He should be able to answer the question. What if the question was "can states ban the internet or guns or cars or whatever"?

Mainly because he just gave his stump speech and no one really attacked him much.

Paul said when he was called, he went (even as the head of a family). Newt muttered in response that he "wasn't eligible for the draft."

Probably the best moment of the debate.

On edit: Paul was responding to one of his few questions from the moderators which asked him if he'd repeat or stand by his characterization of Newt as a chickenhawk. Obviously, Paul did.

Santorum, Gingrich, Paul, and Perry are basically supporting Mittens for the nomination.

Obama won. Perry said he wants to re-invade Iraq. Paul called Newt a chickenhawk. Huntsman spoke Chinese again. All treated Romney with delicate kid gloves. RW'rs on twitter depressed i.e. (Medusa Malkin: "Forget contraceptives. We need GOP debate sponsored by Viagra to cure collective impotence of the non-Romneys.&quot

The odd thing was that they all seemed to have brown eyes. Maybe it just didn't show up on my TV. Do any of the candidates have nonbrown eyes?

Please. No theories why so many, thanks.
