The Highlight of this debate came in the Beginning when Tumulty asked if people on Wall st. should be in Jail for the Housing Crisis and Michelle Bachman gave the Best explanation I have Heard in YEARS as to what REALLY happened with the Community Investment act and the Government forcing banks to LOWER lending Standards ,so if anyone should Go to Jail it should have Been Chris Dodd and Barney Frank,Newt followed up and was Fantastic,THIS SHOULD BE THE HEADLINE FROM THIS DEBATE FOLKS,THE FIRST TIME THE REPUBLICANS HAD THE BALLS TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS ABOUT THE HOUSING CRISIS.I thought Tumulty looked like she wet her pants,she thought she was going to embarass the Candidates and they kicked her in the Ass
I agree, Bachmann did a great explaination on the housing bubble, and that is why I give her #2. She didn’t hurt herself, eventhough the 666 play-on-words was pretty lame without specifics.
Newt was definately the smartest person in the room; and the suggestion that Dodd/Faggot should be investigated was outstanding.
