No, I won't be giving a play by play. LOL!

As far as I know - Bachmann, Herman Cain, Gingrich, Ron Paul, Pawlenty, Romney and Santorum. I like Herman Cain and Bachmann out of this bunch.

so who won the debate? I think Pawlenty won. I was impressed with Bachman's 23 foster children.

I like Pawlenty, seems to be handling the pressure well, his answers seemed balanced and well thought out.

Ron Paul in contrast is wild eyed and emotive. The former speaker of the house comes across weak and radical.

Herman Cain seems like a man of character and good positions, but not sure he is seasoned in public life enough to hand all the different pressures of the office.

Mitt probably could do a good job, his Mormon faith doesn't bother me, but he may have given in to the global warming crowd.

Sure, she is a conservative and valuable to the cause, however I don't think she is seasoned enough to handle all the pressures with the office.

*yawn*

Not really interested in any of these candidates, and it's a bit early to care about what they have to say.

I liked everyone, but feel that Romney is more establishment than anyone present. So, I can't be happy with him. He pulled a politically correct answer on the Muslim issue. Herman Cain was straight forward and I'm glad that Newt chimed in to take up for him. Which, Newt was actually putting out his point, but it did help Cain.

Newt is so stinking sharp on issues. He knows his stuff, but I'm afraid he's done. He did look a lot better at this debate than what the media has been putting out.

I've read that some thought Cain was weak, but I didn't think he was at all. However, I still don't think the American people will go for someone without experience in office. He will be put somewhere, though, when we get Obama out.

The only two people, IMO, who have the guts to stand up and put forth policy, repeal bad policy for the American people would be Bachmann and Ron Paul. They would go the distance on any issue. However, I don't think many would want to vote for Ron. He does scare them a bit and I just don't know what he would do on every foreign issue policy. That scares me. LOL! Bachmann did a great job as well. She may get stronger. That will be very interesting to watch.

I liked Santorum, but I don't think he can get the nomination.

I really did like Pawlenty. He did a good job. So, I think he impressed me more than anyone else. I'm expecting he will poll above Romney.

I like your style and totally agree....don't be scared!

I would only add that I would trust that Bachmann would do exactly what she said she would do.
Newt hit it right when he said it wasn't just about the presidency, it's about getting the majority in both houses as well.

That's why BO should be taking alot more heat then he does. He and his party had a 60 vote majority in the senate and the majority in the house and they still would NOT pass a budget, but that's how they rammed Obamacare down our throats.

I thought Newt was very impressive, despite my hard feelings towards him.

I think Cain runs the risk of making himself unelectable unless he tones down his right-winged talking points.

Bachman was impressive too. The Democrats need to see her as a valid threat, because she is.

Bachman is no Palin-- and that's a VERY good thing!
