and more highlights from the entire debate (8 minutes):
The open mic laughs are from Giuliani, who still hasn't gotten over getting Pwnt with facts by Paul in the first few debates.

Fox News Channel also had a "who won" text vote after the debate. With almost a million votes cast, here were the results:
Neocon hack Sean Hannity said Paul supporters were "dialing and redialing" to skew the results..
What he didn't mention was that is is IMPOSSIBLE to do this. Here is what happens when you try voting more than once...Ooops! No rigging!

found another fan-made video on Youtube...There are some awesome quotes from Paul in here:

Ron Paul owns. He shows us the Republican Party has lost touch with what it originally stood for, less government. He's got my vote.

I know, he actually made it clear the true intent of staying in Iraq was just to save face and honor.

Seriously, how the hell is Ron Paul going to become a President? Is it really possible? I am placing bets against him, though I am his huge fan. And I better lose, because I have never lost a presidental electrocal prediction before that I have annouced ... If Ron Paul wins, well, I want someone to mention this statement that I just made, please ;-)

Not to worry - another new actor has just come in to act "presidential" for them.

I am just curious, but I have a question. If Ron Paul doesnt win the Presidential elections, and actually even doesnt get the Republican passing to the election show, what would you guys do? What actions would you undertake and will you try to voice something out far-reaching that politicians will hear?
The reason why I am asking is that I think Ron Paul is led and supported by the core underground pro-Constitution powerful people who have sworn to protect it, but he is battling high odds and if he is ditched here, I dont think another candidate like him will ever emerge, because many people will be either discouraged or think its not going to happen. I think the dark forces are looming over the horizon to take USA away, and Ron Paul is the last flicker of light to save the country and its Constitutional democracy ...

The Libertarian Movement will live on and continue the hard work it takes to obtain power.

If Ron Paul ever does drop out...I hope he will encourage all of his supporters and anyone who truly believes in the Constitution to throw their support behind the Libertarian Party. They may not have a snowball's chance of winning in 08'...but if their base is large enough, the other parties will be forced to co-opt libertarian positions if they hope to win elections in the future..
Socialists did the same thing back in the early 1900's.. The socialist party in America was becoming quite popular, and the democrats, fearing becoming obsolete, decided to take much of the socialist platform and make it their own...This is what gave us federal welfare, medicare, social security, a steeply progressive income tax (up to 91% under FDR, etc), tons of new government agencies, etc. Basically the entire New Deal was an extension of the socialist platform.
The socialist party candidate didn't make it into office, but because of overwhelming grassroots support for their ideas, nearly the entire socialist agenda was passed into law by a "major" political party. Hopefully we can accomplish the same thing by building a LIBERTY-oriented movement...focused on reducing government power, defending the Constitution, and giving people more control over their lives.. It's just a matter of educating people and building support on the grassroots level. If our numbers get large enough, there is no way the two-parties can continue ignoring these issues.
