At some point they will have to quit being nice to each other and realize they have to beat each other before taking on Obama.I thought Pawlenty looked real weak on the Obamneycare question.

Pawlenty is not afraid. ALL the candidates stuck with principles the other night. NO ONE attacked anyone. It's early in the game right now, and that is okay for now. I was glad to see the unity at this point. People are just trying to get rid of certain candidates by talking trash about them right now. The last debate was much better-- on FOX. A Republican debate on CNN is kind of a joke, any way.

The moment they start beating each other up they provide fodder to Democrats for attack ads. But if they don't beat each other up, Romney gets the nomination. heh heh heh.
I can assure you that if Romney gets the nomination there will be Democratic attack ads showing how Romney voted for Romneycare before he turned against Obamacare. heh heh heh.
