Romney...couple images I'll have a hard time getting rid of them..and Johnson's dogs are one. Need to give a lot of thought to this and any one of these could be a better president than we have now.

Cain would pick Gingrich (seems to be a popular choice.)

 

Huntsman: Romney and Perry won't be around because they'll have bludgeoned each other to death...would pick Cain.

Only got to see last hour due to uninvited friend and her daughter coming over to watch some relative on Xfactor, every commercial I turned to debate.

 

Huntsman makes me think of an aging Ken doll, too plastic

Gary Condit in my mind. Not fair probably as he does have good ideas, but just not thrilled with him.

So what was accomplished tonight? Any minds changed? I am still waiting for someone else to enter the race.

Plans laid out, slammed Obama. Probably not. I told you, stop pestering me until I decide to declare. :lol:

Good job, guys. It's always fun to read your comments. My brain can't watch the debate, read what you say, and try to comment myself, but it's fun to come here afterwards.

 

Good night, all.

Winners:

 

Romney, followed by Gingrich.

 

Breakout star: Gary Johnson. Comes across as a more rational Ron Paul. Loved his "Two dogs" line, best quote of the debates.

 

Biggest disappointment: Rick Perry, who seemed to fumble while Romney effectively countered his attacks.

 

Meh: Jon Huntsman.

 

Losing ground: Michelle Bachmann.

 

Award for spunk and optimism: Herman Cain.

Good round up, WVR!

I confess I am not completely enthused about any of them --still would take ANY over the o.

Don't know what it is but something about Perry is too packaged, too stiff and contrived. Romney is Romney - was for him in 08 but somehow after what we have gone through the last 3 years he is too old school (???). Bachmann I like still but somehow lately I cannot see her as President dealing with certain world leaders "who hate women".

Cain I REALLY like but cannot see as President because of several factors. Santorium is a decent good person but he just does not have the "it" factor. For that matter neither do any of the others.

No real disagreement.

 

Perry looked like he was trying to hard. Trying to knock Mitt Romney with one blow.

 

Bachmann, I've said from the beginning that she could not win. I've always thought she is running to raise her name ID, and never considered her a serious candidate. I hope she doesn't lose her House seat because of this.

 

Cain, what can I say except he has my heart

 

"Breakout star: Gary Johnson. Comes across as a more rational Ron Paul."

 

Talk about setting the bar low! :D

For what it's worth He is a big favorite over at CGP.

 

 

At some point fairly soon some of these candidates are going to have to realize that it's not happening this time and drop out.

Mark Steyn (subbing for Rush today) agreed with me :DB) at least the little I heard of his opinions as I drove from place to place.

 

NEW YORK -- Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson brought down the house at Thursday night's Fox News/ Google debate when he joked about how his "next-door neighbor's two dogs have created more shovel-ready jobs than this current administration."

 

The joke killed among the GOP faithful. But was Johnson the first to use it?

 

Just today, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh delivered a similar joke on air.

 

"My dogs have created more shovel-ready work than Obama has just this week alone," Limbaugh said. "The new puppy. Honest to God. More shovel-ready work for me this week than Obama has created all two and a half years."

 

So what does Limbaugh think of the similarity?

 

"I guess I've become show prep for the GOP debates now, too," Limbaugh told The Huffington Post in an email. Limbaugh said he thought he used the line yesterday, "but the days run together, so I'm not really sure."

 

Limbaugh didn't hear the joke live because he was traveling, but said he's received many emails about it.

 

UPDATE: HuffPost’s Sara Kenigsberg spoke to Johnson about the joke shortly after the GOP debate ended. Johnson told her that Jim Villanucci, a former "Tonight Show" writer and current radio host on Albuquerque’s KKOB station, sent him several jokes late Thursday afternoon. "He texted me about eight one-liners that maybe I could use so it was one of those things that, 'wow, that was really funny," Johnson said. He didn't know about Limbaugh telling the joke earlier today.

 

From Rush's site.
