This is not the general primaries thread. General primaries talk goes here.

It was hilarious. Post-Iowa I saw and interview with him. It seems like he's finally caught on that his 9/11 whoring is a running joke. Whenever he really wanted to stay 9/11 he kinda of stumbled and mumbled out"...erm....crisis" really awkwardly.
I think he's getting more concerned about its potential for alcohol poisoning.
Isn't scheduling, like, anything against football death in the States?
When asked if he was worried about his (piss-poor) results he responded with something like "on 911 there are times when I was worried." I larfed.
I'm not a fan of Ron Paul but I was happy as shit when he destroyed Rudy in the polls.
Rudy forfeited Iowa months ago when he decided not to campaign there and only really start after Florida had its vote. That's like beating up on the hobo's pet rat and calling it a victory.
Oooo, casual!
Sorry.
Don't deny me my guilty pleasure damn you!
I despise the man back from his Mayoral Days (I'm 40 mins out from NYC) but even I thought he'd do better then the paltry showing he displayed in Iowa. And yes I know he didn't campaign there, but I still think it's telling.
Yep, which considering it would be airing normally the same time as the big Seahawk game it's probably the better decision.
"The seating order was chosen at random", which is the polite way of saying "John McCain isn't all the way on the left because some of you GOP voters think he's a commie".
Oh, and isn't this debate the sum total of Fred Thompson's New Hampshire campaign?
And in a stunning upset, Fred Thompson makes the first 9/11 War On Global Jihad reference! Suck it, Rudy!
Annnnnd Rudy wants to seriously beef up the military. 10 more brigades, beef up the NAVY, etc.
Edit: And here's McCain's response in visual form:
And you people like him?
::kicks dust::
Because that's the way to win a national election: Say you agree with a President who's got a 30% approval rating.
Edit: Oh, wow. Paul using the how-would-we-feel-if-China-put-bases-in-Mexico question. Romney says "you're reading their propaganda". You fucking prick.
Am I the only one who thinks of a Downy commercial every time I see that picture?
Mmmmm ............ spring time fresh!
JUST CUT HIM OFF BACK RON! Christ!
Dogpile on Ron Paul! But for the only policy stance Ron Paul's right about! Go!
It's so sad. If any of these bozos somehow magically win the election, I'm gonna become an alcoholic.
Props for the Sayyid Qutb reference, Huck! Someone's been studying after those Pakistan gaffes!
