I thought Ron did well until he talks about the war, I can see why people like him. Fred should have hit drilling more.
After watching that debate I have tremendous amounts of respect for Mitt Romney. McCain and Huckabee, the total slime that they are, kept defaulting to “flip-flopping”.
That was fun to poke at in the summer, but now issues are serious and those two simply can’t compete in that area. McCain hilariously stumbled all over the place on immigration as Romney pounded him.
I’m proud to have him as my #2 choice.
Someone's singin Lord, Kumbia....hmmmmm
I thought Fred did as well as anyone, but wasn’t fabulous. He sounded reasonable and thoughtful, and didn’t pretend to have the ultimate solutions to all the hard problems, but he did acknowledge the difficulty of some of the issues, and the fact that the solutions will not be perfect, and that Government solutions are often the source of the problem.
Mitt came across well when he spoke on specific policies, but let people rattle him. I don’t know how he might perform with the dem sleeze machine hits him.
McCain was looking for the cutesy soundbite and never found it. He scares me now more than ever, especially after hugging Hillary.
Rudy sounded sensible, but much of what he DIDN’T say is where I am concerned.
Huck was pretty much the same. He avoided explaining some of his more liberal positions, so he didn’t lose points.
Ron lost points on the war and the monetary policy, and will need to do more to convince people that it matters. His concern about the problems with creating a welfare state was his best moment.
