Left to right:
Santorum - Sincere, good on family values but a little reaching on Senate work - best seen as Senator.
Newt: Great in bunch of answers - best money line of night was HUGE smackdown of LameStream Media. Biggest to date.
Fills a vital role in these debates as bouncer.
Bachmann: Just.not.convincing.enough. Please don’t bring up the 23x7 again Michelle! On point and brought divisive MSM questions back to point attack on Zero. Good for that.
Mitt: Always looks like passing gas at a party. Other than that, once the jousting with Perry was done, actually gained my respect for standing up for Perry when moderators tried to gouge Perry’s wounds even further. Not bad on pro-business + Bain Capital defense.
Paul: Well, the usual. Once or twice actually gave him kudos for saying LSM’s false premise of pro-market = cold-hearted - actually said articulately that being pro-market and pro-liberty are good for individuals and poor.
Cain: Most well spoken I’ve seen of him in a long time. Been practicing his coherence. Very articulate and strength showed when talking business. But that’s it. Oh yeah - couple of good zingers at Zero.
Huntsman: Something about this guy I just don’t trust. you could almost believe some of his lines - some. But he did it for me when at the end he said AGW is settled science and ‘FACTS’ of evolution as in a light of calling others on stage kooks.
When Univision guy came up - most did reasonably well with answers - and I was impressed that knowing who he was and the audience he’d report back to, they stood their ground on securing the border and cutting off welfare to illegals. Good for them.
Where is Perry?
