bill: how do you do that? sometimes have you got to take it. bill: wrap it around his throat? what s the gumption? you have got to take it and show some strength. you say, you know what? finish your point and then i will finish mine. bill: that s what he is trying to do. don t stand there and beg anderson cooper to help you. i thought it was good. i enjoyed the debate. bill: i m sure that s why cooper let it go because it was good tv. i have to disagree with you. i think romney did it the right way there. if it were me, i would have said listen, anderson, are you going to stop this guy or do i have to? that would have rattled putin. that s what i would have done. if i was perry, i would have said to mitt romney you know anderson cooper is not going to be there to help you in the oval office when the going gets tough. bill: herman cain obviously we all knew that they were going to go after him because is he on fire. sure. bill: what do you think happened to mr. cai
bill: impact segment tonight, right to the purveyor of dick morris.com who was tweeting during the debate last night and strong thoughts on what happened. morris joins us now from denver. tweeting, hey, morris? did you ever think it was going to come to this when you were tweeting? i post comments as the debate goes on. bill: yeah, i know. tweeting. i have a video on my site. bill: of course you have a video. of course you do. now, who won the debate last night? romney. perry lost decisively. nobody likes a dirty fighter. and when perry made his charge about the illegal immigrants, everybody gasped and sort of held their breath because they all knew it was immigration that romney used to take perry down. and then, first, when romney said i never hired an illegal in my life and laughed we all thought there has got to be more, tell us more. then when he went through the explanation that you just summarized it was clear that he was fine. it was clear that he did great. i mean,

to 28% and the economy exploded for 20 years of prosperity. that s what would happen if 9-9-9 were to happen. bill: something along those lines, cain is correct something along those lines has to happen and i hope it does. dick, thanks very much. can i pick a fight with you? bill: what. can i pick one small fight with you. bill: 30 seconds. money won t matter. what is going to matter is the debates and fox news coverage. the money will follow that. bill: i disagree. i think money is going to matter in south carolina and florida big time. but, you know, morris and i always disagree he has been feeding with me for years with dinners i have won. a look at the republic debate from the democratic side fair and balanced. then dennis miller has some thoughts about what went on last night and it should be interesting. it s up ahead.
is that true? and then dennis miller has some thoughts on the demonstrations and on last night s republic debate. we hope you stay tuned to those reports.
