The Official Des Moines Register/ABC News/Yahoo Iowa GOP Debate Thread

Does anyone know where the debate video is posted? I unfortunately missed it, and can't find the debate on abc news's website.

My feed dropped out half way through and I didn't notice.  Can someone fill me in on why people think Romney did so bad?

Probably because most forum members don't like him, and automatically think he loses a debate. I remember the apocalyptic predictions from last debate that he had shot himself in the foot, had no chance of the nomination anymore, and stuff along the lines from that perspective, and yet most commentators thought he did phenomenal in the National Security debate.

The $10,000 bet is going to be the only thing people remember from this debate. They won't even remember what the bet was about. Just the fact that Romney actually thought it was perfectly reasonable to go around wagering $10,000.

The only people who will remember it are the drama queens on MSNBC, and people who don't give a crap about voting in the GOP primaries anyway.

Check your morning paper tomorrow!

EDIT: Or the Ted Kennedy line from Newt. Which of course is also bad for Romney.
