10:30pm - Hunter - "China is building its defenses, and as we allow them to cheat on trade they are arming against us. They will treat us the way the treated the guy in front of the tank in Tienneman Square."

10:29pm - Romney - "No Child Left Behind is good. Testing is good. The real test is not what's going on here on this stage but rather what is happening in our cities' public schools."

10:27pm - Gilbore - Completely unfair question by Wallace (the first one of the night) on the "statement" it makes that there is no minority on stage. Maybe the worst question of the night. How can those who decide to run be responsible for those who did not?

10:26pm - Tancredo - "I'm looking for Jack Bauer when under attack..." (The Lovely Bride beat him to it by like 7 minutes...)

10:25pm - Paul - "We forgot about bin Ladin..."

10:18pm - Thompson - "Powell Doctrine." Brownback - "I would not go to the United Nations. U.S. Lives vs. America's Image in the World. My standard will be U.S. Lives." Hunter - "SecDef - get the information, and I will take full responsibility." McCain - "I consider 'enhanced interrogation techniques' torture." Then McCain invokes his service record - mildly cheap shot. Gilmore - "I WOULD go to the U.N."

10:14pm - McCain - "We lose more respect on torture..." Giuliani - "I would use every method they could think of (including waterboarding) to find out." Romney - "Prevention so that the attack never comes about. Some have said close Guantanmo - I SAY DOUBLE GITMO!"

10:08pm - Huckabee - "I'll admit and correct my mistakes..." Tancredo - "Global Warming - whether its happening scientists are split... I was for it before I was against it. Chides Ron Paul all over again..."

10:07pm - Giuliani scores in asking Paul to take back his ridiculous comment, McCain gets a stupid question on the confederate flag issue and sets the record straight.

10:03pm - Ron Paul - "They attacked us because we bombed Iraq for 10 years."

9:59pm - Giuliani - "We need a fence, and an i.d. card." (Why the heck are the ID cards now all the rage?) Duncan Hunter jumps in, "I BUILT THE BORDER FENCE, and it dropped the crime rate by 50%. I wrote the bill that the President signed. The administration has built only two miles of the 800 miles of the mandated fence. This border fence is the biggest threat facing our national security."

9:58pm - McCain - "I'm a crazy, angry, weirdo... I can't defend my position so I'll attack Romney."

9:56pm - Romney - People should have no advantage by coming here illegally. "I will tell them to go home." You should not get a "special path." "Get in line with everyone else..." "My fear would be that McCain/Kennedy would do to immigration what McCain/Feingold would do to political speech."

9:55pm - McCain - Speaking in a total echo chamber in his own mind. "The president's plan, is bi-partisan, and the American people expect us to... (pass it)" HOGWASH - the Mexican people want the president's plan to be passed, but the American people would like this Amnesty plan to die a quick death.

9:53pm - Tancredo - "Giuliani, Romney, McCain are truly soft on immigration." Issue of Immigration is one of the most serious problems we face.

9:51pm - Romney: "Cloning debate changed me." Romney looks SOOO credible on his explanation of his conversion on the abortion matter.

9:50pm - Brownback: "Is the life in the womb a person." (What he should have responded with is the percentage of how many abortions actually occur from rape. Less than 1/10 of 1%)

9:48pm - Giuliani - follow-up on Abortion: "You have to respect that people view abortion as moral." (You don't Mayor not if you truly believe that abortion is the taking of a human life... which he says he does.) Huckabee gives a very, very articulate response to Giuliani's lame explanation. "If it's wrong he ought to be opposed to it."

9:46pm - WRONG Governor Thompson - EMBRYONIC stem cells have shown NOOOOOO potential. Placentia/Amniotic cells have more than enough cells to use for research.

9:45pm - Brownback: SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE "Pulling us together, blah, blah, blah..." wake me when he's finished speaking...

9:43pm - Romney on the social issues: (MAN Wallace asks good questions!) OOOOH Romney shoots - he scores: Life, Marriage, Guns, Abstinence, all in one answer!

9:40pm - McCain - Powerhouse critique by Wallace on McCain's biggest weak spots. "Those issues have to do with bi-partisanship." LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "They want us to reach across the aisle..." (uh more so than what is actually RIGHT or WRONG! Nada Senator... swing and a miss!

9:38pm - Giuliani - "Rudy McRomney wouldn't make a bad ticket..." I have to admit that when given the option to rebut the fact that Rudy hit Hillary on the issue of differences in taxes was a vivid - and sharp tactical move. (Wallace catches him and forces him back on the social issues: AND GIULIANI immediately strikes out again.)

9:37pm - Back to Chris Wallace: Jim Gilbore "Rudy McRomney." Then goes naming names...

9:32pm - Angry Tancredo man - trying to be nice just doesn't seem to work for him.

9:31pm - Duncan Hunter - "China and the markets, enforce the trade laws with them." I like this guy - did I mention - good Veep material?

9:29pm - James Gilbore - "let me check my notes... oh yes... I'm a tax-cutter." Plugs his blog...

9:27pm - Ron Paul - "I'd get rid of the Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security..." then right back into the "Isolation is good crapola..." Goler hits him with a follow-up on eliminating the Homeland Security Department during the War on Terror... lame, hysterical response Paul is like a retriever barking at the moon...

9:26pm - Tommy Thompson - "I've issue over 1900 vetoes..." hmmm sounds like - Romney.

9:24pm - Brownback - "Biodiesal, Hybrid cars... he also was against "the surge"... (didn't know that before and his lame explanation of "we need to come together" was less painful than watching paint dry...

9:23pm - Giuliani - "Fiscal conservative in NYC, Washington would be easy by comparison."

9:22pm - Huckabee - "John Edwards at a beauty shop!" Line of the night so far...

9:20pm - McCain "I didn't say I was wrong" on voting against tax reductions. (STUPID!) Good follow up on the drunken sailor joke though. (Drunken Sailors resent being compared to the spend easys in D.C.)

9:19pm - Goler starts his round of questions. Romney: "I WILL NOT RAISE TAXES!" (And the people rejoiced!!!!) "Go through all the agencies, and the departments and cut out the waste. Benchmarks for Washington."

9:12pm - Wouldn't mind seeing Duncan be a Veep Candidate. I loved him at CPAC and he's got that Cheney style of 'kick-butt and take names'.

9:06pm - "Ron Paul are you running for the nomination of the wrong party?"
