Liveblogging the South Carolina GOP Debate
— andy

Or, as Jon Huntsman might say, "Liveblogging 南卡羅來納州共和黨辯論". I'm gonna miss that condescending putz, but we'll always have Google translate so no big loss.

Huntsman's exit whittles the field down to the Inevitable Mitt Romney™ along with the Not-Mitt quartet of Gingrich, Paul, Perry and Santorum.

Second look at a double Scotch?

In any event, here we go again: Fox News Channel at 9pm - livestream here.

Standard reminder: Your comments do not automatically display. So don't ask "Why aren't my comments displaying?" They don't display.

They're not posted comments a la chat room. Instead they go to queue, which the producers (cobloggers) read, and we post them, by hand, if we think they make a good point.

Liveblog thingy below the fold.

There's a debate tonight?  Huh.  How many does this make now?  They're just doing this to toy with us, right?  I mean, I thought we were all just supposed to lie back, pull the lever for Mittens, and think of England.

Completely O/T:

20 Reportedly the ACLU and Amnesty International have filed a complaint. Exposing viewers to yet another debate will have crossed the line between 'enhanced interrogation' and actual torture. Somewhere, a prisoner is beating his head against the floor, knowing that a painful self inflicted death will be preferable to enduring yet another debate. Perssonally I'm trying to decide whether I should watch or go out like David Carradine.

It'll be a low turnout on both sides.  Team Obama may have some trouble getting the traditional Dem vote fraud apparatus enthused though since he's done so many things to burn those people.  Without all those smiling little old traditional Dem ladies to cheat for him, his own zombie nation will have steeper learning curve when it comes to fraud.

IMO, it'll be a tossup.

100 kicking China's ass when they try to take Taiwan.

Taiwan just reelected their China friendly president a few days ago.  Relations have never been better.  I think China/Taiwan will eventually have a rapprochement on amicable terms within the next 20 years.  A war at this point is bad for both sides.  The Chinese economic boom of the past 10 years changed the dynamic somewhat from the hardcore commie era.

Mr. Romney is now saying Bain Capital's four biggest success stories led to 120,000 jobs. That's up from 100,000.

Wapo



Created or saved, in man years.

And no, you may not see the actual numbers.  They were on a hard drive that got erased -- somehow.

250 230 @203 Willy- most are coming from people who falsely claim to be in the military in order to give Paul a talking point.

Pat Dollard on twitter said that of the first 15 Paul contributors he audited who claimed to be military, not a single one was.

I wonder how many more. I'd like to see that lie fully exposed since it's a major talking point for Ronulans.

270 The final numbers will be different from those released on caucus night. One campaign source says the vote count as of midday Monday showed Santorum ahead by 80-something votes. If that number holds through certification of the last precincts, Santorum will win. Of course, there is always the possibility that some of the final precincts will contain discrepancies that put Romney back on top. It's just not clear.

By the way, when does someone like Juan realize that when you are fired or thrown under the bus by the leftists, that just MAYBE, you are not allowed to have your own opinions as a leftist.

I still wonder how long it takes for a leftist to understand that leftism does not allow dissenting opinion?

288 "Second look at a double Scotch?"

Double Scotch? The choices on offer in the current GOP field have me doing a cannonball dive into a triple Val-U-Rite. Triple as in three fifths of the stuff, straight up, no chaser, unrefrigerated (not that the cheesy plastic bottles deal well with that to begin with).

There was a note at Hot Gas about how something like 58% of GOP primary voters wish that there were some more and different candidates in the primaries. I am solidly in the ranks of that 58%, and I view the next few months with a feeling of increasing dread.

As I have said before: it is insufficient to merely be not-SCOAMF.

What is required is not-SCOAMF and plausibly electable in the general.

I am not seeing that right now. Did I say three fifths of Val-U-Rite? Let's make that an even four.

413 The vast majority of the world's shipping is done by sea.  Those lanes have to remain open, and that requires a navy to patrol them and enforce American interests.

We have eleven carriers, but only about a third of that available, IIRC.  Essentially, when you have one on station, you have one heading home and one prepping to go out.  So really you have 3-4 available. 

When a US aircraft carrier enters a countries waters, it often becomes the most powerful air force, the largest hospital and the largest source of fresh water in the country.  From a foreign policy perspective, that's a huge benefit to the US.

Aircraft carriers are not the problem.  In fact, they are arguably a very inexpensive defense item, for all the benefits that they provide.

My totally quirky debate response:

the only time one of those guys said anything that made me think was when Santorum criticized Romney for not reducing Social Security bennies and Gingrich for cutting costs to pay for new programs instead of paying for the deficit.  I and the woman talked it over and decided that Santorum was right.

Other than that, it was all conservative boilerplate, executed reasonably competently.  Except in Paul's case, where it was constitutional and kook boilerplate, also executed reasonably competently.

He said he'd have the border locked down or secured (I forget which) within a year.  He's actually not a fan of a long continuous fence along our border, but more boots on the ground, air support, and strategic fencing for securing it.

Honestly I'm not really a fan of a continuous fence either even though it seems like a good idea.  I think that would be a case of the amnesty lovers saying "Fence is up, borders secure!  Let's legalize everyone!"

461 I was disappointed with the post-debate analysis at FOX tonight, mostly with funbags the commentator. The guy beside her made a comment, "There is a cleavage in the Republican party," and my husband spit out his drink. Anyway, someone brought up a good point. The safe strategy isn't paying off for Romney, except that the party tends to play it safe in the end. But Romney isn't the clear successor or frontrunnrer, just the presumptive nominee. No one is ready to coronate him just yet, at least not SC. Historically they predict the nominee. The panel was hard pressed to identify Newt as the not-Romney. But going by tonight's debate, he clearly will be. He should see a surge in polling and fundraising. Santorum will fade a bit. FOX kept trying to push Ron Paul even. Perry did alright according to audience response and online. Someone said this only helps Romney, but Santorum is the splitter.

Posted by: Tattoo De Plane at January 16, 2012 08:01 PM (i330i)

462 Gingrich was the clear winner.  Hannity is being accused of pushing gingrich so he pulled back on his analysis.  I still don't understand what Romney releasing his tax returns has to do with removing him as nominee after he shows them?   Perry didn't convince me that private citizen romney has any obligation to anyone to reveal his tax records until he's the nominee.  I'm sorry if Perry's records are already out there.  If the others revealed theirs fine, that's their choice.  But romney is under no obligation to reveal them.

Someone has to sit down and explain private equity and venture capitalism to some of the candidates and some of the questioners.  It just makes them stupid when they isolate 1 steel mill and go after that one particular business ignoring all the successful businesses that have been helped.  Once people understand the process of private equity then they will think either the candidates don't understand it or they don't want to understand it.  Either way, venture capitalism is necessary.  And bain is not the only game in town.

If these so called conservatives demanded to see my tax returns, I'd demand they provide the evidence that something inappropriate could be found to justify such a demand. I would also explain to them that the American people don't care about my tax returns now and they certainly wont care about them when the democrats pull the class warfare card when he is the nominee.

468 477 Romney's timidity was on full display. If these so called conservatives demanded to see my tax returns, I'd demand they provide the evidence that something inappropriate could be found to justify such a demand.

It's really standard stuff to release your tax returns.  Since Mitt's entire argument for being the nominee appears to be that he's "electable," doesn't prudence demand that he release them now so we can all confirm that there's nothing untoward in them?  Why wait until it's too late and we're committed to the guy.

Personally, I assume there is nothing improper in Mitt's returns and we all know that he's a wealthy guy so that can't be the reason he's hesitant to release them.  So that makes me wonder what the reason is.  I have a couple of theories.  One might be that he's made charitable contributions to a group that would be controversial in the general -- perhaps the National Organization for Marriage?  I dunno.  Another might be something to do with the level of charitable giving he's done.

My feeling is that it plays into the dems class warfare agenda. It's time to stand against it and force them to justify their accusations of impropriety when they have no proof.

It's pretty standard for Presidential candidates to release their tax returns.  (One site I checked today showed that 27 out of the past 34 candidates did.)  Even Obama did it, which is why we know he's a stingy SOB, philanthropically speaking. 

Again, I have to ask why the reluctance?  We know he's rich.  We know he made $360k in speaking fees.  Having his tax returns doesn't change any of that.  I seriously doubt he is sloppy enough to owe back taxes (the way Geraldine Ferraro wound up doing when she finally released hers). 

I think there's something he's reluctant to have seen about his charitable donations. 

And as for the class warfare schtick, plenty of Romney supporters have been all over Gingrich for his jewelry purchases, so let's not pretend here.
