I shouldn't even chime in for I didn't watch it. Had company! But from the accounts I've read, it sounds like many of you agree that Perry is out. The only solid options are Romney, Paul and Gingrich.
Just from my knowledge thus far, I would say the country would be smart to elect Gingrich with his class, knowledge and unflappible personality. His Contract with America has not received the attention it deserved, but he comes out on or near the top in every debate. He stays away from the pettiness and anger. But we all know he has the baggage that seemingly makes him unelectable. But think about this. Does Obama NOT have baggage as well? Look at his record and investigations that are beginning now.
Romney is a stable candidate on domestic affairs ( less Romney Care), but how is he on foreign affairs. I understand Cain blew it tonight with just one question on terror suspects and negotiations. Is that just one small crack in a wall of naive foreign affairs and diplomacy?
Ron Paul has some great ideas but is he so complicated and confusing that he can be trusted with the most important job in the world? I understand he goes off on tangents and misses the target. Is that something we shopuld be concerned about when ytou think that is a familiar tone with our present president?
Perry, Santorum I wonder about the anger they can spew but not knowing much more about their debate tonight I can't go any further. Bachman sounds llike she just isn't ready for the Oval Office. Huntsman did not do himself any favors not attending the debate.
