he's getting some time, I'm just lost at why they chose to give Santorum so much time.

Paul is at least 3rd in the average polls, Santorum is second to dead last.

Perry is getting brutalized tonight. It's not even funny.

While Paul is being ignored, I think all the candidates are losing time as it's just the "Pile on Perry" hour going on right now.

All I see is the Romney /Perry show.

reminds me of 2008.... rudy and mitt were the frontrummers, with ron paul and huck and mccain sitting around trying to act dignified.

rudy and mitt screamed "actually, YOU are the liberal!" over and over, and both looked foolish. Repubs chose mccain by default as the only grown-up on the stage.

I disagree completely.

It IS pretty frickin' funny.

Perry is a fraud - the furthest thing from a tea partier who tried to infiltrate their ranks. Bachmann and RPaul are the real tea party reps. Not perry, not mitt

They should kind of even out the time for everyone a bit, maybe a tad more for the top 2 or 3 candidates. I'm lost at how much time they've given Santorum which seems to be as much as Perry and Romney if not more lol...

Aside from that, this seems to be the best debate so far.

That's why they should ask everyone the same question and give them enough time to answer it. As it stands, they just bounce around and like tonight, it's just turned into everyone hammer Perry (not that there's anything wrong with it).

This is the best one by far, though. Legitimate questions and the moderator isn't opening his mouth every 5 seconds like the MSNBC douche was.

I really like Cain. Seems genuine and he answers every question straight forward, with the best example being SS. While Perry and Romney are busy pointing fingers over playing "he said, she said", Cain's already laid out his solution.

Had no idea he had Stage IV cancer.

I like Cain a ton.

that huntsmann/cain handshake.... that shit gave me chills. THAT Is the winning combination.

LOL @ huntsmann pointing out the two top guys might just bludgeon one another, and how we saw the same thing with Rudy/Thompson in 2008.

When Perry tried to speak 'on the fly', he sounded like a damn fool.

Cain has great temperament, tone, mature, dignified, etc. He is moving up past bachmann for me right now.

How come no one has done a satire bit on luntz's focus groups? That could be comedic gold.

N.H. poll shocker: Perry falls, Romney surges as does Jon Huntsman
Source: Los Angeles Times

Well, here are a couple of -- no, make that several -- new wrinkles in the Republican presidential contest in New Hampshire:

With the next televised debate tonight in Florida on Fox News, a new poll of likely New Hampshire Republican voters shows Mitt Romney surging to a commanding 27-point lead over his closest GOP rival, who is not Rick Perry.

The Texas governor, whose mid-August entry saw him rush to the top of numerous national Republican polls, was pushed way down in the new Suffolk University Poll to fourth place deep into the single digits, barely ahead of the not-even-running Sarah Palin.

But here's a surprising, potentially significant development for the New Hampshire contest. Jon Huntsman, who's been swimming around the bottom of the field like a foraging flounder barely registering in most polls, has himself surged. He's moved all the way up to 10% and third place -- ahead of Perry.

Yes you have. I've been on huntmann's nuts since 2009, I think. BEFORE obama sent his ass overseas. I got all loud and douchy when Obama sent him overseas, saying he was the biggest 2012 threat.

Anyone know where I can get huntsmann 2012 stickers? I'm on that.

Cain was great tonight.
Newt was good except he was kind of condescending when he refused to "play the Hollywood game" or whatever he said.
I do like Bachmann.
Ron Paul got the ignore shaft.
I kind of like Huntsman but I don't like the way he talks w/his hands so much...there's something about it that bothers me and some stuff he says seems like filler that is ingenuine or something...jmo
Mitt and Perry were kind of irritating but I like Mitt more than Perry. Perry did not do well imo.
Johnson did OK..seemed nervous.
Santorum-I kind of like him but he seems "blamey" and whiney. Did he actually answer Perry's 3am question? Maybe I missed it but it seemed like he said essentially the same thing as Perry.

240 is Back · « **Reply #46 on:** September 22, 2011, 08:26:11 PM »

i thought perry never went there and asnwered the Q - he webt back to blaming obama for not having things in place, etc.

I posted aobut it immediately - 'Why didn't perry answer it!"?

Then, santorum pointed that out, and delivered it. Santorum = respect. I've always disliked him for that whininess, but tonight he was good.

I did miss it then. I thought Perry was saying, we need relationships w/India, etc. blah blah and then Santorum said Perry didn't answer and said we need relationship w/Pakistan...but I missed anything after that. Do you remember his whole answer?

Hugo Chavez · « **Reply #48 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:15:59 PM »

can't wait to see what this does to the polls in the next few days.

I Predict:

Santorum will go up. He got a great deal of time and for being such a gomer, he did very well.
Perry will go down, he got hammered and did not do well with his own answers.
Mitt will go up, this was his best debate performance yet.
Ron Paul will probably stay the same, he didn't get much time and was pretty much left out of any back and forth by others on the stage.
Cain might go up a bit but I don't think by much.
Huntsman got nowhere to go but up.
Bachmann will go down.

Hugo Chavez · « **Reply #49 on:** September 22, 2011, 10:08:11 PM »

Just a quick search through the transcript to see who had the most response moments, Here's the numbers:

Perry: 22
Santorum 20
Romney 18
Bachmann 10
Gingrich 10
Huntsman 9
Cain: 6
Ron Paul 5
Johnson 3

Johnson Paul and Cain got screwed. Considering Paul is in 3rd place, that is kinda fucked up. It's no secret Fox hates the guy with a passion... What the hell is up with giving Santorum that much time when he's dead 2nd to last in the poll averages?
