Fiesty isn’t going to help him. He needs to pick up his tempo and minimize the dead air between connected thoughts.
sorry, connected points.
I agree. I've noticed the dead air pop-up in other appearances.
Yep. It’s painful. I had real hopes for him, but it looks like he just doesn’t think on his feet very well.
I fear that Romney is coming out well in this debate. That would drive me to vote 3rd party or just stay home.
If people voted based on these debates, Newt would get the nod. Alas, they don’t.

Bachmann: “I would go over to the Department of Education, I’d turn off the lights, I would lock the door”
I love it!
Santorum to Perry:
“And why should they be given preferential treatment as an illegal in this country? That’s what we’re saying.
(APPLAUSE)
SANTORUM: And so, yes, I would say that he is soft on illegal immigration. I think the fact that he doesn’t want to build a fence — he gave a speech in 2001 where he talked about, buy national health insurance between Mexico and Texas. I mean, I don’t even think Barack Obama would be for buy national health insurance.
So I think he’s very weak on this issue of American sovereignty and protecting our borders and not being a magnet for illegal immigration, yes.
WALLACE: Governor Perry, 30 seconds to respond, sir.
PERRY: I’ve got one question for him.
Have you ever even been to the border with Mexico?
SANTORUM: Yes.
PERRY: I’m surprised if you have, but you weren’t paying attention, because the idea that you —
SANTORUM: Well, the answer is, yes, I have.
PERRY: — are going to build a wall, a fence for 1,200 miles, and then go 800 miles more to Tijuana, does not make sense. You put the boots on the ground.
We know how to make this work. You put the boots on the ground.
You put the aviation assets —
SANTORUM: But it’s not working, Governor.”
Even the candidates, with low poll numbers (for now) bring a lot to the debate.
