I just watched the debate which I’d taped. I agree that the various attacks on Bachmann were not well founded, especially those that criticized her appearance. she looked great.

She frankly doesn’t have a chance in my opinion, but she sure got a lot of time last night. Perhaps the moderators thought she would stir things up a little and she did.

Newt talked so fast it sounded manic. He needs to slow down and sound more statesmanlike. He doesn’t need to tell everything he knows in every response. But he did get the most attacks and deflected most of them pretty well.

I liked Perry’s answers a lot but he was horribly ignored for much of the evening. I began to wonder if he was there ... they seem to be trying to destroy him by inattention.

Even Huntsman and Paul got more time and they are non-factors.

I didn’t think this debate was particularly meaningful. Most of those issues had been brought up before.

I thought Perry was particularly good on the border and the dangers of not only illegal Mexicans but terrorists being able to slip in.

I thought Newt was good on the tyranny of judges which is rampant and destructive in the country, and Perry’s idea of term limits for all judges is one I support wholeheartedly.

I think most of the candidates are pro-life and the rest is nit picking.

Glad I watched it because it’s so obvious that if one was already for Newt, he did great and so on.

Newt is glib and informed but I found myself getting sick of the sound of his voice.

I won’t be horribly depressed if he gets the nomination.

I think it may be down to Newt or Perry at this point and I much prefer Perry.

For last debate only top contenders should have been there. At least it does show; that ANY one of them is better than Obama; but of course, Repubs don’t just ‘any’one on ticket.
