You know, an interesting part of this next segment is that participation is a function of how energetic a candidate is, not just who the moderators feel like asking questions.

Who do you think will talk the most? Santorum? Gingrich?

I predict:

Newt
Santorum
Cain
Bachmann

(gap)

Romney
Paul
Huntsman

(gap)

Perry

Paul should ask Romney why does he receive so much money from Goldman Sachs or something like that.

That would be tasty

Ugh. So Santorum and Paul dominate, then.

Paul dominating this one and schooling the childern sounds about right. How is that a bad thing?

Anyone know anything about this shadowy "Peter Foundation" group?

Peter Peterson is a billionaire co-founder of Blackstone (a private equity group) whose foundation is focused on reducing the budget deficit.

Wait.  Did Bachmann just say that Reagan was campaigning for a third term?

Bachmann:  Perry, why do love Al Gore and raise taxes on the people of Texas?

Perry:  Um, well, I used to be a Democrat, but hey, I was a Republican younger than Reagan.  And, by the way, you suck.  So, there!

Good move on Perry's part - pointing out that Texas is a Southern state. Subtle and smart play for a critical demographic.

Does this Cain-Romney exchange sound rehearsed to anyone else?

Cain:  I can name all three parts of my 999 plan.  Mitt, can you name even one of the points in your five thousand page plan?

Nice.

That would be an interesting strategy for dealing with this format, actually.

Last cycle, Romney sounded like a Republican president from central casting.

This cycle, Romney sounds like a Republican president.

It's quite an improvement.

Newt:  I have a pair of kneepads and a very deep throat, Mitt.  But, before I crawl under your desk I just wanted to clarify the height of your desk, because I have a big head and I don't want to bump it.  Can you tell me how high it is?

Mitt:  Well, I actually have a helmet just your size, Newt.  Wink
