Debate: Mitt Flattens Newt
From my Florida GOP debate notebook … One-word review: Mitt rises; Newt crashes; Rick steady; Ron amusing • Call it Mitt’s Lunar Eclipse – blasting Gingrich Moonbase idea could be tonight’s winning moment • Newt shrinking? That giant sucking sound is the GOP conservative vacuum opening up again • Newt so flustered tonight he forgot to say, “Massachusetts moderate” • Been feeling kinda creepy ever since Santorum said “dilly-dally” • Thank heavens nobody can run Ron Paul out this race. Only one who doesn’t need a laugh track • Here we go, the Who-Can-Kill-Castro-First segment • Callista Gingrich must be a European socialist, she plays French horn • Rick, if the wife is back home, why can’t she print out your tax return? • Did Newt just praise all three of HIS wives, or his rivals’ wives? • Wow Ron, Your wife is “the mother of five of our children” — there are others? • Mitt: Some of my best lawn workers are Hispanic • Mitt says health care “not worth getting angry about.” So, you uninsured folks just get over it • Don’t look so confused Rick. Mitt is just speaking French again • Ever get the feeling Newt is just running to promote his web sites? Next up, his eHarmony profile • Weirdest line of the night: Wolf said, “I look forward to seeing your medical records.” • Now it’s medical records to be released. What about Cable TV bills? • GOP debaters agree: Lower Romney’s Taxes • Guess Mitt also keeps his TV ads in a blind trust • Are blind trustees covered by Romneycare? • Newt and Mitt tonight: Beavis or Butt-Head, take your pick • Sad state of affairs for GOP when Santorum becomes the adult in the room • If we can’t cut federal spending let’s at least slow the alarming rise of lame jokes about Ron Paul’s suit • Grandmother debate trumped Santorum playing Mom card. Third-placers just can’t catch a break • Still stuck on Mitt slamming coyotes. They have grandmothers too • Mitt would put coyotes on the Moon. But would they howl at Earth? • Did Newt just accuse Mitt of kicking grandmothers? It’s getting ugly • Mitt soft on our national grandmother crisis • Newt gets bitch slapped, then hands Mitt the other glove for another round • Newt opposes self-deportation, favors self-medication • Thanks Rick, now go home and finish your tax return • Least (if ever) mentioned word tonight: JOBS • Poor Newt didn’t even make it to one-week wonder. South Carolina just 5 days ago • Mitt can change chairs in Washington, he sells them at Staples • Newt never recovered from Mitt “firing” him for goofy moon colony plan
