Jake Tapper in the spin room: Make him a moderator next time, ABC!

You can’t have a debate without saying 999 in a debate.

Michele Bachmann • Bringing up the ghost of Herman Cain again, mentioning her new “Win Win Win” plan in the process. Does she think that’s going to bring her back in the polls again? (via shortformblog)

This president is the problem, not something that Newt Gingrich said.

Rick Perry • Putting a nice bow on the ribbon that was the debate over Newt Gingrich’s Palestine comments. To a degree, yes, but considering Israel/Palestine has become such a large issue for conservatives, that’s not entirely true. (via shortformblog)

Rick Perry talking tough about immigration tonight, working very hard to emphasize that he’s not week on this issue.

Tweet of the night, homies.

If I had gotten in the NFL as a kid, I would’ve been a football star all my life, too!

Mitt Romney • Getting a solid comeback on Newt’s rip on him a second ago. (via shortformblog)

How is Mitt Romney from Newt Gingrich? According to Mitt, he would not support a lunar colony, like Newt would. Newt’s response: “The only reason you didn’t become a career politician is because you lost to Teddy Kennedy in 1994.”

This was a brutal response for Romney

First mention of 999 Plan: Michele Bachmann, ten minutes in. She is pitching a new plan called the “Win Win Win” plan. Including “win points.”

The thought that people would just let this country default… I think Speaker Boehner should be complimented for what he did. This country should never default.

Jon Huntsman, standing up and being counted in favor of the debt ceiling “Boehner plan,” and decrying his opponents’ willingness to see a U.S. default. Huntsman has been a little invisible so far tonight, and this helps him stand out from the crowd, though whether this message will play politically is an unsure thing. (via shortformblog)

Huntsman is kind of a silver fox. Just throwing that out there. If I HAD to vote for one of them, I would briefly consider voting for Huntsman before throwing myself off a cliff.

Huntsman is the best general election candidate by a MILE. And that’s precisely why he won’t get the nomination…
