Did you watch it on TV or computer? I had to watch on WaPo computer, and I am exhausted! I thought this was the worst debate yet. The format was all wrong somehow. Of course the reception on computer left everything to be desired = very poor video work. I thought the men who were interviewed afterward did well but no one was extraordinary tonight. Of course they were sitting in left wing territory! Perry was pretty good but a little on the defensive. Poor Ron Paul. His heart is in the right place but he just doesn’t have the ability to express himself very well. Mitt was positively robotic! They didn’t let Cain rebut, but he took it like a gent. Again, Paul was combative about the Fed. Reserve. Mr. Cain spoke from a different exsperience and pointed outthat when he served it was at a different time than today. Santoorum came across as someone who was going to be heard from tonight, and said some good things.
All in all I was disappointed, but perhaps the debate had been over hyped to begin with. I don’t know if any minds were changed. What was your take ?
I watched on computer on the Dartmouth Youtube channel. I will say that all the candidates are making the rounds on various tv shows and Perry needs to do that. He needs to talk one on one with OReilly, Greta, et al because the debate format just isn’t hitting.
