From reading the blog commentaries, it seems the story of this debate so far was Newt slapping Mittens down with that insult: “the only reason you didn’t become a career politician is because you lost to Teddy Kennedy in 1994.”

Then Mittens quips back: “And if I’d made it into the NFL when I was a kid then I would’ve been a career football player over my life.”Really? If Newt is offering red meat, Mittens is offering Tofu. (Eat! It'll be good for you.)

Then Perry/Romney, Perry attacks him for re-writing his book and whitewashing his previous support for the individual mandate. The exchange:

Quote:

Perry: I’m just saying, you’re for it.
Romney: I’ve got the book. I’ll bet you $10,000.
Perry: I’m not a betting man.


I wish I had $10,000 in pocket change to toss out for a lame mundane bet. Most Americans would to.

EDIT - Of course Mormons don't supposedly believe in gambling. Unless a Texas Governor calls you a liar, then it's ok to offer a bet. But that won't be what will be reported tomorrow.
