Primary 2012: Romney Wins Debate By Saying Nothing, Having Nice Hair

Are you kidding? Newt won the crazy-off. Which was the real contest.
Romney did pretty well sounding presidential and presenting like he's on top.
Pawlenty: "We're not Portugal.... If China can have 5% growth we can have 5% growth."
Comparison of Convenience GO!
GT: batshido Hit me up on ME3.
if you don't believe in that then you don't believe in America!
Was this intentional? Because he said that.
But he won mostly by not being at all memorable. He's in the position where a good impression does him virtually no good but a bad impression can really hurt him. He made it through the debate making NO impression whatsoever.
Newt was doing ok until he made a mid-debate recalculation and warped straight into crazytown.

As a liberal, he and the rest were just flat out crazy.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
I actually was frustrated with this part of the debate. This nonsense about sharia law is infuriating. Someone should just say, Sharia law, christian law, any divine law cannot be Constitutional.
Pfft. This is an argument that you're supposed to make for people you've never heard of, not someone with whom you're on a figurative first name basis. "Considering his mom is his campaign manager, Herman Cain did great!" That sort of thing.
The one that deemphasized counterterrorism and allowed 9/11 to happen. Also George W Bush.

CNN can always be counted on to call out misinformation and bullshit when it makes the least difference.
I thought that was understood.

I'm just saying I think his measure of success is if he can get some increased campaign funding. Right now his campaign is on serious life support. If he can persuade donors that he is still good, which I think he did, then he wins. Everyone else on that stage didn't have much to lose except Romney, if he spit the bit. Newt on the other hand is likely finished if he can't convince donors to give him more money.
On a different issue, man I wish they went into depth on Space exploration. I want to fly an X-wing!

I was going to ask why facts would be at all relevant to the situation at hand.
Bachman did very well tonight. She threw out a lot of easy applause lines, and she stayed disturbingly on message then entire time (when she wasn't bashing Obama). I agree to some extent that the best Romney could hope for was zero impact, but he seemed almost invisible there and assuming somebody somewhere outside of New Hampshire was watching, that could hurt him later on.
Meanwhile, I believe it was T-Paw who decided tonight would be a good time to tell Iowa he wasn't going to bother with their primary.
Gingrich and Cain both took the light rail to crazy town and then burned the track because public transportation is a socialist trap.
Santorum is just sad, and Paul is just nuts.
The real winner here tonight was America.

Is this streaming anywhere?

Krugman mentioned him saying that last week.

I may be proven wrong, but considering his problem is that he's a lazy fundraiser in the first place, my guess is he's done regardless. Bundlers and people who write $2300 checks don't jump off the couch and hunt for their pocket books just because they saw a debate.
The thing that's important to remember about Newt Gingrich is that, yes, he may have been the Speaker of the House, but he has never in his life run a campaign before an electorate larger than a single Congressional District. He has no idea how much work this actually takes.
I don't get what the fascination is with Paul but man. I think he did very poorly. His answers weren't very cogent and in many cases he sounded like this "Rambling.....The Fed.......Rambling...Printing money....rambling....The Fed"
No, he said that it doesn't matter if Muslims take loyalty oaths, because they just lie in order to carry out terrorist bombings, so we should root them out like the Nazis and Communists.
Yes, Newt Gingrich just made Joe McCarthy seem sane in comparison.

The Central Pacific (Caifornia -> east) was built by Chinese emigrants. Not well paid, but not slaves.
I shall have to hunt down highlight reels...
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
"Sweatshop labor," maybe? Seems like it's being kind of hard on sweatshops, though.
CNN's reairing it at 11pm and 2am ET tonight with Anderson Cooper filling in the gaps. I suppose that's not very helpful if you're working the graveyard shift, though.
coolies is what the British called them. seems accurate enough. Sort of indentured labor, and we'd deport them when we finished things.
I'd also love a picture of the guy with the gray beard who was red faced and had his head in his hands. It's probably wishful thinking for one to be produced, though.
Several of her lines absolutely killed, she got great applause on the "I'm running for President" bit and the "Fuck the French" bits specifically.
Seriously, CNN and a lot of the hardcore Republic Wingnut sites are backing Bachmann (with some outside support for Newt and his "Enslave the Muslims" agenda).
