As a boxing match Newt G. won because of clean, sharp, powerful punches. His defense was silence and then the sureness of those masterfully potent punches. The awe an opponent has of you is a defense method.
Cain got honorable mention. Cain was a quick-puncher, his types of punches somewhat limited in number. The 999 and the 999 and then the 999. But it’s a Dempsey-esque paradigm gut busting “shovel punch” of a punch. Cain also employed the weak-hand the deflectatory “Economist Lowry” and “Federal Reserve” punches at times as a adjunct to his defense method — that method being quickness and firmness.
Romney and similarly Perry were classic style boxers. No surprises, well-trained. Romney wore out the audience by over-talking, yap, yap, yap, yap. His effect was lost in a cloud of yapping dust. Perry just never got in the ring much, and when in the ring had no special hero sauce to share with the voters looking for a hero. He looked like another in a long line of older white males with dark hair (for whatever reason to have dark hair at that age) and a business suit. IOW, boring.
Paul has some really strong punches, but he wanders into and out of the ring at will, sort of hard to see such a man as a national President.
Bachmann clearly worked on appearance and voice, and both improved, although she always looks great, last night she looked like a real leader. But ... her messages drifted and lock-in on and emphasis on ideals wasn’t there. The audience (me) can’t handle hearing endless repeating of parts of the Michelle Bachmann story. Put the ideals out FIRST and then brand them. She has that cart and then horse, putting her personal and political story in front of the ideals.
Santorum added to the debate with some fine displays of great responses, but he also by desperation “I’ve had the least time to answer” validate his non-serious contendership.
There was another man there, but he is like some random “meeting ballast” you’ll see managers drag into meetings at time to make the meeting seem bigger.
Ron Paul caught Cain is a flat-out lie when he said he didn’t want to audit the Fed. His videos saying this are all over the internet.
Cain IS the Establishment that is causing our present problems!
Cain is part of the problem! Yet he wants to “fix” the problem? I JUST DON’T BUY IT.
He seems to have no agenda and yet he gets all of this money and support. How? So do I trust him? NO I DON’T. AND I NEVER WILL.
Are we surprised that this character has been exposed as a liar and a prop for Romney. Let me give you Herman Cain’s answer to any question about America…..9-9-9. What a joke….go back to the FED or selling pizzas. Like all the idiot neo-cons he thinks if he says something with authority the sheeple will believe him….even the most outragious things, like a 9-9-9 tax plan will save America. Stay tuned for the latest episide
of the “Willard and Herman Good Time Show”. That’s what these debates have turned into.
