I think Cain or Newt would make a great president, with the other as Vice President. Would love to see Newt debate zero. On the other hand Newt would be a great ‘Cheney’ for Cain.
We did.
Cain/ Gingrich would be a great ticket, because each man brings to the table what the other does not.
They compliment each other nicely.
They both did. The losers were named Romney, Perry, Paul, Bachmann, Huntsman, and (sadly) Santorum.
I admired Mr Cain very much. He didn’t try to answer questions he wasn’t sure of. He deferred to Newt to answer them. Not too many men or women would do this. He is intelligent enough to know when to pass the question.
Who won? we did. When the debate was over after Cain asked Newt if he were VP and a few laughs insued they both rose hugged and faced the crowd waving in a political rally stance. These guys are conspiring and it’s great. Cain/Gingrich 2012 I think im sold
I found two things interesting, first it seemed to me that the moderators were somewhat after Cain. Second the only standing O was when Newt said illegal should not be getting freebees. If Newt thought he could go soft on illegal immigration, last night surely changed his mind.
One last point, right now Cain is benefiting from the grass roots rallying to his side against a basely media smear job. That support is temporary so I expect Cain poll numbers to come down a little and Newt to continue to climb as he clearly demonstrates that he class of this field.
We won.
There’s never been a question that Gingrich is a far more knowledgeable policy wonk than just about anybody. The bigger question: can Newt get himself elected. His problem is that he has zero charisma. He doesn’t excite anybody. You can claim that pols shouldn’t be elected on personality, but the facts are personality counts. For example, I’m sure Gingrich would probably have bested Reagan is this style of “debate.” But Reagan had that something that excited people and made them get behind him. Gingrich doesn’t have that. A great answer man, but no leadership qualities.

Islam won, and will continue to win unless and until it is destroyed.
The People won, but I liked Newt the best.
At this point, I would like to see a Newt/Cain ticket. I believe these two guys would make a great team and both of them work their tails off to get our country turned around.
Cain 12.87% (897 votes)
Gingrich 68.05% (4,744 votes)
Neither won 8.72% (608 votes)
Unsure/No Opinion 10.36% (722 votes)
Total Votes: 6,971
Both men are intellectually competent and articulate. Cain is light-years more trustworthy. This should be an easy choice.
Not to bag on Newt’s debate performance or his message in general. Those were excellent. Glad to see the intellectual side of conservative getting some airtime.
