Two New Hampshire Republican Debates tonight and tomorrow morning

[Riot]

Two, yes, two more Republican debates, within 12 hours of each other, before the first primary of the season Tuesday in New Hampshire:

Will Newt aggressively attack Romney as he promised?
Will somebody google Santorum?
Will Rick Perry be able to save his campaign for North Carolina?
Will Santorum be allowed to stand next to Romney, as the current hot "non-Romney"?
What will the audience boo this time: active duty soldiers?
What will the audience cheer this time: people dying without insurance?\
What will be the drinking game word?

Tonight at 9:00 pm eastern on ABC-TV.

Tomorrow morning at 9:00 am eastern on NBC-TV Meet the Press (an internet feed debate among all the candidates, David Gregory moderating)

They still won't let Buddy Romer into the debates. They are letting Huntsman in this one.

I dunno. I guess we'll go out to see Dragon Tattoo Santorum has made so many verbal missteps in the past couple of days, his candidacy may be over by tomorrow morning. Maybe Rick Perry will get another chance in North Carolina to be the non-Romney.

Pro-Gingrich super PAC to air anti-Romney video

Film says GOP front-runner's former investment firm put thousands of Americans out of work

The pro-Gingrich super PAC’s plans to air excerpts from the 27-minute movie in South Carolina represents a major escalation in the war of rival super PACs that is shaping the GOP race.

The slickly made movie focuses on Romney’s years as the chief officer of Bain Capital, featuring interviews with workers who allegedly lost their jobs — and had their homes foreclosed — as a result of the firm’s corporate buyouts.

“Then we have this company that comes in and destroys everything that we ever worked for,” says one woman talking about Bain Capital’s closure of plants run by American Pad & Paper Company in Florida. “He took away our livelihoods. He took away our future.”

Interspersed are shots of Romney saying “corporations are people, my friend,” a photo of Romney’s “$12 million California beach house” and a photo of a smiling Romney in a business suit having his shoes polished on an airplane runway.

In a sense, the hard-hitting ad is political payback. Gingrich saw his support in Iowa cut in half — from a front-running 26 percent in early December to a disappointing fourth-place finish with 13 percent in this week’s caucuses — after a three-week ad blitz by a pro-Romney super PAC that attacked him for ethics violations and political flip-flops.

The movie was made by Jason Killian Meath, a former associate in the firm of Stu Stevens, Romney’s longtime chief ad man. Meath worked on ads for Romney’s campaign in 2008. (Meith did not respond to a request for email comment Saturday.)

As first reported Friday night by Peter Boyer of The Daily Beast, the movie was commissioned by Barry Bennett, a conservative activist who heads Alliance for America’s Future, a group whose principals include Mary Cheney, a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and which does not disclose its donors.

Etc., etc.

GOFFSTOWN, N.H. — Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum quarreled over their credentials to be president and their capacity to defeat President Obama during a debate in which all the candidates squabbled over spending, leadership, national security and military service.

But the debate failed to live up to expectations that Romney’s rivals would use the occasion to blunt his momentum. His opponents criticized him sporadically and to little effect, allowing Romney to glide easily through the nearly two-hour forum. Recent polls show the former Massachusetts governor cruising toward victory in Tuesday’s primary, an outcome that could put him in an even stronger position heading toward South Carolina’s primary Jan. 21.

i wonder how much longer the republicans will attack the virtual nominee, rather than just accept the seemingly inevitable and turn their sights on the prez?
always interesting to see how the same folks who were continuously griping at their opponent suddenly start singing his praises!

...now, you'd have to think pols would absolutely make sure they said things correctly. after all, one wouldn't want to give impressions such as being untruthful, inaccurate, or dumb, right?

the whole exercise really is funny. they make up stuff, and then get all defensive when they get called on it. they bash each other, but then suddenly the former opponent/current nominee suddenly becomes the only hope for the future.

Guess the dems are taping all these goodies for playback later when a 'winner' emerges...

Where last night was calm, this morning on Meet The Press at least provided some fireworks.

Although George Stephanopolous getting Romney to defend that people have freedom of privacy under the Constitution regarding their birth control choices was good, as he then tried to ask Romney if he'd give that same freedom to a woman controlling her own health care (abortion rights), and it was hilarious watching Romney backtrack and stammer and get indignant and change the subject faster than a Gingrich caught with his pants down with an intern (now his 3rd wife).

I'll guess Huntsman does well in NH, Mitt okay (they don't like him in NH), Gingrich poorly, Perry and the evil Santorum nothing, and Ron his usual acolytes.
