It looks like there's another debate Monday night from what I can tell. NBC at 9:00 p.m. Brian Williams moderating. One hour only. I'll be watching and ready to comment in real time.
I am watching live....so very tired, most of this may be gibberish. You will see some fireworks between Romney/Gingrich in about 10 minutes...fought to a draw.

Mitt has a ridiculous look on his face as he watches Newt explain his charges against him. Doesn't play well, and that's not just because I'm for Newt. He looks like doof.
Mitt suffers from "good guy" syndrome. He's not good at attacks and just to "ah shucks" to inspire. Santorum is more impressive than Romney, but it pains me to say this - too socially conservative for most.
Much like Santorum's teeth gritting (thanks Kate, I cannot stop seeing it) Mitt's posture is getting worse as he slumps more in the polls. He is hunching over more and more and getting tense.
No one will EVER go there, but I wonder if anyone ever asked JFK about his wealth. Seriously. JFK was worth a billion by today's standards. I want to call a democrat right now and remind them of that. And JFK didn't earn a damn dime of it. He inherited it.
YES! I noticed the hunching too! Good call. Not sure I could have put my finger on it, but you got it. He looks tired or something. He's not good at being behind.
Well. That was interesting. I am prejudiced, but I feel that Romney fires sound bites and then when Newt gets a chance to explain, he does a good job and makes good sense with a rational explanation. However, Mitt got the last word. I also don't know enough to know if Mitt's arguments will hold water. Newt explained, but I'm not sure he put him away. Williams just let them have at it. Kind of ugly really.
Both Romney and Gingrich are good on the economy. The real reason for the attacks is just to one up each other. Too bad. Either one would do well with the economy.
Some in the crowd laughed at Romney's "self-deportation." I agree. Ridiculous. Is that guy naive? Yea. The drug runners will "self deport." He's dumb on this issue.
Now Santorum's answer. Duh. The economy is weak so they're "self-deporting." Does that mean that when we elect any of you guys and the economy improves we'll have another big wave of illegals? Really? Yea, I am getting SO SICK of Mitt's "me too"s.
Newt spoke the truth on trying to go up against the agricultural lobby. It's a crime and a scam. Mitt had a big "gotta get my talking point in" moment. That's getting old, too.
Yup, a stalemate....and like chess just as boring....NBC ran a debate I could have slept through....No debate wrap up, except to say, how many "uhs" and "ums" did you hear all night? Compare that to Obama...
No one is going back to Mexico for goodness sakes. And the Mexicans aren't just stealing a bunch of SSN #'s. Santorum - you're heritage is NOT MEXICAN.
Love Gingrich's answer to a dumb question - what scares you about the presidency. He gave a great answer, an inspiring one. Romney is just a sound bite machine and he goes down a list. Blah!!!!! He got the last word and he did not cease the moment.
I think I have finally decided that my impression of Santorum is he has a very small frame of reference. I am suprised they are talking about Terry Shivo case. WoW!
Is that 9 our time or 8 central. If 9 I will watch live as well, if 8 I will be starting at 830 as usual.
ReplyDelete9 our time.
ReplyDeleteliar, liar pants on fire. It started at 8p
ReplyDeleteSorry about the mix up on the time. Our local tv schedule and the guide on dish network showed 9 central. So I missed the first 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteIt's 8:33. I'm going to go ahead and start. Might be talking to myself, but you guys can read and comment whenever.
I'll say from the start that I'm not a Brian Williams fan.

ReplyDeleteYeah, the Ken doll is melting...he is coming off worse and worse as these go on
ReplyDeleteWhy so tired, Terry? Go to bed.
ReplyDeleteI really believe Paul. I don't think he'll run 3rd party.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, no 3rd party...he is going to fight the good fight and bow out. It is the dems keeping him over 10 percent to keep him in it
ReplyDeleteHey! A tacit endorsement for Gingrich from Paul! Seriously, that was no small comment and Newt seized it masterfully - we can work together.
ReplyDeleteOoooooooh, so close to the mud slinging....can't wait to see what you have to say about it.

ReplyDeleteGood Paul showed up earlier (a nice chat with Newt about the Fed that was interesting). Crazy Paul is here now with Iran...
ReplyDeleteWhen did you start watching? I started at 8:33. Am I way behind. I'm just at the Freddie Mac for Newt.
ReplyDeleteThis is an odd debate compare to the others...no real applause or cheering. It is like NBC handed out valium to everyone before hand.
ReplyDeleteI started when you woke me up, been watching since. Missed the first 20 minutes
ReplyDeleteOk, I think I'm at the mudslinging.
ReplyDeletefight fight fight fight...tell me who you think wins
ReplyDeleteGood point. No crowd response. You know NBC set it up that way.
ReplyDeleteSantorum's on the Iran war speechifying....same old same old
ReplyDeleteMan, Romney looks wooden
ReplyDeleteWell. That was interesting. I am prejudiced, but I feel that Romney fires sound bites and then when Newt gets a chance to explain, he does a good job and makes good sense with a rational explanation. However, Mitt got the last word. I also don't know enough to know if Mitt's arguments will hold water. Newt explained, but I'm not sure he put him away. Williams just let them have at it. Kind of ugly really.
ReplyDeleteUgly, but I agree...sided with Newt but no winners. Romney looked petty but Newt was getting frustrated
ReplyDeleteWow Romney is looking poor, can't wait until you get to the Dream Act question where he chimes in with Newt. Also his immigration answer is dumb
ReplyDeleteBoth Romney and Gingrich are good on the economy. The real reason for the attacks is just to one up each other. Too bad. Either one would do well with the economy.
ReplyDeleteExactly. You are good at analysis. Petty vs. frustrated.
ReplyDeleteNo clapping, no applause, no cheering...this is a dull, dull debate
ReplyDeleteSugar subsidy question, ouch...this is a rancid debate
ReplyDeleteEverybody punts on the Florida specific questions, pivots to their wheelhouse national talking point. Dumb debate NBC, dumb
ReplyDeleteGood answer on the English question by Newt.
ReplyDeleteYup, I like the English as a National language...
ReplyDeleteYea, I so miss the crowd. We need the PEOPLE to weigh in. They are trying to take out the "Newt" factor. I'm just at the Dream Act.
ReplyDeleteHA! Wait for Mitt's "ME TOO" chime in
ReplyDeleteSome in the crowd laughed at Romney's "self-deportation." I agree. Ridiculous. Is that guy naive? Yea. The drug runners will "self deport." He's dumb on this issue.
ReplyDeleteNow Santorum's answer. Duh. The economy is weak so they're "self-deporting." Does that mean that when we elect any of you guys and the economy improves we'll have another big wave of illegals? Really? Yea, I am getting SO SICK of Mitt's "me too"s.
ReplyDeleteNewt spoke the truth on trying to go up against the agricultural lobby. It's a crime and a scam. Mitt had a big "gotta get my talking point in" moment. That's getting old, too.
ReplyDeleteAside from the mud slinging, this debate is a snoozer
ReplyDeleteRick gets a hand on a very sincere answer.
ReplyDeleteI agree. A snoozer. Haven't learned anything. I doubt this changed minds. Status quo.
ReplyDeleteNewt has a very conservative answer on NASA - enlist the private sector, cut down on the NASA bureaucracy. Romney did not.
ReplyDeleteYup, a stalemate....and like chess just as boring....NBC ran a debate I could have slept through....No debate wrap up, except to say, how many "uhs" and "ums" did you hear all night? Compare that to Obama...
ReplyDeleteAgain, Romney has sound bites. Gingrich has clear explanation and a plan for a myriad of issues.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I liked the comparison to Lindburg only flying over the ocean because of the prize
ReplyDeleteGo to bed, Terry.
ReplyDeleteI didn't start taping it until 9:00 and just started watching. Guess I missed the whole first hour. Damn it.
ReplyDeleteYeah they are wrapping up. Im out, love you Ma
ReplyDeleteYou didn't miss much, Katie. Both Dish and my tv guide from the Sunday paper had the times wrong.
ReplyDeleteSelf deportation. WTF!
ReplyDeleteNo one is going back to Mexico for goodness sakes. And the Mexicans aren't just stealing a bunch of SSN #'s. Santorum - you're heritage is NOT MEXICAN.
ReplyDeleteYes, silencing the crowd was the biggest mistake of this debate.
ReplyDeleteShould I stop commenting? Mom are you there?

ReplyDeleteI'm here Kate.
ReplyDeleteAre you there Katie?
ReplyDeleteI think I have finally decided that my impression of Santorum is he has a very small frame of reference. I am suprised they are talking about Terry Shivo case. WoW!
ReplyDeleteIt happened in Florida. I don't agree about Santorum.
ReplyDeleteI know it did but I'm just suprised it came up.
ReplyDeleteKeep commenting, Katie. I'm with you.
ReplyDeletek
ReplyDeleteThe biggest blurb of this debate is going to be "self-deportation."
ReplyDeleteHas there ever been so many debates?
ReplyDeleteNot that I recall. And if this race stays tight, every state will want their own debate.
ReplyDeleteFred Thompson just announced on Hannity (I'm watching my taped version while you finish the debate) that he is endorsing Newt Gingrich.
ReplyDeleteWOW! NEWT's answer vs. Romeny about conservative values... Newt takes it hands down.
ReplyDeleteWOW! NEWT's answer vs. Romeny about conservative values... Newt takes it hands down.
ReplyDeleteGood breaking news mom
ReplyDeleteI agree. When Newt articulates conservative values, he does great. Mitt seems to only have sound bites. Mitt just does not inspire.
ReplyDeletePaul has some good points on his conservative talk.
ReplyDeleteSorry. I fast forwarded through Paul.
ReplyDeleteRomney defends himself by saying, "I have a record." Instead I want him to get MAD and say, THIS IS what I believe ......
ReplyDeleteHe almost needs to throw they question back at them like Newt would do. That's it, Romney is constantly on the defense and Newt is on the offense.
ReplyDeleteOk, it's over. That was lame. LAME NBC, LAME. Bring back Brokaw if you want to host a debate again.
ReplyDeleteOk, it's over. That was lame. LAME NBC, LAME. Bring back Brokaw if you want to host a debate again.
ReplyDeleteGood point. "I have a record..." is practical. "I believe..." is passionate.
ReplyDeleteYES MOM! Get passionate. Plus Republicans need someone who can debate Obama and the BS media that host those debates and toss Obama softballs.
ReplyDeleteTerry and I agree. You didn't miss much in the first hour, either. Nighty Night.
