not even watching but i love the live-tweeting of the debate.
rob delaney @robdelaney -- Another TINY problem for the GOP is that Ronald Reagan would have tripped over himself to vote for Obama if he were alive.
what inspired this?
Paul Begala @PaulBegala -- Yes, absolutely. Art III Sec. 1 “@zbyronwolf: Hey, @arianedevogue - can Congress and the president really just abolish the 9th circuit?"

well!
do other republican presidential hopefuls have the guts to promise to bomb (bomb bomb, bomb bomb) iran?

One thing seems clear: if debates are happening, Gingrich goes up in the polls. When there are no debates, he sinks. Unfortunately, most of the campaign exists between debates.

He did a great monologue about how he sometimes goes too far in his rhetoric and all the moderators laughed like they were on a great first date. Then he did his standard fire breathing shit and got the biggest applause break of the night.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 16 December 2011 03:38 (twelve years ago) link
WOW. i honestly figured that the negative advertising blitz meant that newt was finished.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 16 December 2011 03:40 (twelve years ago) link
And he got in a mild dig at Romney: "I want to be careful not to sound zany."
― clemenza, Friday, 16 December 2011 03:40 (twelve years ago) link
hm. BTW, sure you know that newt's dropped precipitously in the newest polls.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 16 December 2011 03:41 (twelve years ago) link
And then sounded zany.

yes the old right wing media has decided to torpedo him. Let's see if Fox decides to as well... xp

is it just me, or is anyone else hearing these AIM-style beeps every few minutes during this debate?
― Mordy, Friday, 16 December 2011 03:43 (twelve years ago) link
yeah seriously I would guess the % of people who couldn't name their congressperson and 2 senators approaches 50%
luckily for the USA, the number of people who consistently vote in elections approaches 50%

David Corn @DavidCornDC -- Anyone out there think that Romney is meeting his strategic needs tonight?
so?
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 16 December 2011 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
haha those are the "running out of time" alarms bro xp
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 16 December 2011 03:45 (twelve years ago) link
i mean, my question is: does romney have strategic needs at this point? i figured that, if newt fell, there wouldn't be time for another single anti-romney to emerge, so he could just coast.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 16 December 2011 03:46 (twelve years ago) link
he has the strategic need for people to actually like him despite being the inevitable candidate at this point

Bachmann's been after Gingrich all night--is she really hoping that it'll come down to her and Romney?

seriously, perry sounds like he's about to drop out?

If someone were to maliciously ask Perry how many spaces should be placed after a period, would his head explode?
