Dirtboy cannot seem to control his disappointment that so many people thought Perry won the debate over the silver-tongued dude.

I was simply asking him to drop the vitriol as we kinda pride ourselves on this thread being one of comity.

But, yeah, he can say what he wants. I won’t respond to him again.

I always like to remind people of the 2000 Mark Steyn column. Being rightly skeptical of debate analysis and polls on who won the Bush-Gore debate, he decided to call random Americans.

Inevitably the conversation went like this:

STEYN: Who won the debate?
RANDOM CITIZEN: Gore
STEYN: Who are you going to vote for?
RANDOM CITIZEN: Bush

As Common Tator often said, debates are about who is the most likable candidate. In other words, when an Oval Office speech is necessary, who would you most like seeing behind that desk on your TV?

People need to think about this when they judge debate performance.

I see you can't be bothered to ping me when you trash me.

Hardly a surprise.

Here's a hint - it ain't my fault Perry couldn't be bothered to take a few minutes to be prepared to align his response on the eight justice comment with what his campaign was stating.

And it is hardly the first time Perry has been unprepared. All of your lame spin and attacks on me will not change that fact - and it is fact, as reflected in Perry's continuing weak polling.

And for all of your trashing of Newt, he IS prepared for debates and interviews. Try getting Perry to emulate that instead of trashing those who point out that Perry isn't doing his homework.
