Note to Perry:  The only correct answer is "Yes, Reagan rules."

Played like a fiddle by the chinese?  C'mon Mitt.   Played like a guqin, maybe, or a sanxian.  The Chinese don't fiddle.  What a dork.

Charlie Rose, because he's sitting next to Juliana Goldman.

And especially Karen Tumulty.   Rrrrwawwwr.

Creepy disembodied voice: Look how warm everybody looks.

I noticed that too.  Wasn't quite sure what he said.  Good thing we have a linguist among us.

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!

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.

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

Ron:  Hey Herman, you were on the federal reserve board, tell us why you're so evil?

Herman:  Nine!  Nine!  Nine!

Romney:  Congresswoman Bachmann, those kneepads just might fit you too.  

Bachmann:  I'm a mother of five children from my current husband, seven from my college boyfriend, and four from my high school sweetheart.  I don't need no stinkin kneepads, honey.

Santorum:  Cain, you... are... a... TOOL.  

Cain:  Nine.  Nine.  Nine.  


I agree that Santorum, although batty, is extremely smart.

summarizing who asked what in first round
Bachmann   Perry - Gore support/TX debt
Cain      Romney - 57 point plan not simple
Gingrich   Romney - Middle class tax cuts
Huntsman   Romney - Bain Capital firings
Paul      Cain - Auditing Fed
Perry      Romney - Romneycare=Obamacare
Romney      Bachmann - jobs plan
Santorum   Cain - TARP/999





Better summary:




Romney:  Which one of you bitches want to be my VP.

Cain:  Not so fast, Mister Fifty-Nine Points.

Excellent question about income disparity.

This always puts the Republicans on the spot, and should have been asked sooner.

They are comparing their humble roots. Lets see Romney jump into that one

We were all poor back then.  I was poor.  My wife was poor.  The maid was poor.  The butler was poor...

Perry misses a chance to talk about roots as a poor sharecropper.

So does Mitt.

Go figure.

Questions dodged.

Jokes made.

Some were even funny.

Nine.  Nine.  Nine.



Oh, and Ron Paul cut into your boy Herman Cain.  (You understand that I'd call him "your boy" regardless of his ethnicity.  Just want to clear that up before someone starts a thread about it.)  

But overall, the candidates were all more impressive than they had been in the past.  Maybe it was the format.  Or the fact that it was run by a PBS talking head instead of a Fox or CNN one.
