Santorum....Great
Bachmann....Great
Gingrich....Strong (Knows how to debate regardless of reality)
Romney......So-So
Paul........Good on the Economic issues, looney on FP
Pawlenty....Strong (some good highlights)
Cain........Great (made the responses count)
Overall winner: The GOP. We might actually get a good conservative out of this.
Not a bad grading. I agree with you.
I agree strongest were Pawlenty and Gingrich.
Yes, the MSM meme that Obama is a giant and the GOP candidates are dwarves should have been thoroughly erased from the minds of anybody who watched or listened.

I thought they all did well in the time frame they had to answer. I was proud of them all.
I agreed with a lot of things all of them said.
I agree. People got to hear a lot of good conservative ideas: we need to get the government off our back to get the economy going; the failure of Obama; etc. I thought most all of them did well.
I was pleased with Santorum, Bachmann, Pawlenty, and Cain. They all did well. Pawlenty's weakest moment was when he didn't follow through on "ObamneyCare," but other than that, he gave a lot of good answers. Santorum, Bachmann, and Cain all showed they belong, which was a big plus for each of them. Bachmann did especially well.
Gingrich and Romney held their own, Gingrich better than I expected, Romney less so. But I would not vote for either of them in the primary--they both lack credibility.
Paul just takes up time.
