Talk about it here. Watch it live on NBC, MSNBC, or
Daily Kos.
6:18 PM PT: Ron Paul gives a long and rambling answer. Says he doesn't want to run as a third party candidate, but who knows?
6:21 PM PT: So Mitt Romney released 23 years of tax returns to John McCain as part of McCain's VP selection process, and says the means he was vetted? Uh, dude, McCain picked SARAH PALIN.
6:23 PM PT: Mitt Romney is trying to complain about how Newt Gingrich's tax plan would mean he would pay a 0% tax rate.
6:25 PM PT: Is it just me or is Brian Williams dull as dirt? This should be an epic debate. Instead, it feels like we're watching the middle rounds of a ho-hum golf tournament rebroadcast on the Golf Channel.
6:26 PM PT: Rick Santorum assures us he's a capitalist. Also, he's not a frothy mix.
6:26 PM PT: Who ARE those guys sitting behind Brian Williams?
6:30 PM PT: Romney finally gets Newt Gingrich to show a flash of anger, pounding on the Freddie Mac thing. And Newt doubles down on the idea that he was paid largely because he was a historian. This is pretty hilarious that he's still claiming that.
6:31 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray): The liveblogging continues in the next thread.
