Wow- you hit the mark! I agree, esp. the points you made:
1. Romney - clear winner in his duking it out with Perry; made himself sound to the right of Ronald Reagan (he needs a reality check here); very composed and quick witted and looked at Perry when he was speaking to him; went thru his plan in an organized fashion, unlike any of the other candidates. He will likely overtake Perry in the polls real soon.
2/3. Cain/Gingrich - tie for common sense approaches and quick wits but not much opportunity to expand on their plans. One of them (preferably Newt) needs to go and endorse the other guy. You’ve heard of the great white hope - well without Palin, Cain is our great black hope.
Yes, definitely on target. One exception (kind of) re: Newt & Cain...I do like Cain but if I had to choose I think it would be Newt. I’m still not 100% sure Cain wouldn’t make a goofy misstatement or get outhustled by Zero during the debates.
