GOP DEBATE THREAD TONIGHT Weds. Sept. 7 MSNBC AT 8 p.m. EST

[C-B-M]

Mitt Romney just got the best applause after he said, basically, "forget all of this, we need to get rid of this President."

[C-B-M]

Ron Paul is a total nut. His plan is to take air conditioning away from the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, which would force them to return home. And then he'd spend that money to fund FEMA. What a nut.

He is trying so hard to keep the conversation off his record with mandates.

John Huntsman seems like a measured fella, he's talkin' 'bout the unemployed and yet the swabby looks very orange to me also. maybe thar be somethin' wrong with me television, aye?

aye!

- MeadHallPirate

ps - but maybe not, Governor Perry seems kinda pasty lookin'.

[Sluggo]

Speak of moving the conversation around on a dime, Huntsman and Perry both are doing pretty well at staying on message. Both of them, more or less, trying to keep it on economy and jobs.

It is not you, I am watching this on high def and it appears they all look orange... or blasted, your choice. Perhaps it is all the red in the background, the moderators table, carpet, and everywhere else they can force shades in. The set designer probably needs to tone that down.

[MeadHallPirate]

errrr....

Rick Perry be talkin', but i don't understand what he sayin'. he just said that he cut spendin', and the spendin' cuts were absorbed by the schools.

...and his state be a success.

utter silence from them folks in the audience. glacial.

tidal in scope.

[MeadHallPirate]

it seems Rick Perry wants to put predator drones on the border and put the US army thar too.
