ANOTHER Republican Debate Open Thread

If you’re watching (NBC at 9pm)… this thread’s for you. Here are my thoughts:

Romney’s been talkin’ tough all day. Tonight he has to bring that trash talk to Newt – as he’s been promising to do all day. My first thought was that Newt would take Mitt’s attacks and shove them back down his throat, and then I thought… maybe not. Okay, hear me out. Mitt Romney absolutely stinks at attacks. His delivery is really, really bad. Perhaps Newt plays the “reasonable” guy staring in amazement at the bumbling lunatic.

I am suprised Charlie had to ask the question, but in so doing, he made a glaring admission.

I am gobsmacked. Acorrding to a new poll, Gingrich leads with 34.4% to Romney’s 25.6%. Are Floridians really going to go for Newt? It boggles the mind, especially when you look at this.
