Santorum gets the ethanol subsidy question. Is for phase out of subsidies and tariffs re ethanol.

I missed the beginning of the debate and will have to watch it in rerun. The candidates are doing pretty good in general. Not slamming O'Bama enough. Slamming O'Bama is an absolute no brainer at this point in the primary season and it SHOULD be done as frequently as possible. When the Huckabee Anti-ObamaCare ad is more anti-O'Bama than the candidates, that's a bad sign. These are missed opportunities.

The bring the troops home question goes to Romney. sez that the Afghanies need to be able to protect against the Taliban before we leave. Hmmm.

Sez we shouldn't fight foreign wars of independence.

Paul, of course, is for no wars at all.
Ever.

Pawlenty thanks the serviceman for his service. Brings it back to 9/11. Smackdown of Paul's answer.

Bachman slams the Libya war. Slams O'Bama on Libya.

Gingrich slams the intelligence community re Libya. Sez we need to get out of somewhere. Not sure if he's talking about Libya or other places.

Cain gets the commander in chief question. Throws out his usual point of needing to know the facts before making decisions. Not bad but not specific enough.

Santorum gets a stupid question about reducing the military to reduce the debt. Misses the opportunity to slam entitlements which are the real problem.

Commercial break.

Again, not enough slamming of the current administration. Why? Why? Why? These are HUGE missed opportunities to remind the public of the failure of the O'Bama admin. The first debate featured a lot more slams of O'Bama. This one is seriously light on that kind of thing.

They keep showing Facebook questions up on a big screen and some of the questions are better than the questions the candidates are getting. I don't know why they bother showing these questions if they aren't willing to ask them.

The final segment.

Cain gets a question about polls. Stupid question. Gives a fairly good answer to a stupid question about the field of candidates being weak.

They started the night by slamming bambi.

Pawlenty gets an easy question about the veep pick and does the right thing by attacking Biden. What a terrific question, softball, Biden is wrong on everything.

Romney slams O'Bama again.

Bachman gets a stupid question about who she would pick as veep.

trapeze · « **Reply #35 on:** June 13, 2011, 08:58:26 PM »

Paul doesn't want to pick a veep either.

trapeze · « **Reply #36 on:** June 13, 2011, 08:58:41 PM »

No one should answer that question.

trapeze · « **Reply #37 on:** June 13, 2011, 09:00:10 PM »

Santorum sez good things about the candidates.

Bachman does too.

Gingrich panders to NH.

Romney does too.

Paul sez we all get along.

Pawlenty sez the Boston Bruins rule.

Cain sez it's not about us but about the people.

CNN sure puts on a stupid debate. Dumb questions and stupid format. FNC was way better.

I will need to review this later and look for mistakes that I didn't catch when this was live. I really, really wish that Perry had been there. Next time, I hope.
