Poorly structured debate.
Worst debate yet! Moderator stank bigtime. Asks complicated questions, incendiary questions, and wants sound bites in return. Worse, the idiot question: What would you do, as president, if terrorists were found to have nukes? Waiting for someone to say Duh! I’d shift a brick! Who wouldn’t?
And that’s all they’d have time to say.
Conclusion: Cain had low expectations here on foreign policy, and didn’t look too bad. Romney and Gingrich have done the most homework. Santorum made no sense, and I liked him up to now. Perry got snarks even from Lindsay Graham, but he did fine. Bachmann is looking better. I still have no use for Huntsman or Paul. Despite the subject matter and the opportunities it afforded, nobody did exceptionally well or exceptionally badly.
