My guess would be that since it was a "Tea Party" sponsored debate..that the crowd was a "Tea Party" crowd.
The crowd was an interesting dynamic in this one for sure. Booed RP hard on the 9/11 answer...Booed Perry on In-state Tuition for illegals and HPV vaccines for girls... I think the best answer of the night was from Newt...after all the governors argued over who created more jobs, he talks aobut the jobs created while he was in Senate, but then said something like, "But, we didn't create those jobs, the American people did"...he hit a homer with that one, and should probably echo it everytime one of the governor's claimed to create jobs.
