I'm hoping Hume doesn't mumble the questions like he usually does.

so far, my opinion:
thompson - asleep per usual romney - great speaker. it's tough to sense sincerity in his voice and his issues. mccain - self-righteous douche. huckabee - he usually does the best in these debates. i also thought he handled that marriage/baptist doctrine question perfectly. mostly though, i don't like this guy. paul - he fumbled a couple of times, but for the most part, he is doing his thing. i am voting for this guy, he is the only sincere one on the ballot. guiliani -

It's over on the east coast now, and I really made some popcorn for it as well.
It took a while for someone to take the gloves off, Thompson did first and swung at Huck. I thought it would get rolling from there, but it didn't.
They all have said the same things they have been saying. maybe someone watching for the first time would have been moved more up or down.
I didn't see where this debate significantly hurt or helped anyone.
Ran flat to me.
Frank Lutz's focus group voted for Thompson as the winner because he got things exciting with an attack and they said, because he was humorous, it helped them to pay attention to him so he stood out more.
I do know that I personally dislike McCain far more then I already did after watching this. Geez he is so arrogant. Also stupid for first saying that his state of Arizona has the worst problem with illegals getting in so he knows about the problem, then goes on to claim that he knows best how to secure the borders.
If he does, why does his state have the worst problem with illegals getting in?
Final note, some slick psychologist helped these guys formulate the wording of questions to specific candidates, geared towards generating a positive answer or a negative one.
They were unfair to Paul asking him 2 questions differently then the topic the others got.
One was, "Some of your supporters are known as 9/11 truthers and think our government was behind 9/11. Do you agree with them and if not, will you ask them to shut up already"
he said, " I don't endorse them, if they cared about me, they would stop it, but I don't control them and can't make them stop it." Then he quickly said, Now let me get to the debate topic the others have been discussing and he jumped right into it.
Thats was handled well by him.
the next was, " Do you think you are electable as a Republican when you disagree with your colleagues on almost everything."
he did a reminder of what the republicans traditional stood for and said it was absurd that a traditional Republican conservative was not an electable Republican for being on.
Then he went into a funny shpeal about, "What is so Republican about borrowing $10 Billion dollars from the Chinese, to give to an unelected, military Dictator in Pakistan? "
Made me laugh.
Huck got the soft ball, positive question set ups.
They gave as close to equal time as they ever have before and that was cool.
I'm curious to hear some other perspectives on it. I certainly have my bias's.

i came away with the same diagnosis you did. paul is just on a different playing level than the rest. he means business. the rest of them are just there because it's the cool thing for older, rich, white, powerful men to do.

I thought the candidates answers to the question about whether we are headed into a recession were very revealing. Only Ron Paul had a clue and Rudy's plan would make things far worse.
The Republican party appears bankrupt of fresh ideas.

and yet, the democratic party seems completely devoid of any ideas at all. after watching what, 3 demo debates now? i have yet to hear any talk about policies/anything of substance. it's just "i am an agent of change, i will bring change, blah blah blah".
and i agree, rudy's plan would fuck things even worse. go paul.

True. The democrats have no honest answers for the Bush recession either.

He really has become quite the pompous windbag.
Paul's fumbled wasn't completely dropped by him. He did say that his response was from a further back perspective, warning caution about looking for any reason to Jump on Iran.
We know that if Paul were President, our Navy ships wouldn't even be there just outside of their waters, antagonizing them and that whole incident never would have even happened.
I hope Americans realized that Paul was cautioning for us to not go looking for trouble.
he is in his own multidimensional world seeing things in a past present, probable future, up close and pulled back view all at the same time, and you never know where he is coming to come from or jump to next, making his speech seem, disjointed or nonsensical, even though it all is flowing and making perfect sense in his head.
If the average American watching doesn't know where he stands on foreign Policy, or how his mind works then, yes, it looked like a fumble.

The more I reflect on it, this debate may have hurt McCain more then it helped.
He really did come across arrogant on the war issues. people like confidence, yet arrogance turns them off.
There was his incriminating idiocy on the borders in his state.
The worst was when Paul said we should be trading with middle eastern nations, McCain said, " What are we going to do, trade burkas with Al Queda"
That was just an ignorant remark.
Al Queda isn't even a Middle eastern nation and Paul was referring to Oil.
McCain came across like a big juvenile dumb ASS.

i couldn't agree more. that fucking burka comment turned me COMPLETELY off mccain. it was childish; sounded like something i would hear in middle school.

> McCain is in idiot....
They are all idiots... politicians, remember? At least one of them is a decent person, and that one is who I support (and would get my vote, could I vote).
> Paul will be there!
Does this mean I can turn my "I-Hate-Fox AutoDial Phone Spam Machine" off?

IMO dumb ass joke.
i did enjoy watching Fred slam Huckabee.

I always disliked the racist Evangelical comments in this Forum. i'm not a Christian but i thought some of the hatred toward them was ridicules.
Watching the blind support of Evangelicals for Huckabee is starting to make me hate them.....

Yeah, it's not like he's won any primaries or anything.
I thought Fred's attacks on Huckabee were pretty vicious but I thought it was funny that he couldn't deliver them without reading directly off his cheat sheet on his podium. Seems like he could have made the effort to memorize the lines beforehand. I think Fred is the first presidential candidate to run his campaign from a hammock.
