CNN South Carolina Debate (1/19/12) -- Official Thread!

[wgadget]

It will be interesting how they spin Ron Paul's performance in the post-debate analysis (when they get around to talking about him), because he nailed it tonight, no "disappointing responses".

Neocons won't be talking about Ron because he didn't get any BOOs. They care only about BOOs.

You were there?! We need a full report.

Well, I sat with Jack Hunter's parents, and Senator Forsyth's mother, and the Paul Husbands and grandchildren...

The rest will have to wait until I'm not on an iPhone.

I was hoping someone heard the Semper Fi right off on the (first?) question tho

I know Dr Paul heard it, he looked right at me and looked like he took strength from it

 

[zippy81]

Don't think they are gonna even mention his name in the "analysis"

 

[SeanSerritella]

I hope people watched it.

True. American Idol was on. I'm not sure how many American Idol fans are into politics though. lol.

"Remember Paul has less than 4% in SC in 2008 and he never polled any higher than that level, a distant 5th. In 2012 Paul might get what Romney got in SC in 2008, which is an achievement. "

If we can go from 4% to 20% on Saturday, win a CD, in one of the most warlike states in the U.S., that's a hell of an achievement.

It looks good for 3rd, which is the best bet IMO. I remember feeling for sure that Paul would finish behind Santorum, and even Perry at one point if he had stayed.

Paul and Santorum are tied, but Santorum has the least dedicated support. Paul isn't going to pick up much of Santorum's support but it might at least get him a more solid 3rd. SC was always going to be tough.

Remember Paul has less than 4% in SC in 2008 and he never polled any higher than that level, a distant 5th. In 2012 Paul might get what Romney got in SC in 2008, which is an achievement.

But tonight we learned that Santorum is PRO-SOPA. Anti-Internet freedom. Tsk, tsk.

These journalists are "self absorbed." Let's get to the "crux of the biscuit!"

Well done my friend. Ron needs us just like we need him and tonight you were there for him and he showed up for us!

 

[kahless]

Unless I missed it, been going back and forth between all 3 news channels but so far no mention of Ron Paul.

 

[Mckarnin]

I am watching them in the spin room..do you all think they will shift to analysis after this or is analysis being covered on a different stream?

 

[musicmax]

I hope people watched it.

I did SC phone banking and a lot of undecideds said they were going to watch

 

[tuggy24g]

I highly dought we will get any reconition at all. So everyone can go to bed if your still up really late! They will ask who won and say Newt.

Youre newish here. Get used to it, the rest of us are. Its the way it is.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

It was on the VA take care of the troops question. And very encouraging, lots of Gingrichites saying how they had to agree with Paul on this that and the other.
