Talk about it here. Watch it live on CNN or
cnn.com.
5:46 PM PT: Perry's accusing Romney of lying about having hired undocumented immigrants. Romney finally explains that yes he did hire a company which had hired undocumented immigrants. The crowd is heavily pro-Romney, but I wouldn't take that as being reflective of the GOP overall—Romney has deep ties to Nevada.
5:47 PM PT: The audience laughs at Herman Cain's "joke" about killing illegal immigrants with an electrified fence. When he explains himself, the crowd erupts in applause.
5:50 PM PT: Perry says he's hardcore about wanting to secure the border with Mexico to protect us from Iran. Michele Bachmann says she'll build a double-walled fence, which I guess means a wall on both sides. (Just kidding, she probably means two fences. Right?)
5:51 PM PT: If President Obama ever whines for the debate moderator the way Mitt Romney whined for Anderson Cooper, I will hang my head in shame.
5:53 PM PT: I think Romney is punching Perry too hard—he's elevating Perry. Perry responds by again going after Romney for having hired undocumented immigrants. The crowd boos Perry's attack, but again, this crowd is likely heavily stacked in favor of Romney, who has a real machine behind him in the state.
