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?
Here’s video of Newt’s opening fusillade which I think probably won him the debate. Worth watching it again.
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.
I think Newt Gingrich did very well tonight. I think he knows it. He’s right. I’ve heard a number of people say that Rick Santorum had a really strong debate too and even that he ‘won’ the debate. Indeed, Santorum was basically more on his game than I think I’ve ever heard him. He had a really good debate. I think Newt did better. But here’s the key: Gingrich is in a position to capitalize in a big way on a strong debate performance. I don’t think Santorum is. So it all comes down to a very strong performance by Newt — one I think will likely clinch a win for him on Saturday night, notwithstanding the tell-all interview coming later tonight. Read More
I didn’t know tonight would end with me watching video of President Obama singing Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’. But it did. Watch here.
Scientists stumble across monkeys in Indonesia long thought to be extinct and manage to capture rare photos of them.
Wow, fresh off President Obama’s performance last night of Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together, a follower on Twitter sends me this earlier bootleg of President Obama singing Aretha Franklin. No really. After the jump … Read More
