I don't want to get into the politics of their positions, but if you
watched the GOP debate/discussion yesterday, what did you think of the
candidates as performers?

I thought Guiliani and Romney did the best sales job in terms of their
grasp of issues and hard-driving presentation, but I liked Mike Huckabee
the best. He seems the most sincere and decent. Fred Thompson looked
old, unprepared, out of place, even though he told a couple of cute
jokes. McCain is trying too hard and it shows. The rest of the crew
should drop out now.

I don't consider it a "performance", but I agree with you regarding Mike
Huckabee.
I wish he would get some more national attention.

I missed it. Which stance did Romney take on reproductive rights? He's got
several, depending on who's asking or paying attention.

I dunno. I didn't pay much attention to their "positions," per se, but,
rather, how they performed. Bill Maher said Thompson looked "tan,
rested, and in remission." :}

I'll second that although I only listened to it - I didn't see it
live.

Agree with Eisboch's comment. Obama should give Huckabee his donation
money. Huckabee could put it to some good use. McCain should do the same
thing.

Agree about Huckabee. If he could only change his last name. 8)

The difference is much too subtle for you.

No. Anything you disagree with, or forces you to think, you consider out of
bounds. If you knew anything at all about Romney, you'd know he's a
chameleon. He'll say whatever his audience hopes for with regard to certain
subjects. He's stated so many different things with regard to reproductive
choice that his critics call him Mr. Multiple Choice. And, he criticizes
universal health care by calling it a socialist idea, even though Clinton's
suggestions are very similar to the one Romney himself promoted in
Massachusetts.

You should expand your universe of news sources to include some that are
intended for adults who give a damn about this country.

He *did* radically change his physical image. Lost a ton of weight.

...like I said.

You'll probably choose your candidate in the same way as a 20 year old girl
interviewed on NPR just after the last election. She voted for Bush because
she thought he had cute ears.
