"Romney & Perry shot each other in the foot tonight" - CNN
Huntsman called them on it too. Bachmann getting credit for the win tonight. Romney and Perry are BOTH fucking lib shady crooks.
Bachman was solid for the most part. Probably one of the top 3 for sure.
Ron Paul was asked a really tough question from a political standpoint about the whole "30 year old in a coma scenario" and, agree with him or not, stood by his principles and answered the question directly while I felt that Bachman really danced around it but we've come to expect that from Ron Paul, he is obviously the most "anti-political" candidate out there.
I don't think Romney or Perry did themselves any HUGE favors tonight but from a pure mainstream American electibility standpoint I think Perry might have done a little more harm than good while Romney was sort of a wash because he just is what he is, basically a finished product who might not blow away the other candidates but surely will be a front runner til the very end, while with Perry you JUST don't know. He could shoot himself in the foot next debate and lose significant ground.
From a standpoint of "brass tacks" solutions I believe Herman Cain, Ron Paul and to a lesser degree Newt fared the best while the others have a tendency to be a little more vague in their solutions to the questions asked.
