[Matt Collins]

Bump.... don't forget to set your alarm clocks.

[jersdream]

So crazy having a debate 10 hours after the last one ENDS.

[Agorism]

There is ANOTHER debate tomorrow morning?

[Nate K]

So the morning one is national while tonight's is just for NH?

[Matt Collins]

So the morning one is national while tonight's is just for NH?Nationwide

[pauliticalfan]

Ron Paul will be front and center.

[smithtg]

perry will be hungover

[ross11988]

Please find a stream I'll be at work.

[islather]

I think Ron will do great, he always seems sharper in the mornings

[braane]

Too Early #DVR

[dfalken]

During the whole debate tonight my wife kept saying Perry looks like he is always drunk, I laughed when I saw your post!


perry will be hungover

[pauliticalfan]

Heck, I'm thinking about pulling an all-nighter. No way I'm getting up at 9 AM otherwise lol.

[sunghoko]

Please find a stream I'll be at work.

It will air on the NBC network as a special edition of "Meet the Press," and will stream live on Facebook. The debate will also air on MSNBC and NECN.

[Matthew Zak]

Meet the press? Oh good, does that mean they'll be sitting down? Ron always seems to energized when he doesn't have distracting foot pain.

[ZanZibar]

Heck, I'm thinking about pulling an all-nighter. No way I'm getting up at 9 AM otherwise lol.Yeah sometimes it's easier just to stay awake than it is to get up early.

[harikaried]

Just making sure, this is broadcasting in the "Meet the Press" segment?

For me that's on ch24 KSBW and ch60 msnbc.

Sleeping for 4 hours!

[Oddone]

I get off work at 7AM CST. I'll have to catch it on Youtube and DVR it, I have to sleep all day. Seriously though folks in PST will have to wake up at before 6AM with some coffee to be ready to listen to a bunch of BS.

[BigByrd47119]

I get off work at 7AM CST. I'll have to catch it on Youtube and DVR it, I have to sleep all day. Seriously though folks in PST will have to wake up at before 6AM with some coffee to be ready to listen to a bunch of BS.

Aww don't be so cynical! I get the feeling an early AM debate will be much more interesting and telling than regular PM debates. It will surely be interesting to say the least. I was anxious about the one last night, but this one in the morning I am much more excited for!

[hazek]

This starts in one hour right?

[eduardo89]

This starts in one hour right?

52 minutes.

[jclay2]

Any online tv links for this?

[vita3]

Too darn early for a debate, especially on a Sunday.

Good luck Dr.Paul, I'm skipping this one.

[TER]

Well, I worked an all-nighter last night and missed the debate, so this debate is just the right medicine I need before I take a rest. :)

Go Ron!!,

[camp_steveo]

There's no way NBC will be as obviously unfair to Paul as ABC was. WOW, that was sorry as Hell.

[eduardo89]

There's no way NBC will be as obviously unfair to Paul as ABC was. WOW, that was sorry as Hell.

Wanna bet on that?

[Ranger29860]

How weird is it that we are waiting for a debate to start at 9 in the MORNING.

[TER]

Wanna bet on that?

Now, now, be nice to the new members. Don't go taking their money.

[camp_steveo]

Wanna bet on that?

No, my Momma aint raise no fool. :D

[camp_steveo]

If Paul has mic problems, I am probably gonna end up in the hospital...LOL

[Nate-ForLiberty]

Remember, Ron is a life long early riser. He'll be super fresh for this one.

[axlr]

Just woke up. I'm hoping for a debate performance like last night, he rocked!

40 more minutes...

[TER]

How weird is it that we are waiting for a debate to start at 9 in the MORNING.

lol! The Vangard?? Or the Obsessed??

Seriously, such supporters are what the other contenders wish for most of all. And they know only Ron Paul has them in vast numbers... including many from the military.

[Chris from Upstate NY]

Should be good, Ron definatly a morning person, he has a farm after all.

[hazek]

Wanna bet on that?

Hey I also want in on that action!

[TER]

Who's gonna put some eggs and bacon on the grill??? I like mine sunny side up with a glass of raw milk! :)

[ZanZibar]

perry will be hungoverHe ain't the only one... ugh.

[eduardo89]

Hey I also want in on that action!

It's like taking candy from a baby

[Bruno]

He ain't the only one... ugh.

coffee's brewing, I got ya covered

[Kevin Smyth]

I've been up all night so for me this feels like they had a really long rain delay and now the second game of the Doubleheader is starting. :p

[Mike4Freedom]

Finally! Something good about working nightshift.

Looking forward to this.

[walt]

EDIT: FEED WAS BOGUS.

[walt]

Meet the press? Oh good, does that mean they'll be sitting down? Ron always seems to energized when he doesn't have distracting foot pain.


Does he actually have a foot condition?

[camp_steveo]

It's like taking candy from a baby

whatever...

[Kevin Smyth]

Imagine how it feels to be Perry right now, I bet he's thinking "Why the hell do I still show up for these?" :D

[Bruno]

Wow, did you catch the pre-show, where he said, "on my my guests, I learned, a big Ron Paul fan...'you'll never work in Republican politics again'", Lol. WTF?

[walt]

coffee's brewing, I got ya covered


I need one too this morning for some reason, though I never drink coffee!

[newbitech]

here we go

[ross11988]

Here we go

[anewvoice]

Already into my 2nd cup this morning, not sure I should punish myself this early in the morning by watching but.. :)

[islather]

Take them to school Ron!

[TheLasersShadow]

Was wondering where this thread was, not use to these an early morning debate.

Was watching the pre-show on msDNC and it seems the way for them to keep their people on the farm anymore and not look into supporting RP is to hammer the newsletters infinitum. Even so one of the 5 on the panel was obviously a fan!!

[Tina]

Wow, did you catch the pre-show, where he said, "on my my guests, I learned, a big Ron Paul fan...'you'll never work in Republican politics again'", Lol. WTF?

I wish she would have asked him to explain himself.

[walt]

Ron's in the middle!

[islather]

They gonna try and make everyone go after Romney?

[Ilhaguru]

Pre-debate discussion with the moderator and other talking heads is on. Waste of time, but it means the debate is starting soon.

[dfalken]

Gingrich is describing Ron Paul?

[Ranger29860]

god romney looks tired

[amabala]

it's time who hit Romney.

[AlexG]

Nice that they come out of the gate hitting Romney

[Kevin Smyth]

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-this-mornings-nbcfacebook-gop-debate-live-here/

That's the best one!!!

[anewvoice]

stream issues?

[TheLasersShadow]

NBC game plan = make them attack each other!! they want GOP blood...

[freedomforever!]

Wow - Santorum's really going on the attack!

[Liberty74]

Did Ricky just slam Mitt?

[JacobG18]

santorum got a good hit

[anewvoice]

Wow, these guys look like hell this morning

[Ranger29860]

didn't santorum break the record for the worst loss of an incumbent?

[amabala]

stream issues?

[anewvoice]

ROFL - endorsement call in 2008, that's too funny (vis-s-vis John McCain)

[happyphilter]

Man, Romney is getting crapped on.

[anewvoice]

This one is good.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-this-mornings-nbcfacebook-gop-debate-live-here/

This is working, yep!

[harikaried]

Wha? Lame. My local NBC channel is putting up this message for the whole debate?

The NBC affiliate in San Jose has exercised its right to request that this cable system blackout duplicated NBC program on KSBW-TV. Questions about this non-duplication should be addressed to KNTV. Thank you for understanding.

Yay for internet streaming.

[bronc_fan23]

Yes, lets attack Romney in the debate no one is watching! Shouldn't GOPers be in church at the moment?

[ChristianAnarchist]

Damn, always problems getting the right stream.

[walt]

Romney has another Rick I'm speaking moment.

[ventron]

[Tina]

Newt was booed.

[AlexG]

This election is finally heating up!

[green73]

The knives are out!

[axlr]

WOOT WOOT! Gingrich!

[Liberty74]

The gloves are coming off LMAO.

[walt]

Looks like they all heard the why aren't the candidates attacking Romney questions last night...

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

jaja, Gingrich got him good. Mitt is Political Failure.

[Ranger29860]

man what a pompous ass

[sevin]

Another episode of the Mitt Romney show. *yawn*

[goldwater's ghost]

wtf is mittens talking about

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

True Consistency Conservative = Dr. Paul!

[happyphilter]

They are setting everyone up to attack Ron Paul.

[Todd]

someone must have got the memo this morning to start attacking Romney. It's about time

[liveandletlive]

HITTING ROMNEY !!!!!!!!! FINALLY !!!!

well not by name hahahaha

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Ron Paul killing with real issues!!!

[blazeKing]

They are setting everyone up to attack Ron Paul.

This lol

[green73]

BOSS

[asurfaholic]

Its easier to keep up with the forums this AM

[ZanZibar]

Ron bringing it back to the issues and away from the mickey mouse nonsense.

[axlr]

Great fuckin' response!

[hazek]

Ron took the high ground in the first answer, very well done.

[goldwater's ghost]

the adult in the room.....ron paul

[anewvoice]

way to turn that question into a real issue handling, you are superficial

you read my mind - but let's stay with this superficial line of questioning

[Liberty74]

Excellent answer Paul.

He got some claps!!!

[Ranger29860]

that reminded me of the 2008 Reagan library answer about who said what where.

[liveandletlive]

Rick Perry is such a clown, what an embarrassment

[Tina]

HITTING ROMNEY !!!!!!!!! FINALLY !!!!

well not by name hahahaha

He handled that beautifully.

[Kevin Smyth]

I liked Ron mentioning beating Obama, that's what the Conservatives want to hear!

[blabam]

Rick Perry channeling Peter Schiff :D

[liveandletlive]

lol Perry's tea party???

[happyphilter]

Sounds like the crowd is sick of these silly questions too.

[anewvoice]

Perry calls everyone, Ron Paul a big government spender? Actually I think Perry's answer is an endorsement of Ron Paul!

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Perry still painting Ron as a big insider. :eek::toady:

[Liberty74]

I'm sorry but Perry is a complete douche when he speaks.

[walt]

the adult in the room.....ron paul

That was awesome, we'll see if Gregory follows.

[ChristianAnarchist]

Idiot perry sees all as insiders... Including Paul???

[unknown]

Ron bringing it back to the issues and away from the mickey mouse nonsense.

You said Micky Mouse, heh.

[harikaried]

Are you watching this? http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nbc-news-live/45872501#45872501Yeah. Turns out KNTV is broadcasting the debate at 7:30 here.

[Roy Bleckert]

Ron is hitting a good point lets disscuss the issues

[anewvoice]

Perry still painting Ron as a big insider. :eek::toady:

I think we should take that clip and announce a Perry endorsement for Ron Paul based on that stance. :)

[unknown]

I cant watch the debates anymore. Im too nervous. How is the good Doctor? He's usually a morning guy.

[ross11988]

Looks like Huntsman had a late night

[Liberty74]

At least this anchorman is not an embarrassment like last night.

[walt]

I'm sorry but Perry is a complete douche when he speaks.

only when he speaks? :eek:

[Rocket_pilot]

Good morning fellow patriots. Ron off to a decent start in the debate.

[dfalken]

Cmon Huntsman say something in Chinese...just do it!

[Liberty74]

This is turning out to be a blood fest on Mitt.

LMFAO

[blabam]

Why is everybody clapping for Huntsman? Plants LOL?

[goldwater's ghost]

mittens getting hammered

[european]

I cant watch the debates anymore. Im too nervous. How is the good Doctor? He's usually a morning guy.
Ron Paul is doing well, but he needs to get some more time to speak. :D

[hazek]

LOL crowd against Romney?

[axlr]

Huntsman is doing good...worries me a tad.

[happyphilter]

Damn, Huntsman is doing well...

[dfalken]

What are they going to do when the race is Romney against Paul? Are they going to ask Romney to attack himself and then rebutt it in order to keep Ron quiet?

[refuge]

Why am I hearing so much cheering for Huntsman?

[ross11988]

Nice Huntsman, lets take split the romney vote

[Bruno]

Ron Paul 1 question, Romeny 45, Huntstmann 3

[goldwater's ghost]

this is like piranha 3-d

[liveandletlive]

LOL crowd against Romney?

or a lot of Huntsman family in the crowd

[Tina]

Dr Paul said let's not be superficial, lets talk issues!!! from the moderator!

[Bruno]

Why is everybody clapping for Huntsman? Plants LOL?

Wondered that, too

[Machiavelli]

thanks moderator, doing decent job

[freedomforever!]

or a lot of Huntsman family in the crowd

Haha - that's probably right.

[swissaustrian]

Huntsman got plants in the audience who will applause everything he says.

[anewvoice]

Huntsman going after Romney, and getting some crowd applause to it.

Dr. Paul said "Let's not be superficial", nice.

3 programs - entitlements and DoD

[blazeKing]

Is huntsman doing well because of his answers or because NBC stacked the room with huntsman people to try and garner a surge?

[RDM]

Must be a "selected" Huntsman crowd that was allowed in the doors.

[Ranger29860]

1200 people at an event for santorum??? can someone confirm that?

[Bruno]

Paul better get the "what would you cut" question.

[european]

OMG the moderator has referred to dr Paul twice already. He wants the discussion to be about real answers, not just b*tchslapping in the air. (that is good)

Now give him talktime! :D

[giovannile07]

Whoops didn't realize there was another debate today! D:

[Todd]

All these bozos ever talk about with cuts is welfare issues. They have tons of federal bloated departments they could cut and they miss the boat every time. Santorum completley lost in the wilderness

[walt]

What are they going to do when the race is Romney against Paul? Are they going to ask Romney to attack himself and then rebutt it in order to keep Ron quiet?

Mitt will reprimand himself for talking to himself....

[runamuck]

Another joke debate.

[Bruno]

Let Mr. "I'll cut $1 Trillion" speak!

[sevin]

wtf, everyone has gotten to speak at least twice except Ron.

[FTW_Only_Ron]

Ron was thrown a softball to pound on Romney and he bunted..What a stand up guy

[Ranger29860]

wow that is a catch 22 question for perry

[ross11988]

OMG PERRY

[randomname]

ha. funny

[swissaustrian]

Damn circus

[axlr]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Perry's 3 departments!

[dfalken]

Excuse me idiots the guy in second place is in the room and Perry has no chance in hell and has gotten 2 questions already.

[Kevin Smyth]

Perry is turning himself into a gimmicky joke candidate.

[king_nothing_]

Wow is Perry trying to make fun of himself?

[ChristianAnarchist]

He remembered all three !!! hahaha

[Ranger29860]

wow as usual they ignore paul

[pauliticalfan]

1 question. 1 effing question.

[ashura]

Jesus Christ. They're making this a good debate for everyone BUT Paul. How do you not ask the only guy who's submitted a detailed budget about cuts???

[Bruno]

Paul should walk right up to the moderator and say, "I'm 2nd in NH, the state wants to hear me speak"

[european]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Perry's 3 departments!

he still forgot 2 :p

[nyrgoal99]

anyone got debate time breakdown?

[jclay2]

This debate is such a joke. And people wonder why romney is the front runner? Look at how much time and questions they give him. Ron Paul has gotten 1 question so far which he killed.

[goldwater's ghost]

i hope newt and frothy keep going after mittens. ron could take the highground

[Dsylexic]

nonsense of a debate.the only guy who says lets talk of issues is not asked questions.bogus.i hate nbc

[walt]

*awkward feed silence*

better than the talking heads yesterday....

[Liberty74]

Paul should walk right up to the moderator and say, "I'm 2nd in NH, the state wants to hear me speak"

THIS

[happyphilter]

Romney only got so much attention early on because most of the questions referred to Romney. It's obvious they are out for him.

Hopefully Paul gets more into it.

[Number19]

Yes, but ron raised the question. the public knows he would cut 5 departments. the debate just showed most of the others don't have any substance. not having ron respond did not hurt.

[ChristianAnarchist]

We can expect the media to marginalize Dr. Paul and the message. In fact, if they ever start giving him a break, we should be very suspicious of them... :)

[walt]

He remembered all three !!! hahaha

I'd give anything for a short yellow school bus to pull up and take him away during the next debate segment.

[llepard]

Ron was thrown a softball to pound on Romney and he bunted..What a stand up guy

Yep, one of his best answers. Oooops, it has been his only answer. RP nailed it.

Nice to watch all the other candidates sling mud, while Gregory says, " get back to Dr. Paul's ideas of talking about issues."

[Student Of Paulism]

Santorum and Newt really went after Romney out of the gate...bah.. I really wish Ron would attack him like Rick did, ill never know why he is reluctant to take that approach :(

[Dsylexic]

i predict 3 minutes of talking time for ron

[Steve-in-NY]

If Ron gets questions we win.
If he doesnt the media bias narrative comes up and we win.
Long story short we can't lose.

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Yes, but ron raised the question. the public knows he would cut 5 departments. the debate just showed most of the others don't have any substance. not having ron respond did not hurt.

True, but RP would be better served presenting his budget plan & taking his well deserved time in the debate.

[Bruno]

Now they will change the topic, so they can start over and ignore Ron again.

[llepard]

i hope newt and frothy keep going after mittens. ron could take the highground

Agree. This is a good debate for Ron. He does not even need to speak.

[Kevin Smyth]

Does it seem like they are building up Santorum? :(

[FTW_Only_Ron]

This debate is such a joke. And people wonder why romney is the front runner? Look at how much time and questions they give him. Ron Paul has gotten 1 question so far which he killed.Don't worry Ron will get a question it will be concerning the newsletter :(

[walt]

Now they will change the topic, so they can start over and ignore Ron again.

Hey, Bruno, where's my coffee?

[happyphilter]

Wow. No questions for Paul?

[89five.o]

None of these streams are working on my PS3 or iphone. Any other link?

[pauliticalfan]

1 question in 30 minutes. Ridiculous.

[GomerPile]

Dr Paul "Is it true that you beat your wife" question in 3 - 2 - 1.....

[happyphilter]

Make phone calls.

[jax]

I just tuned in, is this another "56 seconds"?

[phill4paul]

Hey, Bruno, where's my coffee?

Sorry I took the last cup. I put another pot on. Give it 10 minutes.

[Kevin Smyth]

This setup isn't really fair, when they pick a frontrunner they keep him the frontrunner by asking him tons of questions and centering the entire debate around him.

[pauliticalfan]

Unbelievable.

[pacu44]

Paul just needs to shake his head and say "more of the same"

[Jtorsella]

They are pushing Huntsman.

[dfalken]

This is a complete joke!

[sevin]

When Paul finally gets a question, he should say, "I was wondering if I would get to speak again."

[Tina]

Yawn.

[ChristianAnarchist]

huntsman, gingrich, mittens....

[randomname]

why are they letting f'ing Huntsman talk so much?

[Kevin Smyth]

So much Huntsman!!! UGH!!!! :eek:

[pauliticalfan]

Pumping Huntsman.

[Liberty74]

Paul is being blacked out :mad:

[Machiavelli]

Pump it

[goldwater's ghost]

this is getting ridiculous....ask paul

[happyphilter]

This is garbage. I hope he says something.

[SamuraisWisdom]

Well it appears the strategy this morning is just to ignore Paul instead of going after him and giving him a chance to defend himself.

[ChristianAnarchist]

Looks like the camera is avoiding Paul too...

[RDM]

This debate is all about pumping the others for second place and shutting out Paul

[Kevin Smyth]

This debate is all about pumping the others for second place and shutting out Paul

You got it!

[Dsylexic]

are these knaves stealing paul's platform: block grants for medicare?

[tempest]

Scandalous debate (even Huntsman had more airtime (more than 3x already)

[goldwater's ghost]

ask paul a question already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[jrice]

Rick Perry is such a joke. He seems to have quite a bit of "religious right" support in my area.... its funny to see expressions on faces when I asked if they knew that he endorsed Guilliani in 08 who is prochoice.

[anewvoice]

LOL, anyone else have an opinion - Governor Romney?

[cucucachu0000]

Geez ron put up ur hand!

[pauliticalfan]

They won't even ask him a question.

[randomname]

what a hack job of a debate. same as that meet the press interview.

[opinionatedfool]

IS RON PAUL INVISIBLE?????????? This is stupid.

[walt]

Geez ron put up ur hand!

+1

[jax]

Luckily no one else is watching this at 9am

[liveandletlive]

Ron Paul's record being blasted by lil David

[Jtorsella]

Attacking Ron Paul on his issues.

[dfalken]

here we go attack against Paul, scumbags!

[Number19]

Good question for ron. Veto power?

[ChristianAnarchist]

Who is this "Dr. Paul"...
Maybe I should google him?

[maxoutco]

Luckily no one else is watching this at 9am

The older crowd will be watching this right now.

[liveandletlive]

No accomplishments! Dr. Paul's record haha here we go

[randomname]

I hate David Gregory.

[ross11988]

Nice, used the SS example

[cucucachu0000]

Eh it was alright not a great answer

[dfalken]

Great answer followed by the suntanned scumbag interrupting the end of it.

[Havax]

BRING UP AUDIT THE FED

[ashura]

This jerk of a moderator cutting off the end of Paul's response with a question for Santorum...

[Steve-in-NY]

Ron should start lighting sparklers soon or pull out the phone and call carol.

[ChristianAnarchist]

Cut Dr. Paul off without finishing his sentence..
