CNN Republican You-Tube Debate -- Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Ack, Giuliani's response to the gun control video for him was terrible.

In response to a question from two black men, Romney adds some colloquial flair to his rhetorical repertoire. Translation: Rich white guy talks down to black guys.

Overturning Roe v. Wade #1 priority according to Fred? F**k you Fred Thompson

Overturning Roe v. Wade #1 priority according to Fred? F**k you Fred Thompson

Another example of how out of touch the GOP is with America.

[King]

Romney's policy of "create moms and dads for the poor children" sounds like something thought up by some stoned hippy in the middle of a chain smoke.


Nothing seems to have changed from the last few elections.

Democrats = wimpy no ideas and weak policies
Republicans = insane bad ideas

[Aizen]

jesus would use the death penalty obviously

[angus]

I think we just found our next Jim Jones.  And he lives in Dallas.

Creepy.

[Eleden]

Huckabee is clearly winning.  His answers are clear and the crowd seems to like him.

[Aizen]

Romney's video reminded me of a disney movie preview with that choice of music

[ilikeverin]

I was amused by the part when "MITT ROMNEY" filled the screen, before turning into a "window to New York City".  What the heck?

[MarkWarner08]

Romney's video personifies the candidate: slick, concise, and vague.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Huckabee is doing a good job tonight. We may be looking at the winner of the Republican Primary.

[Aizen]

wtf at Giuliani's video. Was that supposed to be funny?

[angus]

Huckabee is clearly winning.  His answers are clear and the crowd seems to like him.

I agree.  He even managed to take that Dallas whacko's question and give a considered, intelligent, non-preachy answer.

He's a good man.  Came to my school a few weeks ago.  I didn't get a chance to question to him directly, but I listened to about half his speech, between meetings and classes, from a back-row seat, and I was impressed with his compassion and his candor.  I'm not with him on every issue, but I trust his judgement.

I guess if it comes down to arm-twisting (and I think my precinct may only get a vote or two, so it likely will), and they do that "reorganize" schtick in the caucus, then Mike will by my number two choice.  I could stomach him if I end up having to reorganize after being identified as the only one in the room holding up my hand when they say "Paul?"

Bible question

My thoughts:

Rudy +10 points The Hizzoner dodged the urge to pander and instead stated that he reads the bble but isn't a literalist.

Romney -10 points Says he believes every word. Answers "yeah" to follow up question.  Mormon Mitt, what about the part saying that the garden of eden was in Missouri?

Huckabee +15 points. Basic line: Trust me, I'm a theologian. Subtly jabs Romney with deft response.

[Eleden]

Why is Tancredo still in the race?  It's obvious that the only issue he has to run on is immigration, and his debate performances are lackluster.

I also love the fact that he looks like a cave troll.

[Boris]

Haven't been watching, although based upon the comments, I'll probably take a look at it this weekend. But how many times has Hillary Clinton's name came up so far? More or less times than usual? Has anyone managed to weave her into completely unrelated topics?

[bullmoose88]

Hah...Romney's answer to waterboarding...lame.

McCain to now open can of whoopass.

[Aizen]

McCain owned Romney. lol Romney. He really is sucking tonight.

Giuliani and Tancredo mentioned her randomly in their videos

[Eleden]

Mitt Romney has bombed three questions in a row. 

Surprisingly the Republicans are mentioning Hillary Clinton more than Ronald Reagan.

[Lincoln Republican]

I see the clueless Romney bashers in this thread are in full flight tonight.

[bullmoose88]

Only a guy named Buzz could ask a question like that.

[MarkWarner08]

McCain hammers Romney on torture. Looks like the GOP's breck girl wasn't prepared for that one!

[ilikeverin]

lol Romney supports torture.

Whether it's true or not, that's what it's going to look like.  Kudos to McCain.
