   I think Romney is a doofus.

   I’d like to see Fred Thomspon doing better.

   It turns out that Fox News won’t let any Republican use footage of any of the debates, except for Guiliani. Also, Roger Ailes, the head of Fox asked a reported to keep quiet about embarrassing information about Guiliani. Also Guiliani was a lobbyist for Fox.

   Fox is supporting a candidate, but it aint Mitt Moneybags.

   I don’t think much of Mitt Romney skipping the Iowa debate. It’s probably tactical on his part. He probably prefers to spend his time and resources in areas that he might have a bigger impact, say New Hampshire.

   As far as not having the debate, trust me. There will be plenty more debates to watch.

   I don’t like Romney at all. He was governor of my state and he was terrible. I can sum up his character with the treatment of his dog, the irish setter he put on top of the car’s roof for more than 8 hours. He said the dog liked it. BS. I had an irish setter. She was neurotic. She hated it when you left her alone. Romney’s dog got terribly sick. That’s not a sign of a dog that likes it. No way. He is a jerk. I don’t know why they decided not to hold it but maybe Romney wasn’t the only candidate that didn’t want to do it. He maybe led the way.

   Not sure about Fox’s reasoning; however – technically, any candidate is free to skip a debate in the interest of strategy/tactical reasons.

   Everything Fox News does is in the interest of Guiliani. He is their candidate. Why do you think Time Warner let them on cable. Guiliani defied an old friend he’d had for years on that one. Fox News has to back him because he is one of the reasons they are even in existence.
