Well, I just finished watching the debate and I think Bachmann won and Perry came a close second.
This was by far the best Perry debate and surprisingly, Ron Paul also did very well (not many questions on foreign policy).
Bachmann’s “Newt Romney” line was brilliant. She said that both men agree too much with Barack Obama to be effective challengers and she’s right.
The segment about marital infidelities was probably very damaging to Gingrich. Perry came down on him very hard and he was right about what he said.
Well, that makes one of you.
One of the worst things about Bachmann is that she makes a good point but then rambles on for way too long. She zinged Mitt and Newt more than once but she just goes on and on and on and you forget what she said at the begining.
“The segment about marital infidelities was probably very damaging to Gingrich.”
Do you really think that anyone did not already know?
“Bachmann - Did a very good job with her “Newt Romney” speech saying how neither are true constitutional conservatives. Unfortunately, I felt any momentum she was gaining was shot down by Santorum’s comment that she never actually achieved anything in the house, losing all of her battles. In other words, she is as ideological and consistent as Ron Paul but with a similar record of legislative achievements: zero.”
That is the best description of Bachman I’ve seen, all Walk and no Talk.
Most of the questions, especially this one, was intended to get the candidates to attack each other and ignore Obama.
Sawyer and Stephanopolous specifically let Gingrich go last.
Perry took the bait on the fidelity question, but turned it into an attack on Obama for the Palestinian question.
I disagree. I listened carefully to that question and all the answers. In fact, Newt’s infidelity weighed heavily on me. Not after last night, though.
Michelle sounds like a broken record. And that is sad, as I really, really like her. She sounds shrill.
Perry redeemed himself a bit, but making it through a debate in which you were mostly ignored isn’t something to brag about.
Romney came off as a small, spiteful man. Sad.
All in all, Newt was the clear winner, despite the MSM darlings coming at him with their knives drawn.
I had a hoot watching last night. I laughed, I yelled out...it was a great debate.
Only you and a few of your like minded sycophants could have possibly taken those impressions away from that debate.
Newt ruled last night. Perry came in second. Its beginning to look a lot like Newt.
