9:02 PM: That was such a bad answer for Romney. Basically, Heck, I’m not going to release them now because then Obama’s going to totally go town on me.

9:04 PM: God, when did John King become an Aztec priest doing human ritual sacrifice. Live on TV.

9:05 PM: I feel like I need to read the transcript of what Mitt just said about his taxes but I think I’m going to need to get stoned first.

9:27 PM: I’m sort of amazed how on Gingrich has been in this debate. He’s made Romney look like a bystander. Except in the portion where Romney dominated the stage with his epic tax return release meltdown.

Here’s video of Newt’s opening fusillade which I think probably won him the debate. Worth watching it again.

8:54 PM: I gotta say Newt is more on his game tonight than maybe I’ve ever seen him. Undeniable. And then after I say that, Santorum comes out of an amazing retort. I mean, house banking scandal? Haven’t heard about that in like 20 years. They’re both on fire. Romney’s like a bystander.

8:57 PM: Did Mitt just have a Rick Perry moment there?
