Raving about how Mittens crushed Newt.
Sure, he may have "out-debated" Newt, but at what cost?
Romney did a lot last night to show more and more what a
stilted, anal retentive, hyper-defensive, unlikable person he is.
So, to me, it was a net loss for MR
Oh Gawd, now Gregory's piling on about how MR "won"
What weak political analysis

to make the other person look bad (to make himself look better). There's no soul or passion there.

(26,060 posts)but the obvious winner in terms of the debate was Santorum. Paul got off some good zingers also. I think the message is that unless Newt wins, Mitt wins.
And in honor of your avatar - GO BLUE!!!!

(42,770 posts)when watching these things. Don't support any of their policies but if you take
that all out of the equation - RS and RP at least come off as honest and true to their
convictions.
Hey, you may know this....going to NYC on 2-8. When do you think the ticker tape
parade would be? Tues or Wed after the SB??

(26,060 posts)all lit in Giant blue. I work right around the corner from there. I just looked it up and the parade after the last superbowl victory (2007/2008 season) was the Friday afterwards (if Wikipedia is correct - they have a list of all ticker tape parades in NY). Starting to feel the energy for the big game but am surprised I haven't seen any sidewalk sellers of tshirts and sweatshirts for the Giants. Maybe next week.
Total agreement about RS and RP - think they're nuts but they're consistenty nuts. Florida will be interesting.

(26,060 posts)it was the Tuesday after the game - can you come a day earlier? That was also Super Tuesday.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)But no date mentioned. Bet it would cost and arm and a leg
to change airline ticket. But, sure would be cool to be
there
Last time the Giants won - it was on the following Tues
Hope you get to see it. Blow Cruz a kiss for me

(26,060 posts)I think it may be a New Jersey person who likes to claim the Giants as a Jersey team. I found this list of all ticker tape parades in NY on Wikipedia, then I just looked at a calendar for 2008.

I do love me some Cruz - he's been awesome since the Jet game.

(27,787 posts)Scabby used to be one of the many right wing pundits who would claim that the Tea Party was a grass roots movement of regular people from all backgrounds, Republicans, Independents, and Democrats all coming together.
Of course that was a gigantic lie. The Tea Party is now what it always was .... the insane, racist right wing base. Scabby knew that, and he lied about it.
Now, the Tea Party monster is running amuck and trying to consume the GOP. Its using Newt to do it. And Scabby is terrified.
