Good point. I thought Rudy looked like a deer in the headlights with that question.

And what was up with Mitt? He looked like a drunk that had just rolled out of bed and into the debate. Messed up hair, crooked tie, looking a little nervous, standing strangely, scratchy throat.

If I didn’t know better, I would have thought he was a human being.

Focus groups told Mitt’s lawyer that Mitt was “too polished.”

I didn't see much of the debate, but I was surprised at Romney's performance. He ended one statement/question with an unintelligible sentence, then looked panicked at what he had done. I've never seen him look so rattled.

Paul looked nutty, as usual.

Hunter, in the brief time that I saw him, did well.

Thompson was serious and had a good grasp of the issues. As usual, he seemed the adult of the group.

McCain did fine, although I didn't see much of him.

I didn't see any of the others.
