What, no live blog? Let’s get one rolling!
8:00 Debate opens with a question about Newt Gingrich’s infidelity. Newt responds by attacking the press. None of the others want to touch the issue. Santorum comes the closest, but ultimately shy’s away by alluding to God’s forgiveness and such nonsense. The crowd eats up Gingrich’s attack on the press. If there’s anytthing that Republican crowds hate nearly as much as a black president, it’s the press.
8:20 Romney calls Obama a crony capitalist for not allowing GM to fail. GM just reported that it has regained its place as the most successful automaker in the world. It doesn’t matter. UAW. Obama should have let GM fail just to stick it to the unions.
8:25 So Ron Paul’s never heard of the G.I. bill. That’s interesting.
8:30 OMG… Newt Gingrich is channeling… ME? Excuse me while I go to shoot myself.
They have my vote:
Sociopath? Criminally insane? Possibly home-schooled?
