2012 Oh My Sweet Jesus, We Just Finished the Last Debate, and Now There's Another Debate?

Posted by Paul Constant on Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 5:45 AM

UPDATE: And it's over. It began and ended with some nice Gingrich-on-Romney sniping, but the center of the debate was more of the same. Rick Santorum managed to keep from frothing at the mouth about gays too much, which is a victory for him, because his hatred is off-putting to moderate New Hampshire Republicans. Ron Paul was....as Ron Paul as Ron Paul always is. Huntsman didn't knock anything out of the park, and Rick Perry remembered three things in a row, so he's probably expecting to get a medal once he gets off-stage.

Summary: I don't think this debate changed any New Hampshire voters' minds.

ORIGINAL POST: Apparently so! It starts at 6 am Seattle time and you can allegedly find live video of it right here. Last night's debate was boring, with none of the candidates willing to attack Mitt Romney and all of the candidates willing to attack Ron Paul. Maybe in the harsh light of morning, things will be different, somehow? I'll be in the box below, struggling to stay awake. If you're got insomnia (or, better yet, if you're still drunk from Saturday night) you should join me.

Romney did well last night;
everyone was pretty civil;
Danny's strawman of banning contraception was dismissed neatly by Mitt {making George S. (whom we like...) look kind of nutty in the process};
the field calmly explained why they oppose homosexual marriage and will seek to amend the US Constitution to ban it (joining the voters in 30+ states who have already done so....);
Huntsman is a freak irrelevance and his campaign expires in 38 hours;
Newt grumbled but didn't land a glove on Mitt-

it's starting to look like a Romney-Santorum ticket that will have broad center-right appeal and leave Danny sputtering...

it makes one wonder.....

Next January when America inaugurates a Mormon and a Catholic who are committed to making the US Constitution Pro-Life and Pro-Family will Danny still be crowing "We're Winning!"?

Oh gosh, who won this debate??

WHO FUCKING CARES??

It's Obama vs Romney and WE ALL LOSE!

Obama sold us out, we know that now. NDAA was the "fuck you" on the cake.

You want progressive? Here's your guy:

So will Danny manage to keep from frothing at the mouth about Santorum too much, which would be a victory for him, because his hatred is off-putting to, well, to pretty much everyone except the Dannycult fanboys.....
