Some random live debate blogging. If I feel like it. And if I don't get caught up watching football.

[6:29 CT] Huckabee is really going after Romney personally, which is an interesting tactic. They are all attacking Ron Paul for having the gall to claim that the U.S. foreign policy is at least in part responsible for the reasons that terrorists desire to attack the U.S.

Romney is slimy.

[6:38 CT] Guilianni somehow thinks he is like Ronald Reagan. I don't get it.

[6:43 CT] Ron Paul is pretty awesome. He would be better if he did not have such a racist past.

[6:48 CT] They are now talking about healthcare. I am really waiting for one of them to say, "You know... I do not really care about improving the healthcare system. I care about making sure that large healthcare corporations can make more money."

[6:50 CT] Man this is boring. Really boring. And this is an incredibly lousy group of candidates. We will see how much more of this I can watch...

[7:00 CT] Romney is still slimy. And Romney likes pharmaceutical companies. He admitted it. He also thinks the free market can and will cover anyone. So why isn't that happening now?

[8:04 CT] I got bored... stopped watching most of it. I was struck at how many of the candidates attempted to take on Romney for his changing views. Other than that, it is boring. And more boring. But here was the quote of the debate:

Romney: Don't try and characterize my position...

Huckabee: Which one?

Hehe.

The Democrats are starting now - it should be interesting. And I am not sure I will be writing much about it. But who knows?

[8:58 CT] Nothing too interesting the first hour... other than the fact that John Edwards actually defended Barack Obama against Hillary Clinton's attacks. That was strange.

[8:59 CT] Ummm... the radio host, who just came up to ask questions, just asked Hillary why people like Obama more than her. Hehehe.

Hillary's response? To try and compare people like Obama to people liking President Bush. Huh?

[9:41 CT] Well that was fun. Kinda'.

And just for the record... I am pretty sure that there are not many professor couples in New Hampshire making $200,000 combined...
