9:29 PM: Newt totally ducked the question. But it seemed to work for him. Meanwhile, Mitt’s answer was totally incoherent. Not sure if it will help Newt at this point. But he’s brought his A-game.
9:34 PM: Bachmann is far and away the first to lay a glove on Gingrich.
9:37 PM: Politifact just shot down Bachmann’s claims about what Politifact said. Too bad Politifact is so lame.
9:40 PM: Hearing folks point out that Mitt’s team must really think Newt’s sinking fast because he’s really not going after Newt at all.
9:42 PM: Sheesh. What happened to Rick Perry? Like someone jammed him with an Epi-pin or something.
9:02 PM: Newt starts off with the electability question.
9:04 PM: Newt comes out blazing. I’m not sure the facts are on Newt’s side. But given those facts he’s doing a pretty good job making his argument.
9:13 PM: Apparently Gov. Perry saved all the energy from the first 57 debates and packed it all into that one answer.
9:15 PM: So Gingrich has been teaching the Air Force war-fighting for forever? Well, sort of so.
9:18 PM: Telling juxtaposition between Mitt and Newt. Mitt explaining how he had to learn to get along with Dems of good will to get these done. Newt barrels back in Saul Alinsky Radical Africa Socialist Reagan. I helped Reagan kick ass. Done. I’m Newt and Approved this Ass Kicking Message. Newt Out.
