Funny - you and I got very similar reads. Only thing I left out which really surprised me was compared to the polling and hoopla past few weeks about Perry, and even though it was a bloodsport against him tonight - he seemed a little too shakey a number of times. Won’t forgive him for the H/T to Zero. Idiot stuff.
Yeah he did ok but not spectacular. He does get huge points though for taking strong stands and not backing down, especially on Social Security. As far as a debater IMO he gets a pass since this was his first and he got piled on but came out relatively OK.
His record is still hit and miss but to get whacked on like he did and not break helps him even if he wasn’t spectacular overall.
