2012 republican presidential nominee III: can romney get santorum out of his hair?

"in the old west anybody could give you an EEG and you agreed on his fee like gentlemen"

i think gingrich is winning but i can't tell if that's true or if i just really really want it to be true

How dare Romney support a health care system that seems to work?

Too bad Blitzer is too big a pussy to keep this mess in check, but I guess it makes for better TV.

"for the 8% of ppl who don't have insurance they can get insurance by buying it from the 12% who didn't have public insurance before we changed the mandate of, i mean, the 4% whose private insurances they could get or help pay for their care which is what everyone either has to pay the state for the 15% of the people getting something for free and that's why it's not obamacare."

I think it's what you want to be true mordy, I'd like him to be scoring lols left and right but it's not happening

yessssss Ron Paul making racial generalizations

he didn't write that answer, it was ghostwritten

also, how can he be a racist? he's a libertarian. he only judges ppl based on being individuals, not groups. and every individual mexican has sound financial advice.

mexicans need to learn more about monetary policy, but they have much to teach us about not going to war

Is it his fault that the free market shakes out to oppress women and minorities? Invisible hand at work there.

the invisible man w/ the invisible hand is an invisible wealthy white dude

Not white, translucent. He just seems white because of the light shining though him.

You can also tell he's a dude from his translucent penis.

you can tell he's wealthy from the giant electric money signs in his godhead eyeballs

"Won" always requires quotation marks for these things, but for me, Paul's had the best night--he's such a contrast to the others. Romney's done what he had to do, plus more, although he started to overstep himself at one point in the last segment, when he launched a superfluous attack on Gingrich about something or other.

wait this is the stupidest question ever

"yo guys, tell me about your successful marriages and then we'll all lol at newt."

"why would your wife make a great first lady" what the fuckin

gingrich would sleep w/ any of these wives

"Give us three compelling reasons why we should bone your wife, Newt."

calista will look the best frozen in carbonite

Okay, let's back to the nasty debate--wives, please step out of the room.

Scion of Michican Governor George Romney denies early interest in politics.

can't they teach romney to switch up from his monotone voice and add a little character to it?

he sounds the same no matter what he says

I think they can program him to do that, yes.

santorum is going off the deep end here

lol Santorum thinks Chavez is Cuba's puppet huh

dude that is prevailing Miami Cuban sentiment

Sorry about allowing the cancer you voted for, Bolivia.

I don't think Romney has much of a chance of winning the Obamacare vs Romnecare debate in the fall.
10 minutes ago

this will be a riot

Missed this:

9.28 pm. Holy shit. Romney actually reminded people that his only wife had both multiple sclerosis and cancer and he stuck with her. Wow. When he wants to stab someone in the front, he knows how.

this will be a riot

otm

presumably it'll go something like: "no, romney, you don't understand. i really, really, really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for designing the program that i based our national healthcare system on."

palestinian republicans: the forgotten electoral demographic

are palestinian republicans the nascar dads of 2012

looking forward to the Log-Cabin/Palestinian Republican coalition

just tuned in

delicious

I think Newt has said "I agree with Governor Romney" about four times in the past 15 minutes. Goodbye, Newt.

DAMMIT SOMEBODY SAY MORMON SOMEBODY SAY MORMON

I thought Mitt was winning this huge until Santorum boxed him in on the mandate.

i like that the fringe dudes are literally on the fringe

yeah I pretty much agree w/ that take matt

Maybe that Romney-Santorum confrontation on health care will hurt Romney in October debates, but I don't think it hurt him at all in this contest--I thought he dodged it pretty well.

obama's a much more coherent debater than any of these dudes and if he really wants to make romney squirm w/ health care it won't be hard

Maybe they'd both just sidestep the issue. Obama never seems eager to bring the issue up (what'd get the other night, two minutes?), and I'm sure that would be fine with Romney. Obama making Romney squirm because Romney created the blueprint for a program that has been a political liability (thus far) for Obama is...confusing.

People in that audience cheered when Romney alluded to Romneycare!

audience seemed pretty pro-romney from the start

It's insanity and cowardice for Obama not to campaign on the most popular elements the AHCA. He can say, "My plan is far from perfect, but thanks to it your children don't have to worry about not having insurance at college. Thanks to this, you needn't worry that your daughter won't get coverage because she was born with diabetes."
