Subscribe by RSSIt’s about 8:10pm and it has started for a few minutes now. I’ll give a little running commentary as things progress. Refresh for the latest.
First off, Wallace has attempted to start a brawl over tax records, Huckabee and Romney are taking some barbs. They’re still going at it with Romney telling Huckabee he’s “making up facts”.
I was looking forward to seeing Ron Paul signs plastered all over the window behind the candidates but they must have tried to keep them under control.
I’ll continue giving more updates and analysis as we go along. Also, I’ll have some clips up once it finishes.
Update @ 8:21pm
Romney has been a bit more eager to come out and respond harder to the some of the criticism on him. Many complained last night that he was weak. Huckabee is coming off well so far. McCain hasn’t ignited all that much.
Update @ 8:37pm
Break time and so far it’s been pretty mild. Nothing new we didn’t already know. I think McCain has been lackluster thus far. Romney and Huckabee both have done well responding to each other. Thompson and Giuliani have been sort of non-factors in this whole thing since neither of them are really competitive in New Hampshire. Ron Paul should have been included over Thompson in my opinion.
Update @ 9:18pm
Here are some clips coming out courtesy of Hot Air:
More analysis and clips coming soon.
Update @ 9:39pm
Another clip:
It’s over and I would say that Huckabee and Romney emerged looking good. McCain sounded weak and basically stated that he would prefer to ignore his record and talk about the future. I thought he let a lot of attacks by Romney go unanswered and it appear to make him look as if he wasn’t ready to defend his record and previous statements.
Romney seemed to be the focus since he’s spent lots of time attacking McCain and Huckabee. I thought he got the most face time and did well, this forum probably helped him a fair amount compared to the last night’s ABC News Republican debate.
One more clip:
Working on getting the full video up if you missed it, check back here later tonight or tomorrow to watch the entire video.

The forum so far to night seems to be a Mitt Romney Showcase.
Why does it seem that there is no balanced participation?
I was intrigued by the republicans statement that the US has the best healthcare in the world. In what respects is it better? some research and very complicated procedures maybe, however how many people go to hospital for those things? very few I would venture. They vast majority of people go for things that any doctor can cure.
In the rest of the developed world you are NEVER refused treatment, do not have to fill out forms and harass insurance companies just to be seen or worry about getting treated. The idea that socialised healthcare will bring the quality down for everyone that goes to a hospital is rediculous.
I find the idea of paying for healthcare absurd as does every other developed nation.
Who won the FOX Republican Debate in New Hampshire?

Dwain, it did seem to be a Romney love fest but he’s been doing all the attacking lately so he got a lot of focus.
englishman, nobody in the United States is ever turned away for treatment either so don’t spew propaganda until you check the facts. Socialized medicine will bring the quality down and basically turn health care into a government-run bureaucracy of crappy care, low-paid staff, and hospitals closing.
