Tonight's Winners: Cain, Romney, Bachman (in that order) Tonight's Losers: Perry & Huntsman
Everyone else was kinda' "meh."
What do you think?
Also...If you loved Herman Cain’s debate performance tonight…you’re gonna’ love this!
It's the first ever conservative cartoon of it's kind!
Isn’t Perry getting a “C” an absolutely smashing victory for him? Or are we grading on the curve?
Cain handled himself pretty well as a new "frontrunner" but is staking a lot on 999--it was news to me that perishable food will be taxed. I do like his bold thinking, however.
Romney did just what he needed to do - not hurt himself. That said, he's still a weasel.
Perry was better and even had strong answer but was effectively ignored now that he's no longer the piñata.
Romney slipped Chris Christie's endorsement in there. The camera even briefly showed Christie at one point. Romney's soft ball to Bachmann was transparent.
Ron Paul's best point was that no one should act like it was all in the past two years. He's not the only one pointing it out, however. It's important the candidates feel free to criticize W's spending habits.
All that said, I think Obama wins reelection.
ROSE: Senator Santorum?
SANTORUM: Romney's before me, R.
ROSE: No, I'm sorry. You're right. Governor Romney?
(LAUGHTER)
Very good. I — I missed school that day.

GINGRICH: Think of us as your...
(CROSSTALK) (LAUGHTER)
ROMNEY: You'd think someone from PBS would know that.
