I thought Perry sounded stronger tonight, but he must not be pulled into the bickering contests with Romney. That is NOT presidential.

Stay on message and don’t be distracted by the hosts who want him to look bad and the other candidates who do also. I loved it when he practically told Cooper to stuff it with his questions. LOL!

Actually, Newt was the best performer. His long political career gives him a certain comfort level, and he’s not afraid to tell it like it is. He is never going to be president, though. Too much baggage. TOO much the insider.

I have to slightly disagree with you here. I thought it was about time someone drew some blood on Romney, and Perry, Santorum and Gingrich all did a nice job going after him. I agree that most of the focus should be on this issues, but I thought it was absolutely appropriate for Perry to call Romney out on his hypocrisy over illegals. And Romney got caught in a lie over it. There’s plenty of time in future debates to focus on substance, but I’ve been waiting 8 debates to finally see Romney bleed. Did it drag Perry down to be the one to do it? Maybe a little. But in the long run, I think it will be worth it. The more Romney is exposed as the phony RINO that he is, the better.

BTW-I was quite disappointed that Bachmann (again!!) failed to lay a glove on Romney, and even protected him by interrupting Santorum while he was making some hard-hitting points. I don’t know what’s up with her. I like her position on the issues, but she’s clearly a Romney staking horse.
