nobel paez prize winner leymah gbowee going to be joining us on the program tonight. the pressing question is how do you know if you've had too many debates? here's a clue. saturday night's,000th republican debate was an hour-and-a-half. but cbs only aired one hour of it so they could still bring you, the viewer, a fresh n.c.i.s. rerun. cbs wanted people to learn something. about how the government can work. all right. but the first hour still provided an opportunity to follow compelling story lines. would gingrich's recent poll surge continue. does me saying poll surge make you think of herman cain? would rick perry finally think of that third thing? if you bet ron paul was over 0 seconds of speaking time, would you lose that bet? the answer is yes, yes, and... most importantly has mitt romney's study of humans paid off. could he manipulate his facial structure in such a way as to aappear to be listening to his opponents intently yet skeptically. no, that says more like i'm pretending i'm watching a puppy play with a ball. all right. this is i believe what i smell is
