Objective review of Republican candidates for President

[DavidW]

Mitt's taken to wearing jeans. Sure, that's authentic.

Trying to offset the whole profit is from capital gains and not wages thing I'm sure...

[Karl Henning]

Now he's one of us! 

Dude, didja see the guitar pick in his right hand?

[Todd]

Mitt's taken to wearing jeans. Sure, that's authentic.

I think he looks sharp in his Roberto Cavallis.

And we here in Massachusetts are going, He's the guy who tried running against Ted Kennedy — how can you even hope for that, if you aren't richer than the Danish monarchy?

[Karl Henning]

I think he looks sharp in his Roberto Cavallis.

Bet you $10,000 he's wearing Diesels!

[Todd]

Bet you $10,000 he's wearing Diesels!

Pfft, that's fancy only to the hoi polloi.

[Karl Henning]

I like being able to fire my wardrobe consultant.

[Wendell_E]

Mitt's taken to wearing jeans. Sure, that's authentic.

It's not authentic when they're ironed.

[Karl Henning]

Evidence suggests Gingrich lobbied in all but name.

Now there's a bulletin!

Newt in Wonderland

[Karl Henning]

It's not authentic when they're ironed.

Not even Mitt would iron his jeans!

And if someone on the staff did: he's fired!

[jowcol]

Pfft, that's fancy only to the hoi polloi.

Ahhh.. It's been too long since I've heard a Pffft.  I've been going through withdrawal...

[Karl Henning]

That was choice timing!

[Karl Henning]

The most inflationary, dangerous and power-centered chairman of the Fed in the history of the Fed.  That it is Newt Gingrich saying this of Bernanke, makes it even more entertaining.

"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love."
— Mitt Romney in stump speech

[Karl Henning]

Really? I should set that as a choral anthem . . . .

[DavidW]

"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love."
— Mitt Romney in stump speech

It sounds like he's channeling Rick Perry!

[Lethevich]

Really? I should set that as a choral anthem . . . .

One designated to be repeated until the end of time...

[ibanezmonster]

Ohh, fractal speeches! Politics are getting interesting now. 

[Karl Henning]

Turning the crowd against a moderator has become Gingrich's signature move — used to perfection in two debates in South Carolina last week. Asked about his comments about food stamps and his second marriage, Gingrich deflected by attacking the premise of the questions.

Why Newt Needs Noisy Crowds

That Gingrich went out of his way to disagree makes me wonder how commentators and politicians keep claiming Gingrich is some kind of "intellectual." He denigrated the notion that debates should be serious contests in which ideas can stand — or fall — on their own. Which is about as anti-intellectual as you can get.

In CNN Republican debate tonight, the moderators should tell the audience to shut up

Why Newt Needs Noisy Crowds

Don't demagogues always love rousing the rabble? 

That's not to say that Captain Moonbase is a demagogue, or anything . . .
