2. Ron Paul and Mittens were the big winners

according to several insta-polls. Brownback improved one point, whoopee. Giuliani was the big loser and McCain also lost a few approval points.

I honestly couldn't watch much of it. It looked like a police lineup of mobsters, the questions were banal and the answers were rehearsed talking points that didn't have a whole lot to do with the questions.

The one that floored me was "What don't you like about America?" That one was just as dumb as the hedge fund question they threw at the Democrats.

5. Ha ha

What a collection of losers....

7. OMG!!! Check out Rudy and McCain before and after, THEY HATE THEM

Before, they hate them more after, WTF?

[and-justice-for-all]

8. Not one of those men will be President...nt

[Liberty Belle]

9. Heehee, before the debate 72% of viewers had a positive rating. After, just 13%!

The GOP ship of state is sinking fast.

[Blackhatjack]

10. I told you, Hagel Bloomberg & Thompson sat back and watched the rest implode...

there is plenty of time for them to jump in later and scoop up the nomination.

Except for Ron Paul, they all looked alike, sounded alike, and basically have the same positions on most issues.

My biggest fear is Hagel will step in win the Nomination in a big way ... IMHO Fred Thompson will not register with the 'political public' at a time when the war in Iraq is the front burner issue --does anyone really believe Repubs will turn to a TV actor to fix this problem?

The closest race would likely be between John Edwards and Chuck Hagel. Both poll well with the key voting block --independents/undecideds and unaffiliated voters. It would be a barnburner if Hagel can make the public believe he has little in commmon with the present Republican Party and its leaders, and that he would turn back the clock to 'traditional' Republican values and a moderate on key issues. Right now Edwards has the advantage with that group.

[Heywood J]

13. Exactly

These idiots are self-destructing and burning through any capital they've raised in an attempt to just tread water. Paul is about the only one I can think of who hasn't made any revealing and embarrassing gaffes, or isn't so far to the right as to be unelectable by anyone. He's the only one who didn't make me retch, who didn't spout the line that the problem in Iraq was that the American people disapprove.


I think that in a few months, or closer to the end of the year, we'll see some new faces to push these guys out.

[Clark2008]

14. Wow... you must not remember Ronald Reagan...

ie - an actor.

Besides, he was a politician before he was an actor - he just has the big name recognition because he was an actor.

And, I hope John Edwards isn't our nominee. I'd like to be able to vote for the Democrat and he won't get my vote. I don't trust him (or any of the Republicans).

[Blackhatjack]

20. Clark2008 I am SHOCKED, you mean you won't vote for Edwards? LOL

Tell us all another hundred times, maybe we forget.

[Blackhatjack]

21. BTW I think what I posted was accurate, Thompson is an actor... LINK

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Dalton_Thompson

Do you not remember Thompson is an actor?

[skipos]

34. I don't know why DUers think Repubs want an anti-war candidate

You know that the frontrunners are all warmongers, right? Take a look at the polls with warmonger Giuliani beating anti-war candidates like Obama in blue states. For many, many voters, it isn't all about the war.

Ron Paul will continue to poll horribly.

[Blackhatjack]

11. And why is Ron Paul's picture so bad, and the rest so good on the MSNBC website?

It could not be any more obvious who they are promoting.

RON PAUL won anyway!

[Javaman]

12. who long before they pull his name? nt

17. It's being slightly freeperized by Mittler Youth....but still funny

[cooolandrew]

19. Vvery intresting. Thanks for posting.

[knight_of_the_star]

22. Gingrich will jump in soon

He'll use the terrible excuse of the other pugs as his reason to jump in, watch.

[John Q. Citizen]

36. I've been predicting Newt will be the Repo candidate for a while. now. The

fundies and the corporatists both like him.

[knight_of_the_star]

37. Thankfully he's an easy target

Between his record and his own ego he'll be easy to take down once he hits the general provided our candidate and campaign is willing to strike hard, fast, and without mercy.

[John Q. Citizen]

38. Yep, he's already cooked.

[Ilsa]

23. Yeah, Ron Paul! Way to go. Can you imagine if they nom'ed him? nt

[lies and propaganda]

24. good, cause hes batshit crazy.

and will never, ever get the nomination.

[bentley]

25. Capitalnews has a survey too.....

http://capitalnews.org/


Ron Paul is over 50%....

[slackmaster]

26. People with libertarian leanings like participating in polls

It gives us a chance to express our ideas.

I think Ron Paul's views and integrity are head and shoulders above all the other clowns in that debate.

[musette_sf]

30. since when

does relegating women to second class status = "integrity"?

of course, everyone else in the room also agreed with relegating women to second class status. except for equivocal Rudy with his "oh, it would be okay whether, or not, RvW were overturned". actually, that was worse than everyone else in the room.

[slackmaster]

31. since when does saying Person A has more integrity than Person B

Mean that Person A is a person of high integrity?

RIF

[musette_sf]

32. well, aside from that No vote on the quagmire

there isn't a drop of integrity in that entire group.

Paul's saving grace, i suppose.

[slackmaster]

33. I measure traits like integrity and honesty on a continuum from -1 to +1

With -1 being someone who is dishonest and hypocritical at every juncture, and +1 as being perfectly consistent and trustworthy. There is no such thing as "no integrity" - Someone at 0 can be trusted only half the time. All of those GOP candidates fall between the extremes.

[scarletwoman]

27. This could be the bestest presidential campaign EVAR! Ron Paul vs. Mike Gravel!

Think of it! The debates would draw bigger audiences than American Idol!

:D

28. Their front runner is a transgender?

Oh, wait...

[depakid]

29. I voted for Brownback & Tancredo

The dream ticket! :evilgrin:

[femrap]

35. That was fun....

Gave all negative and Ron Paul a '0'. He's still leading, I think.
