Talk about it here. Watch it live on NBC, MSNBC, or
Daily Kos.
7:33 PM PT: I think Newt Gingrich just claimed partial credit for developing supply-side economics. Dude, think big. Take all the credit. We're happy to give it to you.
7:35 PM PT: Rick Santorum decides he might as well start attacking Mitt and Newt, and he starts howling about cap and trade and mandates.
7:37 PM PT:
I think that's probably the best answer Santorum has ever given in a debate.

Too bad for him it comes after the winnowing. He's not relevant unless both Newt and Mitt collapse.
7:38 PM PT: Romney brags about making Ted Kennedy take out a mortgage on his house to pay for the 1994 campaign. Weird thing to get your jollies over.
7:39 PM PT:
What did Mitt Romney do for conservatives? He made Ted Kennedy take out a mortgage on his house. Booyah, everybody.

7:41 PM PT:
Wow, Mitt made a guy mortgage his house. He really "gets" the little people, doesn't he?

7:41 PM PT: And just like that, the debate, mercifully is over.
7:42 PM PT: So, who won? Well, whoever is hosting the debate on Thursday night definitely won.
7:43 PM PT: Ah, it's CNN—Thursday night at 8PM ET, in Jacksonville.
7:44 PM PT:
7:47 PM PT: The highlight reel replay of the Newt-Mitt skirmish isn't kind to Newt. I don't think it's automatically a win for Mitt, but if he can figure out a way to get the crowd on his side during Thursday's debate, he could change the dynamic, and he may have planted a small seed to that end tonight.
