DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz says Rick Perry's forgetful moment at Wednesday's debate shows how "shockingly deficient" the entire 2012 Republican field is. We thought there was only once candidate in the race without strong convictions, Mitt Romney, who seems to be all over the place depending on popular opinion at the moment. Now we

President gave a political speech at the National Women's Law Center's Annual Awards Dinner last night, charging that Republicans do not care about women and would like to "turn back the clock" on the work achieved by women.

A Michele Bachmann town hall was interrupted by Occupy protesters who used their trademark action of repeating what the leader says. Here's what they said: "This will only take a minute.

Newt Gingrich discusses debate performance and why he's the best choice for Republican presidential nomination. "I do think it’s important to recognize that the real audience is not the news media, and it’s not the other candidates. It’s the American people.

“If we’re electing a debater in chief, then don’t elect me,” Rick Perry said. “We’ve got a really good debater in the White House today; two and a half million jobs lost, foreign policy is in the tank; we have a president that from my perspective is an absolute disaster for our economy in this country. He is a great debater.”

From last night's "Daily Show" with host Jon Stewart (exchange starts near the 6:10 mark): Pelosi: “We have to recognize that we have two different paths here.

MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor, TheGrio.com: "I said this before and say it again. It really is about the soft bigotry of low expectations. If Mitt Romney had made the kind of policy gaffes that Herman Cain had made, we would be excoriating him today. Look how we are talking about Rick Perry and his flub during last night's debate. If Herman Cain
