Round 3. Ready? Fight!
The rumble in Orlando, Florida is going down tonight. Coverage begins at 8:30PM Eastern time on Fox News, and will also be streamed live here.
It should be worth watching. It's almost certain to get ugly.

Thanks for the reminder...today was rifle range day and I generally have nothing on my mind except shooting on range day...I even have to set the alarm on my cell phone to make sure I pack up and get home in time for supper so I don't anger someone I dare not name.

On the other hand, this Fox News Google love fest is bothering me

Line of the night from Gary Johnson:
"My neighbor's two dogs have created more shovel-ready jobs than the Obama administration"

Initial impression(s)
Although the moderators did a fair job of involving everyone, it appeared to be primarily a Perry/Romney debate. The audience seemed to think so also...strongest responses for those two. All the candidates gave (some) responses I wanted to hear, but those are just words...I'm looking for the records.

From Publishers Weekly I would add that the last chapter, detailing Google's efforts in politics, including driving Obama fundraising, should be required reading. Google collects volumes of information about all of us. So what, you say? They are a private company. Yes a private company whose records can be subpoenaed by government. Yes a private company who has already cooperated with China to censor information the Chinese government deemed inappropriate for their citizens to know. Yes a private company all too willing to work with the Obama administration to make government information gathering Google efficient. Yes I is skeered of Google. Good book to help one understand what is happening and the changes this society is going through.

He is wrong. Just ask Governor Meg Whitman of California. Conservative Hispanics will vote republican. The radical anti American Hispanic interest groups will never vote republican no matter how much a candidate hispanders.

Post-debate analysis...
Perry needs to be locked in a room for a week and taught how to debate. He came off badly, looked pitiful when attempting to attack Romney and didn't defend himself very well. One more performance like this and he might as well chuck it in. Romney came off slick, like something fresh squeezed. It's becoming obvious that he or Huntsman (or Christie, if he gets in) are the establishment's favorites. I disliked him in 2008, I dislike him even more now. Bachmann avoided most of the pitfalls she stumbled into in the last debate and stuck, for the most part, to a positive message. Otherwise, meh. Ron Paul wasn't asked about any of his fruitcake positions, so he came off fairly sane. Gingrich was cerebral, as usual. Seems to be running for something other that President, though. Johnson... who? Santorum sounded pretty good. Came off well when stating his positions, not so well when going negative. Huntsman should be running in the Democrat primary. Cain may have been the winner. No stumbles, solid answers, comes off as knowledgeable and decisive. All-in-all a good debate.

Perry cannot be a conservative when he hauls out La Raza talking points on immigration.

I'm starting to see a bit of Clinton in Perry. Nowhere near as slick, but every bit as untrustworthy. IMHO.

He is not a conservative, he parrots conservatives sometimes. He does not have conservative instincts at all.

I think the heartless comment is going to HURT, especially since he started off saying he had high respect for Obama. What a comparison for conservative voters.

Just as an aside, am I the only one who gets annoyed when they don't answer the question that was asked?
You know they've been coached to do that, but c'mon dammit, answer a question direct and to the point for a change!
