CNN Arizona Debate (2/22) 8:00ET- Official Thread

[vechorik]

first part, 8:00 PM - 8:42 PM:

Gingrinch 5:58
Paul 5:50
Romney 8:37
Santorum 10:13
Moderator/Audience 4:11

fine with me -- Santorum and Romney didn't do very well with the time they had, more hurtful than helpful IMO

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Dr. Paul should take some time to explain how market forces are tougher at regulating than the government. It's a good point that I don't think many people are grasping, and it goes to one of the big criticisms of him and other libertarians.

Hey Santorum, Where are your ashes?
Some Catholic.

this ^

Newt too.

 

[MozoVote]

So far this feels like most of the other debates. The more time any of them get, the less appealing they become.

I do think Mitt got reduced a few pegs on the earmark questioning. The other 3 made him sound like he did not understand Congress's role very well.

So the audience member that booed Santorum and Romney is the same one that yelled out Ron Paul? lol. It really screwed with Santorums and Romney's mood/cadence.

 

[jcarcinogen]

I've noticed Santo has been doing accentuated nods when Paul speaks. I guess he is trying to quell attacks?

 

[kill the banks]

Give Santorum more time, he looks like shit.

real pressure is on as front runner and now he looks more like high schooler perry

From @DickMorrisTweet (Dick Morris Twitter)

"Ron Paul is, for once attractive in his points."

he's had 4-5 other high praise tweets for the incorruptible one

I never thought I'd see the day when a person like Dick Morris would write something like that

THAT's shocking! LOL

 

[DonovanJames]

Are there no 'mercials on this stream? They just show the upcoming Qs?

 

[carterm]

we're doing pretty well; santorum is self destructing.

 

[Barrex]

Any other links for this besides CNN?

Pay attention to the applause. Ron is getting more than Rick.

 

[phil4truth]

They never let ron answer the previous question being discussed. They know he will give the best, most practical, most constitutional answer. They do this every time.

Yeah, Ron should not allow himself to be misdirected. But he's winning.

 

[mac_hine]

MANDATES, BABY!

 

[XNavyNuke]

Birth control. I'm shocked. Not!

XNN

 

[denny]

Newt attacking the "press" again hehe

He needs to keep deflecting. IMO, he's doing really well.

 

[Chowder]

Oh brother! (rolls eyes at Newt)

 

[foxtrotterz]

Paul go for a bathroom break? Why the 3 man pan?

 

[newbitech]

lets see what kind of spin Ron Paul gets on this question, if any.
