Perry is angry.  And is still pushing the "our problems are so simple even I can understand them" thing.

The moderators are setting up EVERYONE to attack Newt, and everyone's doing it so far.

Ok, I'm watching this with a huge group of people and can hear nothing, but it looks like Romney is tearing things up. True/false?

Romney's doing good but not great.  Newt is doing good but the kitchen sink has been thrown at him.

Did Perry just say Isreal didn't matter?

He meant that Newt's comments didn't matter, but didn't make that clear.

He got quite a bit of applause there, though.

Moderators: Dang, we're out of things to fight over.  Mandates!

Is Rick Perry back? Of the three lower-tier candidates who are plausible Iowa winners, he's been having the best night by far.

Perry and Bachmann are the winners so far tonight.

The really interesting thing about Perry is that he is taking the initiative to get into the debate rather than hanging back and hoping the moderators don't call on him, which has (wisely) been his strategy so far.

Santorum B- (partly due to lack of time)
Romney: C+
