    Well, Diane IS weird, but I do like that she saluted them. That seemed genuine. I was dinking around. You're ahead of me. I agree on the death tax. Newt was specific, specific, specific on the jobs questions. Romney's answers were broad and vague. Yup, he's orange.

    Glad we're down two - Huntsman and Cain. More time for the others to answer. I have no idea what Perry could do to win me over. Raise the dead maybe? I am about ready to fast forward through his answers. His ads here in Iowa are awful.

    Not really. Romney hs just paired it down from his 54 points. He was always harping on his 54 or 50 point plan. Now it's 7. I don't think it was a hit. He was still vague.

    They're gunning for the evangelical vote in Iowa. A high percentage of caucus goers are evangelicals, even though the state as a whole isn't necessarily that conservative. Perry is a prick. God help him if there are any skeletons of any kind in his closet. He's the type of guy who makes evangelicals look bad. Can you imagine a conversation like this 50 or 60 years ago? Reference my earlier post. Do we really have to spend this much time on infidelity? Move on!!!!!!!!!!!

    Paul-Scary, dangerous, genius, frightening, and scary (especially if he goes 3rd party)
    Perry-Squinty McStammer
    Huntsman-Best debate ever (yup, recycling that)

If Paul goes third party, Obama wins and we move to a compound with our food, our guns, and our Bibles. Loved your name for Perry. Hysterical. Watching the follow up comments - they're right - the $10,000 bet comment shows Romney as a silver spoon guy. I'm calling is right here. Gingrich will be the candidate.
