GOFFSTOWN, N.H. — Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum quarreled over their credentials to be president and their capacity to defeat President Obama during a debate in which all the candidates squabbled over spending, leadership, national security and military service.

But the debate failed to live up to expectations that Romney’s rivals would use the occasion to blunt his momentum. His opponents criticized him sporadically and to little effect, allowing Romney to glide easily through the nearly two-hour forum. Recent polls show the former Massachusetts governor cruising toward victory in Tuesday’s primary, an outcome that could put him in an even stronger position heading toward South Carolina’s primary Jan. 21.

i wonder how much longer the republicans will attack the virtual nominee, rather than just accept the seemingly inevitable and turn their sights on the prez?
always interesting to see how the same folks who were continuously griping at their opponent suddenly start singing his praises!

FACT CHECK: Miscues with numbers in GOP debates



...now, you'd have to think pols would absolutely make sure they said things correctly. after all, one wouldn't want to give impressions such as being untruthful, inaccurate, or dumb, right?

the whole exercise really is funny. they make up stuff, and then get all defensive when they get called on it. they bash each other, but then suddenly the former opponent/current nominee suddenly becomes the only hope for the future.

Guess the dems are taping all these goodies for playback later when a 'winner' emerges...

Where last night was calm, this morning on Meet The Press at least provided some fireworks.

Although George Stephanopolous getting Romney to defend that people have freedom of privacy under the Constitution regarding their birth control choices was good, as he then tried to ask Romney if he'd give that same freedom to a woman controlling her own health care (abortion rights), and it was hilarious watching Romney backtrack and stammer and get indignant and change the subject faster than a Gingrich caught with his pants down with an intern (now his 3rd wife).

I'll guess Huntsman does well in NH, Mitt okay (they don't like him in NH), Gingrich poorly, Perry and the evil Santorum nothing, and Ron his usual acolytes.

There those libtards go again, always asking 'gotcha' questions...
