I agree 100%.
Cain supporter here, but Perry was darn strong this time around.
There were a few attempted Government-Controlled MSM gotcha's, though, as we knew there would be.
However, truth be told, Mr. Cain did not shine on foreign policy as much as I wished he would have, and in comparison with two or so of the others up there. So having said that, (and I am not a "yes man" in corporate life, and I would tell this to his face, and I hope his people listening here!!!!!!), God love him, but that great, lovable man Herman Cain has GOT to hire somebody ASAP like Amb. Bolton, bring him on his bus, and have 2 hour disciplined tutoring sessions DAILY on foreign policy issues w/ open source intelligence reports on a morning daily basis, to drill down deeper and past the "I don't know, I will hire the best minds to tell me." This is a weak spot and Obama would exploit it and it is unsustainable. It is an area where Herman Cain in fact can excel since he is the turnaround man. I know he can do it. But it simply MUST START FROM TOMORROW MORNING. I don't mean maybe. I have said it before, and I will say it again, for his own darned good.
(Fellow Herman Cain supporters: Don't shoot the messenger now; this is all said and observed objectively for his own good and quality control and upgrading his creds and grasp).
Probably Gingrich won this one as well, being fair. I think the biggest loser was that asshat Ron Paul, and maybe whiny Santorum and Bachmann Overdrive following him (Huntsman of course, too). Perry recovered, but had some illogical, Texas-Shoot-From-The-Hip Red Meat approaches on some aspects (Pakistan) that will not cut it IMHO. I was VERY disappointed that NORTH KOREA did not come up, the country which may very well next attack the United States and our allies in the Northeast Asian Regional theatre.
