ABC Drake University Debate (12/10) Official Thread

[svobody]

HAHAHA they cannot mention Ron Paul's name he's in 2nd in the state! THIS IS HILARIOUS

 

[PursuePeace]

HOME RUN Ron PAUL!

 

[Ronulus]

They are going to try and boost frothy and bachmann some.

the msm reads off teleprompters

If Ron Paul performed like this all the time he would be at 50%

 

[tempest]

The media is spinning this as if Romney's 10K bet to Perry was a gaffe. To me as I heard it it was nothing like that, it sounded nothing more than a rhetorical device to push Perry. But apparently it's looking like the media is gonna to repeat and rince that and blow it up to the point of claiming (eventually) that that was the reason that dictated the outcome of the primary

Ron Paul nailed this debate. Nailed it.
Everyone i know is complementing him.
What an excellent note to go into the caucus with.

The post debate commentary is hilarious. I have not heard one mention of Paul yet.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

any links to post-debate polls, folks?

 

[Patrick Henry]

I have to admit respect towards Perry. It took courage to bring up the Fed like he did IMO. Even going so far as to say that it is the main cause of our economic problems.

 

[Jack Bauer]

WOW!

They all can't be this blind to just keep mentioning Gingrich when he was NOT even TOP THREE!!! (Bachmann, Paul and Perry were top 3 IMO)

Does everyone of these ABC shitheads get the talking points memo?

 

[smithtg]

ron is smoking the abcnews poll

Paul: "You're in big trouble if you need the government to protect you from yourself." #iowadebate. True that Brotha!

 

[jcarcinogen]

Did these ABC stooges watch the same debate?

 

[EWM]

Conveniently leaving out Ron Paul. They must HATE how well he did.

 

[Polskash]

They have literally talked about everyone!

 

[runamuck]

They literally don't say his name..... It's like "those we don't speak of"

The media is spinning this as if Romney's 10K bet to Perry was a gaffe. To me as I heard it it was innocent rhetoric but the media is gonna to repeat and rince that and blow it up to the point of claiming (eventually) that that was the reason that dictated the outcome of the primary

Yes, count on the media to focus on something so incredibly inconsequential.

Ditto. Pretty interesting change of events.

Post-debate analysis is almost always bad, but this is the worst I have ever seen.

Gingrich got hurt badly, Mitt to a lesser degree. Ron Paul kicked ass, while Santorum, Perry, and Bachmann probably raised their stock a little.

They are saying pretty much the opposite.

Gingrich got beat up all debate, but he'll come out of it just fine because the media will rush him in, put make up on his swollen face, and tell him he's a champoin. That's what people remember.
