6:45 PM PT: I do think Mitt Romneybot is droppin' his gs. Not quite sure that it's a full-on drawl, though. Looks like he has indigestion, though.
6:47 PM PT: Oh Gawd. The crowd literally applauds when Brian Williams mentions how many people Rick Perry has put to death. Rick Perry is proud of his record. He says he's proud of Americans for applauding the execution of 234 criminals.
6:48 PM PT: Herman Cain is back to his 9-9-9 plan. I still have no idea what the hell he's talking about, but it sounds crazier than Michele Bachmann, so she needs to be concerned.
6:51 PM PT: Brian Williams says the debate has run past its ending time, and therefore must end. And he thanks John Harris who was "terrific." And we are all now spared from the clownshow.
