[9:06 by Skyler] Now a question to see Gingrich goes hard on Romney
[9:06 by Kathy] Gringrich is kind of now indirectly attacking Romney
[9:08 by Skyler] Romney : (parphase) not surprised by NY Times and Obama but is surprised at other candiates attacking him on the Bain

[9:11pm By Kathy] Huntsman talks about his record, Romney says nice things about Huntsman
[9:12pm BY Kathy] Santorum
[9:13 by Skyler] Huntsman didn't really go to an attack, Satorum versus Paul looks to be the line tonight , and so far no Perry talk who we haven're really seen.
[9:14 by Kathy} To point it seems Santorum and Paul are fighting for second
[9:15pmby Skyler] There's perry see him way down there
[9:16pm by Skyler] Ron Paul says he voted against the spending calls Santorum a big government person
[9:17pm by Kathy] Santorum says Paul votes against everything

[9:19pm by Skyler] Notice that paul goes back to Santorum]
[9:20pm Kathy] Rick Perry who?
[9:21pm by Skyler] Huntsman also does the outsider thing , governors like being outside
[9:21pm by Kathy] Massachusetts means Romney
[9:22pm by Kathy] Diane Sawyer that was a dumb follow-up question
[9:22pm by Skyler] Romney diverts and says Huntsman does better job than Obama does, in other words he's just wants to run against Obama
[9:24pm by Kathy] Romney and Huntsman don't attack , and Santorum and Paul do and Perry and Gingrich are really not there
[9:24pm by Skyler] Paul and Perry Question
[9:24pm by Skyler] Perry goes to talk about Obama and defense budget
[9:26pm by Kathy] Gingrich and a question about Paul calling him a "Chicken Hawk'
[9:26pm by Kathy] Gingrich doesn't really attack Paul as the ABC news people wanted him to do he instead says that's Paul's style
[9:27pm by Skyler] RonPaul always stands by comments ... Diane
[9:28pm by Kathy] Paul calls the war un declared wars.... he says people who haven't served shouldn't send men away
[9:29pm by Skyler] Gingrich has a mad tone

commerical break on tv
[9:33pm by Skyler] Romney and Huntsman really got through this with out attacking , you can see Perry and Gingrich just holding for life
[9:34pm by Kathy] Paul is trying to attract independents ,which is better for New Hampshire
[9:36pm by Skyler] Seems attacks on Romney slide of him as well , he doesn't bite the bait ... as to say
[9:38pm by Kathy] To Romney : Do states have right to ban controspection? he says he can't imagine it ...
[9:39pm by Kathy] good job Romney helping Paul there...
[9:40pm by Skyler] Romney ditched the question it was a yes or n
[9:41pm by Skyler] Paul answered the question
[9:42pm by Kathy] I wonder why Yes or no is never good enough
[9:44pm by Skyler] Gingrich on gay marriage : says no to it but should be allowed for couples to visit in hospital and wills.
[9:45pm by Kathy] Huntsman's line about controspection. he thinks Civil unions are fair
[9:46pm by Kathy] Same Sex adoption to Santorum... states should make decision on marriage
[9:47pm by Skyler] Why a gay marriage question ...no economic questions ?
[9:48pm by Kathy] Diane they are not sitting in the living room , do you need some water?
[9:48pm by Kathy] Skyler, true it's been about 38 minutes with out a question on the economy
[9:49pm by Skyler] Gingrich now going out the media,
[9:51pm by Kathy] Good for Newt
[9:52PM by Skyler ] They ask if Ron Paul is running as an independant
[9:53pm by Kathy] Paul: Cathing up on Mitt
[9:54pm by Kathy] They all say that the others are better than the Current President , they have one thing united about them, that means the media is wrong
[9:54pm by Skyler] Huntsman : Draw down Afgan war around 2013 or 14,
[9:55pm by Kathy] Romney : see what happens and ASAP
[9:56pm by Skyler] That would be ASAWC,, Huntsman says listening to commanders all the time dosen't work , and civil war could hit Afghanistan . cheering in audience
[9:57pm by Kathy] Gingrich says the whole region is screwed up
[9:58pm by Kathy] Ok, ABC is doing this wrong ... if the main issue is the economy what the heck are they talking about the middle east for.
[9:59pm by Skyler] ABC NEWS is wanting to show a split on war instead of the economy , and now they Perry wants back in Iraq
[10:00pm by Kathy] Perry wants troops back in Iraq , really now?
[10:01pm by Skyler] Gingrich says focus on domestic energy
[10:02pm by Kathy] Diane Sawyer is irritating me right now , and Perry is done for now that's just my opinion
[10:03pm by Skyler] ABC wants to play up Ron Paul to seem crazy. Paul says congress never declared war.
[10:04pm by Kathy] Paul: Sanctions cause war.
[10:05pm by Skyler] Santorum goes after Obama on the 2009 Iran Elections.
[10:06pm by Skyler] Break time
[10:08pm by Kathy] ABC News played this part stupidly. Perry is done for now , sending troops back to Iraq shouldn't have been said
[10:08pm by Skyler] Newt is holding well
[10:11pm by Kathy] Economy please?
