It seems like Perry shows up to these debates having done absolutely nothing to prepare.

Tough night for the Perrymeister.

Is he being persecuted by the questioners and spectators because he is a Christian?

They totally tiptoed over the Yucca Mountain issue (because they are in LV) when it's a prime example of government/political failure. I wonder if Paul realizes who actually pays for the project.

Government has spent ~$11B on a project that should have cost $7B; while nuclear operators have paid $17B in fees for the nuclear waste fund which funds it (although. If the gov't fails to start accepting spent fuel by 2020, they might be on the hook for $12B in liabilities. All the fees are paid for by the public in electricity costs as well as the additional funding from the weapons programs.

My suggestion is to stick with it. As far as I understand, the science is sound and Yucca Mountain is the best place for the waste. Convince Nevadans that they need the high paying jobs. Also suggest that future research projects for spent fuel management such as reprocessing or burner reactors be located on site (duh) that will bring the remaining cash located in the fund ($20B) to Nevada.

Does it sort of stink for Nevadans to be forced to accept nuclear fuel when they have no plants....yes. I'd also argue the weapons testing was ****ty too. But we did it for the best interests of the country...somewhat. Just do what needs to be done and move along.

Silly rant, but nuclear has been on the back burner since Fukushima.

Would like to see a serious debate narrowed down to just Cain, Romney and Gingrich. Maybe include Paul since he at least answers directly without all the political sound bites.

Didn't Obama close Yucca Mountain before Fukushima? If so, it was never on the table for this administration.

If Reid would have lost it would have been on the table. I'm still not sure it would have went through. But with Reid, and Obama needing the senate, it's 100% dead.

That question sounds like it was tee'd up for Santorum... but he should have stopped talking much sooner. Dragged that answer on way too long.

For the love of God stop this back and forth....you do not have to give him 30 seconds.

One of the worst moderated debates I have ever seen.

Truly . . . They can't format debates like that and moderate them so weakly.

The bickering on the stage made Anderson Cooper and the candidates look bad.

Yep. It was all a ploy by CNN to make the GOP look foolish... and it worked.

At least Newt spoke up at the end about all the "bickering" that was occurring between a few of the candidates. It makes the whole party look bad, and they've been doing a good job of that all by themselves.

I don't think CNN is as biased as most on here. But I agree this was intentional to a degree. CNN had to be giddy about the circus.

Damn, sounds like I missed a wild one - good to hear that Perry bombed again.

How'd Cain survive the 999 attacks?
