“Pretty aggressive if you ask me...”

Sorry, Romney won that “round” with Perry, IMHO. First, by putting his hand on Perry’s shoulder and Perry acceding to this, he sent a strong visual signal that he was the Alpha male in the exchange. Second, he got in a few deft zingers, reminding people that Perry had not performed well in previous debates and also pointing out (correctly) that anyone who aspires to be president has to be able/ready to listen to the other side. For a public deeply aggravated by how poorly Washington works, I think that message likely resonated.

All in all, Perry came across as a spoiled little kid, hammering away on a weak argument. I think most Americans understand that if you hire a lawn service, you’re not expected to know the immigration status of every employer they send out to cut your lawn.

Perry was surely feister last night than in previous debates, but net net, I don’t think he helped himself since too much of his feistiness did not look particularly presidential.

Which excludes Romney right there

He better head his own words and drop out...

Romney has a history of arguing with people and only validating what he himself has to say...

Hes always right...

others are always wrong...

I think you should listen to Romney being not so “presidential” in his inability to shut his trap in 2008:
