Didn't watch. Had the Raider game on instead. Someone should tell the punt returner that you NEVER field punts from inside the ten yard line. Completely spoiled an incredible Janikowski 57-yard FG from the infield.

:ohno:

I flipped a couple of times from watching Mark Legree knock heads in the Seahawks game.

Pawlenty and Bachman came off as a married couple on their way to divorce. :lol:

Just a great group of folks, really. So many characters. Ron Paul, Hermann Cain, Santorum, Gingrich. What a fucking cast! If there was no football on, I would have watched the whole damn thing. Unintended comedy is my favorite genre.

Nope. Just can't do it. :ohno:

Given MSM history with the GOP debates, I'm SHOCKED they even let Cain on the stage.

:ohno:

It was on Fox News. Are they finally considered part of the MSM as well now?

MSM never allowed Alan Keyes on stage for ANY debates. Prior to Cain, MSM seemed to have an unwritten rule that Black presidential candidates were REQUIRED to be Democratic to get airtime.

:ohno:

Didn't watch a second of it, but saw a Fox News poll this morning that had Paul as the runaway winner.

Dude - you need to really change where you get your news from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Keyes ... l_election" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He WAS in the first Iowa debate, even though he didn't qualify based on the criteria. There are always "perennial" candidates that recieve so little support (like Keyes) that they are excluded from debates, like several last night - per rules:

Rules required eligible candidates to have an average of at least one percent in five non-online national polls by a deadline of 4 p.m. today.

Much to their dismay, some candidates were shut out, including Michigan’s Thaddeus McCotter, who is the most recent to enter the race, and California’s Fred Karger, an openly gay candidate. McCotter’s name will still be on the ballot for the Iowa Straw Poll on Saturday because his campaign paid the $15,000 necessary to participate in the Republican Party of Iowa fundraiser.

Indeed. Wikipedia has become one of the more accurate sources of information.

Voice sounds like nails scraping blackboard. Is the University of Idaho accredited? For that matter, is Idaho State accredited? SMFH. :ohno: :mrgreen:

I heard Bachman waffled when asked "If you are the President, will you be submissive to your husband?" :lol:
