I saw nobody standing out as Mitt did in the last one. I’m waiting for Fred to get in this race. If not, then Newt. I like Hunter as the v/p.

I agree with the observation that nobody stood out. My other observations:

Rudy's like oil and vinegar - it's just not going to happen.

Ron Paul's the true conservative up there but voters don't understand or care for true conservatism (paleo-conservatism).

Huckabee went up a few notches in my book but seems too soft to go up against a raving liberal.

Tancredo did pretty well but he's probably the 2nd least electable, Tommy Thompson being the first.

Romney gained a bit but not much. Had the most detailed and interesting arguments (behind Paul).

Hunter was impressive, but like another poster said, always looks angry - maybe not dynamic enough - needs to show more range.

McCain is just a non-starter...he's riding his name-recognition as far is it will take him I guess.

Gilmore has the opposite problem of Hunter - looks too happy or sheepish all the time. Decent points though.

Brownback - speaks like Gore - too emotional, and therefore the most sincere.

Thompson - unmemorable

There were some truly funny moments - the one about Edwards expensive hairdo. Good one!

This debate much better than the MSNBC one, much better organized, more mature as mentioned before.

Ron Paul knows the constitution.

Most candidates did well. As a group they ‘tower’ over the Democrat candidates.

Illegal immigration discussion was better than none on MSNBC, should have at least been as long as Iraq discussion as Amnesty will be a big story in the Senate tomorrow!

The Big 3 are elites, to broad on Immigration, don’t seem to ‘zero’ in on the problems.

Hunter my favorite without Fred Thompson, I voted for Hunter in the Fox poll.

I prefer Fred Thompson................Overall
