8:43 PM: Can we elect the disembodied head of Ronald Reagan as President? #PresidentHeadroom #bad80sreferences
Late Update: TPM Reader BS correctly fails me on this ’80s reference. I’d forgotten that in fact Garry Trudeau already made the Ronald Reagan-Max Headroom connection, morphing them into the Doonesbury character Ron Headrest.
8:46 PM: Herman Cain is going to make me pay more for beer?
8:48 PM: Charlie Rose: “We know about China. We know about India.” Yes, yes we do.
8:50 PM: Mitt a hawk on China?
8:52 PM: Perry’s plan for economic recovery: Drill, baby, drill.
8:54 PM: Rick Santorum outhawks Mitt: “I want to go to war with China.” He seemed to be referring to an economic war, not a military one. But still.
8:56 PM: Barney Frank slams Newt over threat to put him in jail.
8:21 PM: That first foray into the economic crisis was about as shallow and ineffectual a discussion of how to achieve economic recovery as I’ve seen so far in this campaign. But they’ve already moved on to … prostate cancer exams. Really.
8:24 PM: Hard to believe Democrats are training their oppo research sights on Herman Cain. But Cain’s polling too well to ignore him any longer.
8:29 PM: Here goes Mitt being reasonable again. He’s not willing to say the financial bailout was a catastrophic mistake that ended America as we know it.
8:30 PM: Waiting for Mitt to get in some jabs at the surging Cain. Nothing yet.
8:31 PM: Newt: I’d jail Greece, too.
8:33 PM: While they take a break, a Ron Paul retrospective.
