Unbelievably, yet another debate is on tap tonight. Thankfully, this one is on CNN, so hopefully we will have fewer questions about Terri Schiavo and the Great Beet Sugar Menace. Click the window or chime in in the comments!

Fasten your seat-belts
txpat Thursday, January 26th at 7:58PM EST (link)we are in for a bumpy ride.
Santorum is correct
txpat Thursday, January 26th at 8:39PM EST (link)They need to focus on BO
Romney is getting the better of the exchanges
maybenexttime Thursday, January 26th at 9:08PM EST (link)I still don’t think most conservatives are going to get fired up for Mitt, though. This really has become a sad spectacle. The Super PAC ads will keep running on both sides and will continue to drive their negatives up.
The media will be forced to bring up these negative ads in the debates as both campaigns cry foul about the other. This is a never-ending cycle that has absolutely no benefit to it.
I am tired of the stupid questions
txpat Thursday, January 26th at 9:24PM EST (link)Next they will be asked if you are a tree what kind of tree would you be.
Wolf needs to remove himself from this.
Romney's campaign has packed the room
carolina Thursday, January 26th at 9:25PM EST (link)it might be effective if it wasn’t so obvious.
I was thinking the same thing

900 of seats selected by FL GOP
carolina Thursday, January 26th at 10:17PM EST (link)The establishment was ‘clever’ and seated Mitt ‘insurance’.
Paul had his usual good attendence too.

Again Santorum is winning this debate
loneranger2012 (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 9:29PM EST (link)But, will the media let him win the debate!
The big news is the loser of this debate
maybenexttime Thursday, January 26th at 9:50PM EST (link)The media will be declaring Gingrich as the big loser, that’s for sure. The question is whether this declaration by the media will actually help Gingrich, or take the wind out of his sails.
Why do we care what "the media" thinks...
nathanalbright (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 9:53PM EST (link)…it’s our job to make up our own minds.
We know that...but many don't
maybenexttime Thursday, January 26th at 10:00PM EST (link)If you don’t think the media steers public opinion in a certain direction, you’re living in a bubble. The media won’t effect your opinion or mine, but it will impact those who mistakenly believe the press still functions for the people of America.
But I'm always trying to second guess their motives

Santorum Would Not Win One State Against Obama
Spartan4Life (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 9:47PM EST (link)50-0. You want to vote for that?
I'm pretty sure Santorum...
nathanalbright (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 9:53PM EST (link)…could win a state like Alaska or Oklahoma.
Alaska would vote Santorum over Obama...
snowshooze (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 10:18PM EST (link)I’m pretty sure. lol
It wouldn
maybenexttime Thursday, January 26th at 9:53PM EST (link)Santorum would win some Southern states and perhaps some Great Plains/Western states like KS, OK, WY, UT etc.
The problem is Santorum would not carry the big three: FL, OH, and PA. If you can’t get two of those three, you won’t win an election. Santorum probably couldn’t even carry PA since he lost their as an incumbent senator by 18 points.
So OBAMA is REAGAN now ?
loneranger2012 (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 10:16PM EST (link)Are you for real? Santorum would win the Republican base states of 197 and maybe more and not have to leave his campaign Headquaters.
By the way only Ronald Reagan won that big, running against a Liberal just like Obama. NO democrat has ever won 500+ Electoral Votes! We could run a puppy dog for president and Obama would not get 538 Electoral Votes!
Newt just needed a little bit more
Ender (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 10:05PM EST (link)cowbell… I mean applause, to get his point across.
“To discuss evil in a manner implying neutrality, is to sanction it.” AR
Mittens trying to go from Ken doll to G I Joe.
txpat Thursday, January 26th at 10:06PM EST (link)No text
So was this for Florida or the US
tngal (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 10:15PM EST (link)The immigration questions, and the space program are big in FL. But how well does a colony on the moon translate in, say, Oregon. Not sure that the “wife” question translated anywhere. Mitt did a fairly good job of differentiating Obamacare from Romneycare but still, its gov’t involvement so what’s the diff?
Anybody want to roll the dice and play the brokered convention game here?
snowshooze (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 10:22PM EST (link)As much as it scares me… it just keeps looking better every day.
What scares me is they might pick one of these guys. Or…possibly even worse.
Thats not going to happen
bonnman Thursday, January 26th at 10:28PM EST (link)Newt failed BIG tonight and Romney even came out supporting Obamacare but still came out looking stronger. Romney will be the nominee.
Agreed.
snowshooze (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 10:37PM EST (link)But I do not have to like the truth.
I don't see he failed tonight
txpat Thursday, January 26th at 10:38PM EST (link)I think it was a draw.
Nether one helped themselves in this debate with all the firing at each other instead of taking it to BO and his failed policies.
They are not going to win voters if they keep up the nasty behavior.
Newt's momentum from SC was already starting to slow
bonnman Thursday, January 26th at 10:50PM EST (link)and he needed a solid debate performance and he didn’t do it. Romney got the best of Newt over and over again. Newt’s done.
Newt is like Lazarus.
txpat Friday, January 27th at 12:04AM EST (link)If it is close in Florida then Newt will move on.
If Santorum doesn’t do well in Florida he will end his campaign.
If Santorum bows out after Florida then the not Romney folks will get behind Newt.
We will see how everything shakes out Tuesday.
All my opinion only, my crystal ball was sent in for repair.
Lazarus was only raised from the dead once

My rules of the road for primary season.
Rule #1: Vote for YOUR first choice in the primaries
Rule #2: Vote for the R in the general.
Rule #3: Don’t let anyone convince you to violate Rule #1 or Rule #2
Rule #4: When in a center-right argument, reaffirm Rules #1-#3–it will help us all to get along better.
Rule #5: If you are using the language of the left, you probably aren’t furthering conservativism
Rule #6: The priority is issues first, candidates second, and supporters third. Nobody is bigger than the issues. Conversely, if you spend your time focusing on supporters, you are wasting everyone’s time.
STOP THE MADNESS!
A reduction in the rate of spending increases is NOT a cut!
In-state tuition for illegals is NOT amnesty!
Requiring someone to pay their medical bills is NOT an individual mandate!
Reducing tax rates is NOT a tax increase!
Good point
txpat Friday, January 27th at 10:16PM EST (link)Even if Lazarus analogy wasn’t an exact fit I still believe he will carry on past Florida.
My opinion on the debate
txpat Thursday, January 26th at 10:23PM EST (link)Over all CNN wanted Newt and Mitt to go for each others throats.
I believe Newt saw where Wolf was going with it, and tried to rise above it.
Mitt didn’t want to rise above it, because people think he is weaker than Newt on debates. I think this didn’t work for Newt or Mitt.
My opinion on who won the debate.
1. Santorum
2. Newt
3. Romney
4. Paul
Santorum won
loneranger2012 (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 10:24PM EST (link)I agree Santorum won the debate big!
CNN, Why?
popdaddy Thursday, January 26th at 10:27PM EST (link)I haven’t watched anything on CNN since the Fox News cable channel launched. Why does the GOP continue to allow Socialist Democrat networks have shots at the GOP candidates?
Of course, Brit Hume just concluded dumping his latest bucket of Romney water on Greta’s show so maybe it’s just time to turn off TV and go read a book.
Tom Clancy’s “Locked On’ is a very appropriate read for this day and time if you’ve not read it. Match the characters for fun!
