Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be home in time to catch this one from the beginning.

I may not either.  Three years ago on this date I was in Aladdin's Resort in Las Vegas marrying my sweetheart, so we may do something special to commemorate the anniversary.  I mentioned that grabbing some popcorn and settling in for the GOP show would be a great way to celebrate, but she wouldn't bite--like most foreigners she's not a huge fan of the nationalists, though she is far more socially conservative and more security-conscious than I, she favors the Democrats, predictably.  Anyway we'll probably do something less overtly political to celebrate.  Guess I'll catch the rerun tomorrow morning on CSPAN, which means I'll have to stay away from the talking head shows tonight. 

Doing what you're going to do tonight is more important than watching a debate.

Have fun and congratulations on your 3-year anniversary Smiley

Prediction:  Romney continues to look like the only competent candidate in the entire field.

Looks like your prediction was off. He blew the first question. I guess he turned half anti-war since he is in NH.

Is he wearing dress shoes or flip-flops?

Anyone notice that McCain is very monotone.  There's no pitch variation in his voice.

Why is Hunter standing at an angle at his podium?

McCain just went long.

So far, just like with the Democrats, I'm hearing the most from the top 3, not much from the rest of the field.

Guiliani is answering a very unpopular question, apparently.  The lightning is about to strike him.

That was hilarious. God was angry with Rudy's answer. Cheesy

Notice McCain and Romney backed away.

I loved Mike Huckabee's answer to creation.

And all the people said -- AMEN!!

How would they use President Bush in the next administration -- HAHAHAHAHA.

I would say send him to Iraq.

Ambassador to the world, give me a break.

He's best as a couch-warmer in his own home.

If I hear the words "Huckabee" and "minister" one more time....

Governor Huckabee -- you're an ordained minister, what do you think? Tongue

Is it me, or have there been no brawls between Paul and Guiliani this time?

You know what I would love to see tonight, if one of these candidates stood up and just absolutely destroyed Romney.  We'll be better off for it in the end.

I take it you're not a Romney fan? Tongue

Bush's Biggest Mistake?

Brownback's response involved mostly the word "cancer" and something about Americans being afraid of getting cancer. I'm a little disturbed.

Meanwhile, Tancredo seems to have this strange belief that Bush's biggest mistake was that he governed as a liberal.

Wow, if Bush is a liberal, then what is John Kerry or Ted Kennedy?

That's what Republicans say about any person or idea that is unpopular.

Good Point!

So far, in this debate, I like Romney, McCain, and Huckabee.

Brownback isn't doing so hot tonight and neither is Guiliani.

I wonder if Fred Thompson is laughing right now?

I wonder what the Democrats are thinking right now?  Probably one word -- LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!
