What's wrong with florida? As a state are we actually AFRAID of achieving something good in the country? I turn sixteen in less than a month & i KNOW this country NEEDS someone like RON PAUL, we definately DO NOT need another bush president like the previous THREE and yes, obama is a 3rd term BUSH. FLORIDA OPEN YOUR EYES! IF A 15 YEAR OLD CAN FIGURE IT OUT WHY CAN'T YOU? Don't let America get screwed again..
Can you please tell the nominees to talk about issues only and to please stop this personal assisation on each other all they are doing is lossing this election to Obama which one of us want. Stick to the issues only we are all tired of this crap we want ro hear about the issues only. Thank God for Rick Nad Ron the are the only ones wanting to discuss the issues.
Thanks to wnyc for hosting the livechat. both informative and cathartic. i often listen via the web when my own station is doing something i'm not too interested in. go public radio
lol, notice how newt was evasive on the wife question!!
Why does Mitt Romney keep agreeing with everyone. Lead!
I see many comments and emails that say those that are Senators and Congress are excluded from the programs that they legistrate for the general population, specifically social security and health care. I believe that is a fundamental flaw, where you (legistraltors/government employees), dictate policy that you yourself, do not participate. Will you change this policy?
Secondly, you are able to dictate your own pay raises. Would you allow the American people vote on your pay raise?

Now we are asking about the candidates wives? Seriously, do we care? Do we vote for couples now? Is this a news or a gossip channel? Get to issues we care about. What about energy, the pipeline from Canada to Texas?
who are these people making the useless comments ?
glad to see a tough debate on healthcare
Ya know, bigalnino, i think thats because this is actually a debate between the four of them. Not between the four of them against PRESIDENT Barack Obama. Wait until its his turn to debate and well see how bad his policies compare to any four of these idiots ideas
Who is going to reform the insurance system? Clearly you can't expect them to reform themselves or they would have already done it. They set the rates and all the conditions under which they will or will not insure people. Without government regulation, how will this change?
Only Ron Paul understand economics and has a record of a saint in congress that no other politician has.
Both the GOP and the news meida except CNN neglect Ron Paul and what they don't understand is that we, Ron Paul and his loyal supporters, hold the royal flush in this poker game. If Rand paul or Ron Paul run third party we
definitely can put Obama back in the white house even though it is
the last thing we want to do. If you continue to prevent us from
getting our message out, we may just play our hand. Don Moler
Would love to watch this without all the jackass comments in the background.
Wolf keeps guiding the debate to have
them attack each other and stay away
from Barack's bad policies.
The field is a farce!! If I were to vote, it would go to Romney. There are no statesmen in the race, just white ment dedicated to getting the BLACK "N" out of the White House. That seems to be their mantra. The President is treated disrespectfully by media and candidates, his records is deliberately misrepresented by the candidates and the media never calls them out on it!!!!!
Start debating and stop bashing each other and the president!!! You shame this country!
Let's get this thing started
