I saw there was way too much time given to only a few of the candidates and obvious questions only asked of certain ones.
Don't you think all deserve equal time and the right to answer the same questions.

I agree with you.All should have a chance to answer the same question.I think there was favoritism there.

It was a bit unbalanced but they did a better job of getting the second tier in then they did with the Democrat debate.
Biden for example did very well in the Dem debate but if he had equal time with the main tier he would have probably gained some traction. He is a knowledgeable candidate (more so then the rest of the Dem party candidates that were on that stage).
Paul should have had a little more time alloted him in this debate (Tancredo did well in the time given him though, as did Hunter and Huckabee).
Tommy Thompson, Sam Brownback, and Jim Gilmore, should get out of this race...none of them has a chance and they offer nothing to the debate.

If MSNBC can throw Chris Matthews, a okay conventional liberal, into the hoop to be the moderator for tonights Republican debate. Then why interior the international could Democrats be nervous of partaking in a debate the place somebody like Alan Colmes or bill O'Rielly replaced into the moderator? definitely it boils right down to the Democrats being to nervous of the questions they could be asked. you do no longer see the Republican applicants no longer showing up for the controversy this nighttime as a results of fact MSNBC is internet hosting it.

I agree with you, and I was angry! All the good questions were given to Romney, Giuliani, and McCain. Ron Paul was almost totally ignored.
Notice that, even though Ron Paul only got to answer a few questions, every answer was followed by applause. Ron Paul is great.

I think it was very balanced, but keep in mind there are 10 candidates and its very tough to make everyone happy.
I'll tell you this though, it was much fairer than the Democratic one on Sunday.

Did it look like Mitch Romney was chafing at the bit, like he running in place, looking to break out to the head of the pack.
John McCain looks like he was going postal, and was would take no prisoners. I know he has suffered much as a prisoners of war, and we as a country own him our undying gratitude, but he is a little to much intensity for me

Definitely... I think they are afraid to give a person like Ron Paul an equal opportunity to answer questions. They are noticing how much people are beginning to like him! He sure has my vote!!!

Well, sure, but you're not going to get "fair and balanced" toward Republicans from a liberal, Democrat news organization.

Ron Paul got the least time, and had the most applause.
Fair?
Mostly yes.

It was unbalanced. Only one or two of them made any sense.
