Hunter is the one for me... I don’t need to do any more shopping around.

Not that this is the fault of the candidates, but I think Fred will be glad he missed this fiasco. Stupid stupid questions.

Mitt and Hunter impress though.

Thank you concerning Ron Paul. A bunch of “are you smarter than a 5th grader” are on board here tonite.

Ron Paul is hard-core - like a founding father type. too bad the country is beyond saving.

Different people can see the same event have opposite reactions. You see George Washington and I just see a rules-based moron.

Except for the fact that he patently blew it by saying we should zero tax certain INDUSTRIES, instead of saying something clearly about unconstitutional government...however, he’s done well with the tax question.

Hunter has been clear and decisive on every question.

He's done good!

Brownback wants to take the current tax code out behind the barn and kill it with a dull axe. That’s a pretty good one. Nicely done Senator!

Fred is an actor. Mitt is a doer.

Again, Hunter making a great point, the stupid trade agreement driving business out of the USA.

But they came across far batter than the Democratic debate. Frightening if any of those would become POTUS.

Huckabee has a bad record of letting criminals (including rapist and murderers) out of jail if they claim that they have been “saved”.

Am personally fighting that battle in Arkansas now.

Good analysis, I agree. I would rate Hunter and Romney as the top two!!!

I won’t vote for any ticket that has Romney on it, any more than I will for Rooty.
