Good assessment, I think. Cain was embarrassing to watch, and Paul, Huntsman and Santorum should just stop cluttering up the stage.
Bachmann was pretty good on a couple of things and her presentation has improved; I could see her in a Cabinet position, as you suggest, because she seems to get the big picture but at the same time she knows the details. Even Romney, whom I do not like at all, seemed better; he is obviously trying to sound more conservative, which is probably not to be believed, but at least he had coherent answers for the questions. Perry did surprisingly well, although I didn’t need the occasional campaign pitches he interjected. Gingrich, on the other hand, was excellent all the way through. Really excellent.
I didn’t find Cain embarrassing at all: I thought all of his answers were fine. But I think the fix is in for Romney. I can’t imagine those two SC senators being for anyone else.
