Who do you believe won tonights debate?
Honesty please
He blathered on about cutting support to Israel to make them self sustaining. He sounded like a professional anti-semite. He was a total embarassment.
Romney and Perry didn’t do themselves any favors with their bickering. I was thoroughly expecting them to start sounding like PeeWee Herman.....”I know you are but what am I?”
Newt’s just very good at his profession.
Cooper LOST!
hehe... he lost control of the debate
But Perry was clearly the biggest loser tonight.
Isn’t that what these debates are about now???... who’s the loser??? Who’s gonna get hammered? Who is going to take a big drop in the polls so the voting momentum with shift to another candidate to justify more funding for polls???
In defense of Cooper, I would say that he did not come off as a big liberal trying to phrase questions to trick the candidates or guide the issues... but the format was clearly designed to set off fireworks between candidates, and in that respect he got a partial win.
I was relieved to see Newt take Cooper on in that respect in the end.
Santorum always manages to come across as a whiny sorehead. He reminds me of the smart first grader that no one likes.
However, Newt bombed when he debated Gore on global warming. I wish he could cure himself of sucking up to Democrats. As he has on occassion with Gore, the Clintons, and Pelosi.
He's not ready. As it has been said, the Presidency is not an entry level job. We should have learned that with Obama's election.
>>> Cain doesn’t come across to me as all that substantive.
You should watch some of his speeches.
He knows his stuff... he just isn’t given much of a chance in debates to prove it.
For me Cain won then Bachmann did pretty good at various times. Her best debate performance. Then Newt came third on account of everyone else being lackluster. I see it like Palin saw it. Palin kept saying Bachmann did well on Fox News. I just think Bachmann has few detailed disagreements with Cain at the moment. So I doubt it would be a good ticket to pair them up unless they can agree. Bachmann is dead set against 9-9-9 which Cain dead set on passing. That is the situation. So right now I don’t think this debate changes much in the polls.
Cain and Newt - no doubt.
Cain and Newt - no doubt.
OK so no Cain. So looks like Bachmann is the best but isn’t polling worth squat - so looks like we are stuck with Perry?
Newt no longer lives in Georgia.
He lives in Great Falls VA or Potomac MD.
I value your opinion a lot, and based on most of the other comments on this thread, tend to think you are probably right on the money.
Thanks for posting, I'll try to catch a re-run.
I politely decline your assertion.
Cain’s ready enough for me.
Yep, Perry sure acted like an adult tonight...oh wait...
Newt
Who won the debate?
I’m a Herman Cain supporter but I have to say, as usual, Newt actually won the debate. I was a little disappointed in Herman’s performance in defending his 999 plan ... I could have explained it better than he did!
Newt (We are all so familiar with the guy we call him by his first name.)
Cain
Romney
Perry
Paul
Santorum
Bachmann
