he is clearly much brighter. or as Sullivan said earlier today, he's what stupid people imagine smart people are like.

eh, i think you're undercrediting him. but he clearly overcredits himself, so . . .

ANNNNNNND, here's ricky.

the problem with santorum is that he comes off like a petulent teenager.

LOLGOP Pete Nicely -- If this felt any less important, I'd think I was watching Glenn Beck TV. #HuckForum

haha.

"The President was dealing with an insurrection." That's exactly like when Democrats tried the "The President was dealing with an erection" defense.

eh, i think you're undercrediting him

??

oh, i misread your post. sorry.

also, i'm itching for a gingrich/obama general election, so . . . i'm bias.

"Values that undermine--excuse me, undergird our country..."--great!

why does ken whatshisnamevirginiaguy so anti-santorum?

why does pam bondi sound so dumb?

why is ken whats...

santorum could gain some momentum if he could calm down and not bite into questions so badly. he's a missed opportunity for the GOP, but his moment is gone.

LOLGOP Pete Nicely -- Rick Santorum is like your friend's friend you're interviewing for the job as a favor.

LOLGOP Pete Nicely -- Looking at these state Attorney Generals compared to Rick Santorum makes you realize that these candidates are the best the GOP can do. #sad

lol

Hey, Santorum just made reference to his opponents. I cry foul.

sounds like they're saving mitt romney for last. lol.

at this point, no-one is taking perry serious. sad!

I came for the Newt, I stayed for the Mitt.

"Boots on the ground"--think I hate that almost as much as "game-changer."

"at the end of the day" it's just a cliche.

Josh Marshall agrees with you, Daniel: "Newt's campaign made sure to send 'Good Newt' tonight, pretty cool and polished, making good reference to his knowledge of the workings of the federal government without seeming pompous. I think if you're a Republican looking to be reassured that Newt's got his feet on the ground and himself under control, you probably think he's doing pretty well."

i actually am 70% of "newt's campaign." the remaining 30% are child-laborers who work for tiffany's.

Uh-oh--Rick's talking about which departments he'd eliminate. Red flag, red flag.

I love how he says "legisla-tors."

no one even believes he's still running for president, so . . .

the real issue here is which GOP candidate will scoop up perry's ad-maker (who is aces).

low blow mike huckabee!

asking rick perry to define strict constructionism. shameful, gotcha question.

I hope they ask Mitt the favorite-founding-father question twice, right at the start and right at the end.

i hope for mitt, they bring out the props (e.g., video clips of his contrary prior positions, and copies of early editions of his books).

Mitt: "You already asked me that."
Panelist: "Just checking in..."

"Fundamentally"? Hey, copyright infringement!

this is a crazy-off of the highest-order.

"I can...I can come out in support of that." What a strange way to word that.

I do love when these people are forced to explain the logistics of something.

Paul now #2 in Iowa:

Newt Gingrich - 25% (+18)
Ron Paul - 18% (+6)
Mitt Romney - 16% (-6)
Herman Cain - 8% (-15)
Michele Bachmann - 8% (+0)
Rick Perry - 6% (-1)
Rick Santorum - 6% (+1)
Jon Huntsman - 2% (+1)

if that riddler look-a-like would end his doomed campaign, newt would open an even bigger gap against robot-mitt romney.

paul has a ceiling

ron paul stumbling on the issue of how he'd actually implement his radical, crazy program.

but ultimately, he gave an intellectually coherent -- if unsatisfying -- answer.

i used to believe that newt had a ceiling too...

Man, I hope this whole thing is just one big trap Huckabee's set for Mitt.

"RON PAUL, IF YOU WERE A TREE, WHAT KIND OF A TREE WOULD YOU BE?"

wtf, ron paul, what about ANN F----G RAND?

blown opportunity, IMO. atlas shrugged.

i figured he would recommend ann rand over the bible.

"I'm a tree...not a person anymore, a tree...I just want to make sure I've got the question right"--forgot, he's out.

i am already ready to say mitt romney has collapsed in this forum.

Mitt's eating up the clock!

that was a totally awkward opening by romney.

now back on longwinded message.

i figured he would recommend ann rand over the bible.

haha idk if this was intentional on your part but if you ever want to troll a libertarian, refer to her as "ann rand"

"it's AYN!"

ppl should just call her alisa rosenbaum

"i'm so sorry i didn't pronounce alisa's made up name correctly"

serious question, largely to alfred: what's happening to romney? something is different, and worse, about him lately. not sure if it's the forums he's been in, maybe he's rattled by gingrich, maybe he's tired, not sure. but he doesn't sound like the confident, resolute guy that he needs to be to win the GOP nomination.

i mean, the uneasiness in romney is on display tonight.
