To be honest I think it's pretty funny that everyone was so interested in watching Perry (who I like) and Romney (who is unelectable) battle it out in the debate. Romney spewed the same crap he's been pushing all along how he was a "successful businessman" (there is some question about that) so he's the only one qualified to be President and then simply attacked everyone else for their assumed failings. He did not, of course, mention that the State of Massachusetts was far worse off when he left office than when he became governor.
Perry, on the other hand, showed considerably more grace. Romney would attack and Perry would respond in kind but with a gentle touch.
For my money the only real entertainment was Newt Gingrich. He is the one who actually was relaxed enough to show some sense of humor and the only one with the balls to tell Brian Williams to stop trying to create a fight between the several candidates.
Beyond that, the debate centered around "I made more jobs than you" and "My state is better than yours." It really seemed as though Gingrich was the only candidate who actually responded to the questions asked.
Bauchman acted like a clown with her own agenda having nothing to do with the debate. All I heard from here was "I was the first congress person too...." Santorum and Huntsman should not even have bothered to show up. They gave the appearance of stick figures standing there for no reason other than to take up space. Ron Paul should simply go back to whatever rock her crawled out from under.
So who won? In my book it seems as though it was Perry and Gingrich. Romney came across as a crybaby with not much to sell. Bauchman sidelined herself with her inability to stick to the point. We will see in the future if I am right or not.
