February 22, 2012 8pm ET on CNN – Live Stream
Location: Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, Arizona
Sponsor: CNN and the Republican Party of Arizona
Participants: Romney, Santorum, Paul, Gingrich

This may be the last debate as the ones on Mar. 1 and 5 have been cancelled. There is one more scheduled on Mar. 19 but there is already speculation that Romney will pull out and it will fizzle.

Should be a good one, the top 2 need a win.

Santorum, Romney at center of table in first GOP presidential debate in a month


http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/



<..> "The stakes are enormous, not just because there's been no debate for a month, but also because no more are scheduled before Super Tuesday," CNN's Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley said. "For Gingrich, Paul, Santorum and Romney, this may be the last chance to make another impression."

Santorum, once a long shot, currently tops national polling and is neck-and-neck with Romney in the latest surveys in Arizona and Michigan.

"There's not much room for error at the top of a pyramid," said Crowley, host of CNN's "State of the Union." "This will be Santorum's first time ever center stage, where the frontrunner stands and gets pummeled."

<..> "This is the first CNN debate where we've used a table," Feist said. "We decided to make this debate more intimate."

Yep, and it'll be real cozy sitting at the table together. They could reach over and slap their opponent upside the head and never miss a beat.

I'm looking for Santorum to try to side step the satan stuff tonight and want to focus on what he calls policy.

Is God going to send down lightning bolts tonight? I'll watch!

watching these four bigoted, arrogant, hateful men lie and spew shit just to pander to the crazies is making my stomach sick. But, sometimes you gotta take one for the team in order to win

Please take one for the team. Have at it. But only report back the highly censored version, please! Some of us have weak stomachs.

I couldn't take it! After watching them sit there and lie and lie I had to turn the channel.

Will do!

I don't know how much more I can take of this.l.

There are so many lies I can't keep up with them all. What makes it even harder to listen to is there is no rebuttal from our side to dispute these stupid idiots.

Why does Ron Paul sound like Walter Brennan to me?



OMG, they live in a alternate universe.

[Blue_Roses]

thank gawd. That was horrible. To sum up:

--Get rid of public education
--Go to war with Iran before they bomb, bomb, bomb...
--Santorum was for NCLB before he was against it.
--Romney was the perfect conservative governor
--Newt still knows it all
--Ron Paul continues to want his own government

Nothing to see here just more of the same.

Oh, and I almost forgot: Obama bad, bad, bad for Americans.

Quote:Rick Santorum is having a hard time tonight explaining his stance on contraception because he has made numerous statements that appear to be in conflict.

Did he clear it up tonight? Not really. "I have a personal moral objection" to contraception, he said, "but I've voted for bills that included it too."

This drew a big boo from the audience.

What the hell? This is a so-called presidential debate where the audience is booing contraception? I'm not surprised, but this has really crossed over into the realm of the surreal. Bizarre.
