Lol, pretty hard to ‘catch up’ on a debate thread but I am proud of Rick Perry. He was great tonight and got some rounds of applause.
Those who criticize his slow speech must be unfamiliar with other ‘cowboy’ types like John Wayne and you even reminded me that Reagan had the slower speech. They are used to ‘fast talkers’ and fast talkers can slip things past you.
Obama is thin skinned and he makes many pauses and ‘ahh’s’ when he talks. I also think he would get flustered when someone refutes what he says, when someone criticizes what he’s done or hasn’t done.
Agreed.Perry did very well tonight.

Tonight Rick Perry was confident and composed and did not get rattled
He talked “to” the voters and was not arrogant or condescending
If you watch - many just talk “at” the listeners
If I hear someone say “well as a historian” when someone brings up lobbying for the big bucks -
I will have to open another Corona!
Some people cannot - or will not - look at or examine their own “history”
