Update II: Poll added.

Update: Debate is over, comments under fold.

Here we go. . .

• Is Brian Williams asking a question or attacking Perry?
• Mittens is proud of his Mass record, that makes one person.
• Mittens: “We created more jobs in Massachusetts than the president created in this entire country” — can’t argue with that.
• Perry: “Michael Dukakis created jobs three X faster than you did, Mitt”
• Santorum sounding good.
• Cain: “If 10% is good enough for God, 9% should be good enough for government” Nice!!
• Bachmann: “ObamaCare is killing jobs”
• Ron Paul: “I don’t believe in regulations but it doesn’t mean I don’t believe in regulations” or something.
• Paul: “Too much regulation is sending jobs overseas” — absolutely correct, now he’ll ruin it by blaming jihadism on American foreign policy.
• RomneyCare attack time. Perry jumps on it.
• Mittens: Individual mandate right for Massachusetts.
• Perry: Medicaid needs to go back to the states. Get the federal government out of health care.
• Why is Huntsman in this debate? Polling 2%. Even Mr. 2% is smarter than Romney, says “absolutely not” to individual mandate.
• Go Newt!
• Newt: “I’m frankly not interested in your effort to get Republicans fighting each other.”
• Cain: “Now I’m running against RomneyCare”
• Brian Williams to Santorum: “Where would the poor fit in your administration?” WTF kind of question is that?
• Romney on Obama’s domestic energy policies: “He’s just strangling America’s economy”
• Mr. 2% makes a teleprompter joke.
• Mr. 2% “Not realistic to promise $2 a gallon gas”

• Ron Paul: Reagan wasn’t all that great.
• Perry: “Social Security is a monstrous lie, it’s a ponzi scheme”
• Perry on Rove: “Karl has been over the top for a long time in some of his remarks so I’m not responsible for Karl any more”
• Cain: We need personal retirement accounts, Chilean style.
• HPV fiasco is going to haunt Perry.
• Rick Perry: “I kind of feel like the piñata here” . . . obviously, MSNBC is running the debate.
• Santorum shreds Perry on HPV.
• Romney: “Perry’s heart was in right place”
• FYI: Team Romney has already sent out two emails attacking Perry: “PERRY DOES NOT BELIEVE SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD EXIST” (not making that up)
• Perry: “Obama an abject liar when he says border is secure” — great line.
• Cain: “Enforce the immigration laws, empower the states” Yup.
• Who’s this tanned liberal speaking . . . no, wait, that Huntsman.
• Ron Paul hinting at drug legalization?
• Paul straps on the tin foil: “Border fence might be used to keep us in if there’s economic turmoil!”
