Obama stunk at debates in his primaries. He got better, but is still just okay. Perry will get better, too. As for Perry and a short fuse, don’t mistake his being direct as a short fuse. They are not the same thing.

For all the claims of perry looking foolish in debates, one has to wonder about Cain. He certainly could have handled the 'rock' story better and there's this interview:

Cain on Stossel re: abortion

There are several videos/articles where Cain contradicts and makes one wonder what his positions really are and if he is as firm as he claims.
