Donna Brazille was talking to us - "Consistent Conservative" is code for "Ron Paul"
This is crazy, I recorded this and just now got on to the forums...you know, cause RP just hit a bottom of the nineth home run in this debate. Anyways I saw this go down about 4 min into the post "coverage". I thought it was nuts someone else commented on this...check this out youself... she says "consistant conservative" and mentions bachman, the ro..rick santorum...almost as if she was told not to mention RP...it's kind of subtle, but it speaks alot.

Gingrich's "I gave them strategic advice... private sector.... hahahaha" will make good attack fodder.

I'd say the entire panel at the CBS debate was the worst.

That they report to us what we just witnessed with our own eyes, analyze it, and tell us what to think about AN EVENT WE JUST WATCHED is absurd in and of itself.

Agreed. Ron is getting used to talking about it, before he was uncomfortable about it, but was clear in this debate.

Ron did very well - Far better than any of the others, that is for certain.
It was great that Rick and Mittens gave props to Ron. I was floored by that, to be frank.
Ron's closing was strong - government is force. Love it.
It was very pleasing to watch Newt and Mittens go at it. More pleasing to hear Newt get booed.
I think Ron gained and Newt Romney lost ground. Perry is a has-been as are Bachmann and Santorum. Bachmann has a VERY self-defeating habit of trying to invent new memes; an indicator that she really has nothing of substance to offer. A month ago it was "Moms, moms, moms, moms..." until you wanted to put a load of 00 buck through the TV. Tonight it was "Newt Romney, Newt Romney..." I was hoping Sawyer would step up and slap her a couple of times to shut her up. She's going nowhere - nothing but window dressing at this point. Thank heaven.
I will add that the moderators are dicks. They state rules and promptly abandon them. I am thinking, however, that this may work to Ron's favor as the circus quality of all this becomes ever more embarrassingly apparent to even the least intellectually adept. The only one other than Ron who maintained a reasonable decorum was Santorum and he is pig vomit so I don't think he represents even a remote threat. Everyone else save Ron engaged in attacking the others. They are graceless, ungentlemanly and I think more people are wising up to how scummy this is and how it speaks to character.
It was a riot to watch Ron laughing in-frame and the cameras scrambling to get him off screen. Mittens and Newt were just klowns tonight. Thank heaven.

Imagine my shock as I watched Newt Gingrich defend his idea of turnin' them 'lil freeloaders in Grade 6 and below into good all-American patriotic taxpayers.
For a moment, all was well.
My brain came to a screeching halt, and just before I spat Coca-Cola all over my monitor, I'll always remember thinking what I feared would be my last thought:
"Is this what it feels like to die laughing?"
Who wouldn't support Ron Paul after this debate? I don't know how much of this I need to watch. It's like watching Godzilla munch Tokyo - those buildings are huge, but they don't stand a chance. I almost pity Newt, Mitt, and the gang. I mean, you have ANDERSONANDERSONANDERSON over there, she's still here...despite the fact that she was never all all there.
What a night! Good job, Ron Paul Campaign.

I really appreciated seeing Perry credit Paul for sparking his interest in the Fed! As far as Santorum goes...hes a pain in the ass on foreign and social policy. But I do think he is the best of the rest in terms of fiscal policy though he doesn't talk too much about it. And hes a nice attack dog. But hes still frothy to me.
