Once more unto the breach dear sockpuppets! And don't forget the chips. Tonight, CNN, 8 PM EST.
And tonight's pre-debate question: what question would you ask each candidate if you were the moderator?

So now Newt panders after being accused of pandering. What a fool.
To know, yes. Not to pander. Big difference. Blah blah blah, Newt.
What in God's name is happening? Romney is showing vigor and emotion in his answers, Gingrich is stuttering and stumbling, Santorum and Paul are giving mostly spot-on answers....what is going on? Did I really tunnel through to an alternate universe?
Ron Paul BLASTS Newt! BAM!!!
Newt, we all know you only balanced the budget to score political points against Clinton. If you could've done the same by not balancing, you would have.
Take Newt out tonight, guys!
Ron Paul is 100% right on that.
Newt "under the system that was use" -- technicality.
T-Rav, I'm still expecting the media to praise Newt's "glorious" performance in the morning.
Not Having a Filter: Don't believe the hype.
I have to say Ron Paul and Santorum have kicked their collective butts!
BANG!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, even Ricky is going down on Newt.
BANG BANG!
BANG BANG!
tryanmax, I don't think so. Even a lot of the blogs which have been pushing Perry and then Newt are saying Romney is killing it tonight.
Wait? What did I say? I meant "going off"
Talk about a Freudian slip.
tryanmax,BAD image. BAD.
If tonight accurately reflected Romney, Paul and Santorum, I would be THRILLED by this election!
I suspect the universe is jerking me around.
Andrew, speak to me! Are you all right?!
"going down" wow, nice slip!
I don't think so, Romney has lost the focus of running against what we have now in Washington.
I don't know about you guys, but between Andrew and tryanmax, I'm about to die laughing over here.
T-Rav, I think I was just tripping. It's the lead paint I was drinking. I thought Santorum was making sense.
funny how typing can be as automatic as talking.
They all make sense when compared to Barack Hussein Obama!
Romney drifting toward CommentaramaCare!!!!
DC, My dog makes sense compared to Obama.
Barack....bad news. Our strategy of turning them against each other isn't working anymore.
Romney is on fire tonight!
YES! Individualized insurance. Is it my birthday?
SCORE!!!!
Obama goes down in flames.
My kittens make sense compared to Obama, and they don't even know what health care is!
Awe, Rick spoils my buzz.
KittenCare is still better than ObamaCare
Nice bitter tone too. Whoops.
Rick you finally realized that you have nothing to lose! Wow, impressive. Most impressive.
Eh, Santorum's still doing good. Let's be clear, RomneyCare still isn't anything to write home about.
If you go to dirtyliesyoucanuse.net, you'll see my answer.
Newt: "You lumped me with Romney unfairly. I support all the same things he does."
And if you got to hotchinesegirl.com you'll see lobbying done right.
Why did it have to be Santorum to touch the heart of this matter?
Right ON!
Whatever you think of RomneyCare, it still does not follow that Romney will support it at the national level.
If Ricky weren't a 100% flip flopper, this could be a good point. BUT he's flip flopped on everything he's ever said. I'll bet he even returns food he orders just because.
tryanmax, That's true, but that doesn't get votes.
Sorry Mitt, there's no answer for you that will make this go away. You sided against civil liberties.
I know, I know. It just aggravates me.
Forced into a contract by govt IS worth fighting about!
Santorum's tone didn't come across well, but he still scorched Romney on this.
Finally! He talks about the differences between RomneyCare and ObamaCare. He shoulda done this months ago.
Go Paul!
BTW...the president doesn't have the power to repeal.
Go Paul!
Hispanic Leadership Network?
This has undoubtedly been one of the weirdest debates I can remember.
Marco Rubio.
They will all say that.
Yay, Rubio! But I hate the question.
Marco Rubio, Susanna Martinez, a couple others I can't remember....
Newt: I want Rubio as VP.
Telemundo!
Romney has a heck of a list here. Good names!
stop with the name dropping. LAME.
Univision. Sie!
It's a good list, but I prefer Paul's answer...hispanic or otherwise.
I want to teach Hispanics about the evils of paper money and war.
I like the beginning of Paul's answer, but then it turned weird.
My litmus test would be Hispanic politicians who want to end war and end the Fed!
Tam, You're right, but I think it was a good thing to show that they knew political Hispanics.
The next question is total crap.
I suppose, but it felt like ass kissing to me, and I don't like it. Personal opinion. Am I still allowed one under Obamacare?
We're coming to get you, Ron!
Hey, I live there!
That was Pikes Peak. :)
I have been pandered to by Cadillac.
I'm just glad they could come up with names beside Rubio's.
That's not a pander. THIS is a pander.
Arg. Do we want to cover the Florida primary on Tuesday?
Hey, that's the commercial where Kirk's priceline guy dies! I haven't seen it. Cool.
Ron Paul: ¡Oro!
(I had to look it up.)
Oro? Don't you mean OrEo?
Ummmmm....I'm gonna need a bigger bottle.
B-E-E-R?
Wait, how did the Priceline guy die?
Why would my wife make a great first lady? Because she's good in the sack....
Whoa, did I say that out loud?
Yes, Ron Paul has his own cookbooks.
Fiery bush crash off a cliff.
shoot bush = bus
I want someone to say that their wife can take Michelle in a fist fight.
Andrew, are you saying she's good at winning sack races? ;-)
I thought he was talking about all three of his wives at first.
T-Rav... uh, yes. Something like that.
I want to see Michelle Obama and Callista Gingrich in a mud-wrestling match. Is that weird?
T-Rav, a little. But I'd be there.
...to lend you moral support, that is.
I don't know how to praise my wife.
Santorum: I have a wife. I do. Really.
This is where we need Bill Clinton:
"My wife is fine, let me tell you about my girlfriends..."
tryanmax, I don't think I want your "moral support."
Any fist lady will be better than the big mouthed, badly overdressed, spends money like water, vacations too much and please get your ugly hands off my food, Michele Obama!
Kids suck!
(Wait, I actually agree with that.)
T-Rav, Fine, go ahead and be weird by yourself.
Everyone carefully watch Newt's facial tics for this question.
I'll have french fries with that!
None of these guys should claim the Reagan mantle and anyone who does is a jerk.
This is not a good answer. It's dull and confused.
And Newt goes conspiratorial.
tryanmax, don't act like this is my fault. I know what you Nebraskans do with those corncobs.
There have been a LOT of eye opening articles about Newt's attacks on Reagan.
boring...
Romney is evil and trying to destroy me!
Um, Mr. Speaker, I was asking you what you thought of the Jacksonville scenery.
you guys should be destroying BHO not each other...
Did you have to be Hispanic to get into this debate?
Chavez is NOT a puppet... he's a muppet.
Wow! He looks about as Hispanic as bratwurst.
no, just to get into Florida.
I don't know if Chavez is Cuba's puppet, but whatever....
Rick gets angry a lot doesn't he?
Wait, I thought the Castro government was something the Cuban people had chosen for themselves or something?
T-Rav, He is. I have an article on it.
Read it, learn it, live it:
Andrew's Brilliant Ahead-of-the-Times Article
Good for Romney. Keep in on Obama.
Also, don't diss our attempts to overthrow Commie dictators, OBAMA.
We should not support the world's worst actors... Sean Penn, that guy from Hot Tub Time Machine, etc.
A Cuban spring. Nice. First thing I liked from Gingrich tonight.
I can't read stories in the middle of a debate! Okay fine, I agree they're like this, but with Fidel Castro out of office and Venezuela having a crap-ton of oil, Chavez may be the one pulling the strings now.
Hey, he's an Arab! How did he get in here?
Palestine doesn't exist.
T-Rav, Nope. Read the article later, it's stunning. Venezuela has been conquered.
BANG!!!!!
Sorry, I meant: "Unpandering..."
This guy looks pissed.
Ok, I agree with that from Newt.
Man, you guys suck.
Newt's first day had better be 400 hours long with everything he's going to do.
Thank God they didn't go to Paul for that one.
Puerto Rico needs to be cut lose.
NO IT'S SHOULD NEVER BECOME A STATE -- IT NEEDS TO BE CUT LOOSE!!
Wait, what? You were expecting a territorial governor no one's even heard of to be mentioned as a VP pick? Whhaaaa???
I didn't think Puerto Rico wanted to be a state.
Puerto Rico is an ungrateful ward of the federal government.
Why would Puerto Ricans want to become a state, anyway? They don't have to pay income taxes.
tryanmax, I don't care what they want. They're over 18. It's time they go make it on their own.
They are also ALL Democrats.
neutral then...
Not that I have anything against Puerto Rico, mind you. I just don't get it.
Um, obviously I was directing that to the Mormon, not you.
Hey! Somebody let a white person in! How did that happen?
well I'm not for killing your unborn children and sucking them down a drain...
What is she wanting to hear?
"God speaks to me through my dog. I will ask me dog advice."
God speaks to me through my dog, I will ask my dog for advice.
for ourselves and our posterity..oh wait there is no posterity in Roe v Wade.
Andrew, this is what she wants to hear:
"If I am elected President, I will renounce Mormonism and become a Southern Baptist." I promise you those are the exact words she wants to hear.
Honestly, this kind of question ticks me off. People's relationship to God is a PERSONAL relationship. This is the same thing as asking them to cry.
T-Rav, Probably true.
Go Rick!
Don't you want your candidate to cry?
rights given by their Creator!
That is probably the best possible way Santorum could have handled the question.
The final debate question?
If you could chop down a tree, what kind of tree would it be?
and yes, Wolfie you have the right to be an athiest!
uh....cherry?
I think Ricky ran off to pee.
T-Rav, Agreed. His tone his still a little strident, but he didn't go insane on the question... surprisingly.
or black walnut?
This debate has left me so confused.
ok..I'll be your shrink TRav.
The ones they make paper money out of!!!
So far, I grade things this way:
1. Romney
2. Santorum
3. Paul
4. Newt
5. Wolf
Wanna bet tomorrow's articles are Newtgasms?
T-Rav, Some confusion is normal when you shoot up on Debate. It wears off in the morning.
I just don't understand the world any more. All my assumptions have been shattered.
Ker-plunk.
I can beat Obama because I'm not Obama.
Andrew, I don't think so. Romney made Newt look like a child, and everyone knew it. The only one who managed to really rattle Mitt was Santorum.
I can beat Obama because I have a working brain.
"dramatic, fundamental, extraordinary change"... I like the sound of that.
T-Rav, I agree with you... so it will be interesting to see how cynical/delusional the analysts are.
I can beat Obama because I once met Ronald Reagan.
sadly, i think Santorum took this one.
I don't care about your grandchildren. What have they ever done for me?
There goes Newt, running on the past that we are meant to ignore, again.
Oh thank God! He mentioned Saul Alynsky. I'm sold.
Sure Rick, except your record is 100% different than everything you've said tonight.
Is Rick seriously saying that he is most electable because he and Obama share the same views?
Rick clearly has never met a union employee. The Reagan Democrats are now Republicans. What's left is nothing like the Reagan Democrats.
Allahpundit on Twitter: "Newt will destroy Obama in a debate, unless he has an off-night, which he's had on most debate nights, actually"
Thank you all for making this palatable!
could someone tell me - in another post perhaps- why I can't see all the comments. I only get one page worth
Well, it's over. I think maybe I'll go write "Romney 2012" on my Facebook wall, and then go swallow a bottle of barbituates. I haven't really decided yet.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the Bad Tie Contest!
In an unexpected turn of events, Ron Paul went tie shopping and wore something that wasn't weird or ugly. As such, he's out of the running. In fact, all of the candidates showed fairly good taste in their tie selections.
Fortunately, there was an Arab guy shown asking questions about Palestine. And he had a terrible tie. He wins.
Runner up - The CNN reporter in Cuba was wearing some ghastly pink thing on his neck. It was either a fish or a tie.
Honorable Mention - Newt Gingrich for wearing a tie that clashes with itself. Yikes!
DC, it was...something. I don't know if "palatable" is the right word.
tryanmax, What about the ties?
Dick Morris thinks Romney crushed Newt and Newt did poorly.
Andrew, this is two debates in a row that you ask about the ties after I post the tie results. LOL!
hry trav it's got to go down before it can come up...
Yay, the Bad Tie Contest! You should do like a Top 3 next time.
I'd do a top three, but it is a known fact of science and the universe that there is no such thing as a "good" tie.
DC, oh it's gonna come back up pretty fast. :-/
tryanmax, The bad tie contest has become the highlight!
