I thought the same thing. No wonder. And these debates must be getting old by this time. There've been quite a few.

It's still so early. Too early to predict who the winner will be, but not who the loser will be.

Most of them looked really tired - particularly the Democrats. John Edwards was the most "alive" of the bunch as far as the Dems go. I thought JE came across really well tonight. For what that's worth.

That's the problem, IMHO, with starting the campaigning too early...it wears on everyone.

They should start the summer before the elections...that's more than enough time to get your views out there.

Just my tired thoughts and now I'm off to wonderland...

One can only hope the trend is the same as it has been since 1952. The canditate who wins New Hampshire moves into Pennsylvania Ave.

Hillary can be a has been and "Who is Huckabee?" will be established. The canditates will give 3 second soundbites and most of the majority of Americans hypnotized by Hollywood Talking Heads will never think past what hey heard in the last 10 seconds.

I do miss Manchester this week.

Giulani is capable, intelligent and persuasive.

Mitt Romney is very good looking and "presidential" looking too. Well, you know -- it is TV after all. LOL. He does have some good things to say, which is probably partly why he is where he is tonight.

McCain and Thompson have been mostly quiet except to address the questions presented by Charlie Griffin, the host. Perhaps Thompson simply can't talk quickly enough to keep up with the fray?

Ron Paul? Seems to be struggling a bit and not taken real serious by some of the other candidates.

Of course it's still VERY early on. Just a few thoughts by from a Canadian looker-on.

Huckabee....raised TAXES the most in Arkansas...more than Clinton!!!!!!! I don't care for Huckabee.

Yes, but he did congradulate Canada on their National Igloo!

The man was given a state in disarray and a mandate and he botched it.

Sorry you lost me when you stated support for Guilani. That guy is such a snake and I can discern his odor.

Ron Paul is clearly out for the people's best interest and did ok with 10 percent of the vote....at least he beat Guilani

You could go for John E. and his 400 dollar haircuts or Hillary's secret agenda with gun control or Obama's secret agenda of getting elected as the first closet Muslim.

Sigh. I wish Ron Paul would win. He is a doctor who is pro-life and is a former flight surgeon in the military. He has alot of political experience and wants to bring our boy/girls home and stop this war that we CAN NOT afford. He said it so perfectly "our bridges are falling down and we are spending money we don't have to destroy bridges in other countries."

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Just to let you know.......

SOCAL - thats not good enough. The last three presidents raised taxes.

Is there another reason you don't like him?

I find it interesting that both Obama and Romney are not given any grief over their grandfather's five wives. One Muslim and one Mormon.
