Gingrich did the best by far.
The exchanges between Perry & Romney were just juvenile and reflected poorly on them both. This is the first debate I’ve watched, and I’m a little shocked that this is supposedly Perry’s best showing.
Santorum did a good job of drawing blood from Romney. Had some good answers.
Cain held his own and flubbed 1 or 2 answers.
Bachmann tried to rise from the fray by going after Obama instead of others, but I think she ended up receding in the background.
Trust me, he set the bar so low in the last few debates that this was like a powerhouse performance. And he still looked like the might keel over mid-sentence with brain overload from searching for a difficult word.
