Mitt is crazy. Huckabee isn't bad. Guiliani was funny on immigration, but not great.

Go Huckabee. He is the best chance we have to beat the Bitch.
Posted by: Toad | November 28, 2007 at 09:17 PM
Huck just won the debate by stating unequivically that he believed in the Word of God.
President Huckabee.
Posted by: Grapes | November 28, 2007 at 09:22 PM
Yes, Praise God for Mike Huck!

My money's on Paul.

Huckabee was by far the most impressive candidate tonight.
Posted by: GAida | November 28, 2007 at 10:52 PM
I was a Thompson fan at first and he has not done too poorly but NOW I have definitely converted to Huckabee!! Huckabee is a man who is not ashamed to stand up for his beliefs. The other candidates like Romney and Rudy played dodgeball all night. I personally see very little difference now between Rudy and Hillary. Huckabee really hit a grand slam tonight!!!!!
Posted by: | November 28, 2007 at 11:04 PM
Everyone just jump on the bandwagon now...
Posted by: Too Conservative | November 28, 2007 at 11:35 PM
As you know TC, t was on the Huck bandwagon FROM DAY ONE.
So was Grapes.
Posted by: t | November 28, 2007 at 11:45 PM
Huckabee did great. Rudy bombed (he bot booed for going after Romney too hard on immigration). Mitt stayed average, I guess, but that really doesn't help him with Huckabee nipping at his heels in Iowa. Expect Romney to start pouring even MORE of his personal funds into Iowa in an attempt to simply smother Huckabee with media.
McCain was fine, but he just doesn't have what it takes to win the primary.
Ron Paul is gonna get destroyed in this primary, and we're going to be forced to listen to his internet army whine and moan for months. Ugh.

So Huckabee said he believed in the word of God unequivocally but then went on to equivocate with a joke when asked about God's Fifth Commandment and his unequivocal support of the death penalty.
I did appreciate Huckabee's stand for children of immigrants..that was a refreshing discussion after the unrelenting bashing of immigrants in the first 20 minutes of the debate. Do all of these Republicans who hate immigrants so much read the Bible?
Posted by: Terry | November 29, 2007 at 08:24 AM
I didn't get to see the debate, but I'm happy to hear that everyone seems to think that Huckabee won it!

Terry,
From what I've read about the debate it looks like they were talking about ILLEGAL immigrants, not immigrants in general. I hope that you recognize the difference.
Posted by: A Voter | November 29, 2007 at 08:28 AM
Yes, a voter, and so was Huckabee... Last I checked, the children of illegal immigrants didn't choose to break the law. I'm glad SOMEONE on the Republican side recognizes that....
Posted by: Sam | November 29, 2007 at 08:32 AM
So Sam, does this mean that you might be leaning towards supporting Huckabee as well?
Posted by: A Voter | November 29, 2007 at 08:42 AM
Somebody has to do it
Huckabee is George Bush II
Conservative on Social Issues and Liberal on Fiscal Issues. Running on that all shucks charm.
Giuliani is of course the opposite Liberal on Social and Fiscal Conservative
Romney is the Hillary of the Republicans
McCain is who I support
Thompson is actually putting out some decent proposals but he has no charisma. (Thompson-Huckabee wouldn't be half bad)

I just want to say that Anderson Cooper is a dope, the debate was far too silly and all these primary debates should be in studios so there is no damn BOOING OR CHEERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whew, I feel better!
Posted by: George Templeton | November 29, 2007 at 10:28 AM
I went to the dentist who drilled without novocaine and therefore could not watch it. I suffered far less than if it was reversed.
Posted by: Newport News Dem | November 29, 2007 at 10:53 AM
Gotta agree with the middle man, Huckabee is the second coming...of a man who starts his name with a capital G....So Republicans better hope he doesnt win the primary, or else he will be painted as such, and there is more hate out there for GWB than Hillary.
Posted by: Veritas | November 29, 2007 at 11:28 AM
Well Newport News Dem, I can't blame you there. Does anyone else think that the primary debates should be just held in a studio. I don't think that should be the case with presidential debates.
Posted by: George Templeton | November 29, 2007 at 11:36 AM
George - Maybe we try two models: a studio debate with no peanut gallery and an American Idol-type debate with Simon Crowell critiqing each one and the viewers call in their votes. That would certainly boost viewership.
Posted by: dems4dems | November 29, 2007 at 11:59 AM
None of those guys is worthy of the Presidency. They will not defend the Constitution.
When a religious zealot stands up and says he will take their measure by their oath to his Bible they are duty bound to remind him that they are applying for a job that includes defending our sacred Constitution.
Article.VI. . . . no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Weak, Pandering Pikers all.
Posted by: Bubby | November 29, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Dems4dems that would be interesting, I certainly would watch both.
I also have to ask you and others about a moderator's job.
I think the moderator should not be making little side comments like "ethanol, that's a big issue in Iowa" or NASA "puts a lot of money into this state."
And for God's sake, make sure the candidates answer the actual damn questions and don't let two candidates take seven flippin' minutes to attack one another when you 10 people on stage and ONLY two darn hours for the debate in the first place!!!!!
You can tell candidates would hate me as debate moderator.
Posted by: George Templeton | November 29, 2007 at 12:29 PM
I like McMitthucksoniani!
He blended them all together so well!

What a pack of losers.
Fits the modern GOP to a t, somehow.

Huckabee doesn't believe in evolution, but he does believe that immigration comes from abortion.
This is the guy who is supposed to save the failing Republican party from itself.
What a bunch of pygmies.
Posted by: Elephant Tears | November 29, 2007 at 07:45 PM
Mitt Romney might have the least amount of integrity of any presidential candidate in my memory.
Posted by: brimur | November 30, 2007 at 10:07 AM
Now, I want some of you Dems to take a breather. Think about what you type here, and try to support some of what you say, rather than just making attacks that display your personal bigotry against republicans.
I don't like Joe because of his stance on X, which causes Y- is acceptable.
I don't like Joe because he's a loser - is a reflection of you losing your ability to rationally express yourself and discern the environment around you.
Posted by: A Voter | November 30, 2007 at 12:04 PM
Try and discern this, A Voter.
