I am having trouble with the thought that I may have to support Mitt in the general. I can't vote for a dem....but I have never voted for someone as slimy as him...it is going to be like choking down the broccoli as a 5 year old
If you feel Mitt is slimy, then imagine your on a Nickolodean TV show and they're about to slim you. Or, if you don't like that, you can always imagine you just got slimmed Ghostbusters style, either way, it's all fun :P
Time to load up some more anti-Mitt graphics for the McCain campaign, I guess.

Holy cow, what a crap-sandwich of a debate.
Stare decisis is fo' suckas -- Feddie
Maybe its my bias but i think Fred will siphon off some of Mitt's votes, as McCain's support in NH seems to be pretty solid/organized
It's your bias. Mitt's the honetown guy. His support is pretty solid and he is well organized. McCain's got more of the Obama type of independent support.

Huck is getting hammered hard and not taking it as well as Mitt did yesterday.
Fred and Rudy seem to be doing well but at not getting much in edge wise.
McCain is controlling himself better tonight but he hasn't had a home run response yet.
Romney has been doing well, maybe dominating a little too much, but he is in the groove.
Whats up with Cameron Carlson?

Nothing like free ads for Mitt, love it.
They pulled out the Romney attack Huckabee ad.
Nice bank shot. Slams huck and lets McCain look pleasant and affable.

Fred Thompson's John Wayne comment was just awesome.
Huck said Chuck Norris was standing outside the debate.
Thompson said, "If John Wayne were here, I'd have him [Wayne] beat him up."
Yes, I'm definitely shouting. YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

nice.
Mitt and Rudy were the best tonight.
John was pretty good overall, though he had a couple sketchy spots.
Fred and Mike not horrible, but not great performances either.

Huck is going to be way disappointed if McCain wins the nomination and doesn't get the VP slot because Huck doesn't stand a chance. McCain is just letting him believe he has a shot.

I knew President Lincoln, Mr. Huckabee you're no President Lincoln.

...the Chuck Norris endorsement is cute and kinda funny, but at some point, is it hard to take someone seriously who has Walker Texas Ranger at every campaign stop and in the background at press releases.
“.....women and minorities hardest hit”
I think Huckabee plans on having a chair next to his in the oval office for Chuck. Fight your own battles for crying out loud. Or is it because he always has to turn the other cheek? So he keeps norris around to deal with "unpleasentries".
I can't wait under the Huck administration when the next 9/11 hits, we will all turn the other cheek.

All I heard was "You're campaign/commercial says X. Would someone like to respond?"
This whole debate was about how campaigns are run and very little on actual issues. Last night's debate was much better.
Fox must think this is some kind of debate game and not a matter of choosing a president.
Mitt is the winner tonight.

Sounds like the anti-evangelical vote is out tonight in NH
No more anti-evangelical than Iowans were anti-Morman. New Hampshire has witnessed the freak show that was the Iowa caucus and saw the evangelical litmus test. They dont like it. As a Catholic Yankee. I didnt like it and I thought it made the GOP base look stupid. NH is going to shoot Huck and Fred down in response to Iowa (Fred unfairly, but I rhink it will be a knee-jerk reaction)
to Huckabee...WOW....I am also seeing how Thompson gets the lazy tag and that's sad because they think he is saying all the right things just not in a upbeat in your face way.
Freedom of Religion not Freedom from Religion
I thought Fred did well, but John McCain won by not losing.
I thought Rudy needed to have a strong performance, gave an ok performance and therefore lost.
Romney needed to shut down McCain, didn't and therefore lost.
The Huckster was so far off his game as to seriously damage his future post NH
Why the heck did they even invite Fred and Rudy? So they could get a front row seat at the debate, apparently.
I KNEW Fox had some issue with Fred, but HOLY COW. That is an insult and a slap. No time to speak, the couple of times he did get time involved stupid questions.

may have tipped the scale in Romney's favor. At least in the minds of some "undecided" New Hampshire voters.

Romney is on his game, like him or not. Don't know if it'll be enough. If he pulls out a win Tuesday, it'll be because of Romney being good tonight and McCain being nasty last night. Of course, everybody tends to think their candidate wins every debate, but even being as objective as possible, I think he had the night he was looking for. Focus group seems to agree.
McCain is a little more subdued, but I don't think it'll help. A little too friendly to Huck, and we all know by now he doesn't like Mitt. Still doesn't look comfortable dealing with immigration and sounds worse...
Huckabee didn't hold up that well. Like last night, he's coming across like he isn't sure how to proceed after winning Iowa. He's more suited for playing the quiet dark horse, rather than the scrutinized front-runner.
Giuliani wasn't bad but a little too anxious to stuff all of his usual talking points, even if they were an awkward fit to the situation. We all know he's just doing this to keep up appearances until Florida.
Fred didn't have too much going on. Not in a bad way either. Stole Huck's Chuck Norris moment from him.
In short. Good for Mitt, rough night for Huckabee. Neutral for Fred and Rudy. Neutral for McCain too, except he may have lost ground to Mitt.
and I will not compromise my principles and vote for him. Not today, tomorrow, NEVER! Fred was our last hope and the electorate can't see this. The vast majority of the informed know that Fred is the best we have to offer. Too bad the sheep are so blind. Maybe it will take 4 years of Clinton or Osama to wake the sheep up. I pray for our country but sorry Mitt fans, he’ll never win in November. The dims will shred him like a block of cheese.

Huck stole Fred's base, but tonight I realize tonight that Fred will also pay for the anti-Morman and evangelical zeal of Iowa and Huck. I know it wasn't him, but I think Iowa ignited a little regional war. I think the NH, MI, non-southern SoCon may unfairly lump Fred in with the Huckster.
Live to fight another day. Fred told FNC this morning that YES he has "given" up on NH. The big picture has not played out...not yet.
Turtle and the Hare fable..remember it?
So will Fred drop out if he looses in SC? I think he's walking dead now, just a matter of time.

He's not really playing to win in New Hampshire. He needs to make a respectable showing then it's on to South Carolina, where he definitely needs a win.
“.....women and minorities hardest hit”
Sorry, that's not going to be respectable. I just don't think Fred is going to make it even if he's the most Conservative candidate.
...it's not going to be bad, IMO. If the victories are scattered about amongst the 5 candidates, the party will not coalesce around one guy until Feb 5. Fred will definitely need a win at some point though. If he doesn't win in South Carolina, he's done.

Enjoy your time as the Fox News golden boy Mitt Fans. But remember what happened to the Fox News backed Rudy and then Fred. Fox News support... the kiss of death.
Despite having what I actually think is probably the best grasp and positions on issues, Fred has not been able to connect to voters or sell his campaign. FredBots seem to want to blame everyone, including Fox, the MSM and anyone else for this failure, but they need to look a whole lot closer to home.
Fred failed you, nobody else and it's a darn shame because he would make a good President, he's just not going to catch on.

and I say that as a Fred supporter.
He looked terrible.
My wife was watching for the first time, not knowing anything about the candidates and had the following comments:
Fred -- He doesn't look like he wants to be there.
Mitt -- It looks a little too slick
McCain -- He looks to anxious to be president
I don't know if I agreed that Mitt was fabulous, but he certainly nailed Huckabee to the ground with the "Look my commercials are only 30 seconds long. I don't have time to talk that much about you." And his comments about the facts being that Huckabee pardoned 1000 people including 12 murderers.
That's just devasting for Huckabee.
...They didn't even give Fred much of any time. Pure garbage and yet another Fox News debate flop. A joke.

This was definitely Fred's best night.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm to the point that I don't care which of these guys gets the nomination anymore. I'll go to the poll unenthused and disappointed either way.
Our chances in 08 don't look good.

About the only good thing that I can think of right off hand about Fred actually getting out of the race will be idiots like you shutting the heck up and actually contributing something to the dialog on RS other than mindless pap about how great Fred is.
He's a good guy and would make a good President, but he's not selling it. Deal with it fool.

"he would make a good President" then why does he need to "sell it" to you? You've already got the message. And yet you insist there's something inferior about him, or he's not sufficiently playing the dog and pony show, or SOMETHING is bad about him.
What, exactly?

more than say, one posting from me on "how great Fred is". You won't find them. Guaranteed.
What I object to is shallow posters who know how to do nothing but criticize candidates. Your blogs are nothing but criticisms of other candidates (dating back to at least January, 2007). Your comments are nothing but criticisms of other candidates. You are a broken record.
Your response is a little testy. Truth hurts?

(As a Thompson supporter, I give this one to Romney.)
During tonight's debate (forum) on FoxNews, Sen. McCain gave a litany of reasons why he had the best foreign policy credentials, stressing the "right" choices he has made during his tenure.
It is long forgotten that before 9/11, John McCain was an avid supporter not only of Chechnya, but of the Chechen rebels (Muslim nationalists) who commit untold acts of horror during and since Russia brought an end to the conflict. Following 9/11, these "rebels" looked more and more to the Western world as terrorists.
From http://www.takimag.com/site/article/persecuting_putin/
Sen. John McCain, one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination in 2008, was already on a tear about Russian depredations in Chechnya in his 2000 campaign and gave indications during the campaign that he considered it an important priority to intervene in Chechnya in some manner to bring an end to the war there. As some will recall, Sen. McCain was at that time the poster boy for aggressive, neoconservative foreign policy activists inside the Republican Party, and his hard line on Chechnya matched the long-running neoconservative interest in encircling, containing and weakening post-Soviet Russia that recurred throughout the ‘90s. Beginning with the infamous 1990 Wolfowitz Memo, which laid out a proposal for massive military buildups and interventions in the non-Russian republics, it continued throughout the decade and included brazen, full-throated neoconservative support for the U.S. and NATO bombings of Yugoslavia in 1995 and 1999 respectively. Praise for the Chechen cause, descriptions of Chechnya’s “president,” Aslan Maskhadov, as a freedom fighter, and apologias for Chechen terrorism.
What kind of "freedom fighters" were these? The same who have done the following:

The more I hear crap like this the more I think Fred supporters are on something besides election season adrenaline. No wonder our movement cannot even recognize we are becoming more and more out of touch with the average voter.
Romney was the clear winner tonight. Huckabee was the clear loser. All the other performances, including Fred's, fell somewhere in the middle and don't advance or detract from that candidates chances.
Kudos to Romney for finally getting it together.
