Tonight South Carolina Presidential debate 9pm EST - join me to discuss it live.

ROMNEY gets another question!?

They should just change the name of this debate to 'The *all about me* Mitt romney show*

/facepalm

This is good, I was just thinking that Romney hadn't had enough time.

Its obviously a Mitt Romney highlight event. Staged propaganda. Fare and balanced ....yup.

Romney SOUNDS wonderful... lots of fluffy illusions glitter and rainbows...

... but no substance whatsoever.

That's why the bhhhaaaaa like himmmmm......

Romney is so full of himself...he's about to explode...

"European social welfare state"

Try "German oppressive police state"

Holy #......Perry is turning into Ron Paul!

Great, Perry is mentioning how the federal government is evil again...not like he didn't get that from Paul or anything.

Damn...it's a little late for Perry to be finally taking the smart pills....

Of course I.D.s should be required to vote. Like really? It is costs like $30 to get a ID card...

"Blacks don't have photo ID blah blah MLK day blah blah.."

Its called a DMV... ugh. Us Americans..

Holy s**t.....Perry is turning into Ron Paul!!

Good lord...Perry might get a bump in the polls after this debate.

I guess he knows his audience well.

Maybe that was the plan. Have Perry run, him being a Bank of America puppet ("we'll help you out"), and then steal Ron Pauls positions to make his platform look bad.

OK, honest question - does ANYONE here actually believe...well, ANYTHING Romney says, or do you all get that same fake "politicky" feel that I do? He just simply does not seem sincere about anything to me.

And some will talk about strong personalities, but how strong is it, honestly, to change one's views with the shifting political winds or as is necessary to win elections, as compared to standing up in opposition to all prevailing political thought at one's own expense over the course of decades - and be proven correct?

And finally - why do I get the sinking feeling that, especially with this audience, if some argued for more time or did anything perceived as attacking, a loud chorus of boos would result?

This is really getting to me. There needs to be a time clock that everyone runs, and if you run out of that time clock on the button, you are out of the debate automatically.

If you press the button, your time starts to countdown. If you run out, your mic no longer works.

Lets say five people on stage, 2 hours everyone gets bout 25-30 minutes of clock that they can use however they want.

Better yet...their mic gives them an electric shock if they run overtime....

Or the Peanuts show adult voiceover

Exactly. the only one RP hasnt been attacking is mitt romney.... hence why I think Ron should step in and crush him while he's down right now.

I don't think so

I think RP will leave Mitt alone so that he's the last one standing after everyone else drops out

THEN RP will destroy him

How obvious is it I bet Dr. Paul does not get one POLICY question.

hmm I think Ron Paul, is losing the war of attrition folks...

If Ron Paul was a smoker he would be smoking a cigarette on stage right now waiting for everyone to get their questions

Now another Newt question, Ron Paul had only ONE question so far

Romney is as strong as a wet marshmallow...
