Fox / Google Debate

Last nights debate on Fox didn't reveal anything new but did show more depth in the candidates. I think Romney was the winner but Ron Paul won by a wide margin in the Fox online poll. Perry better get himself together, he comes off as akward and unprepared, not good, whoever is the nominee will have to be on his toes to debate Obama, no doubt, credit where due Obama can talk the talk but( that's all he seems able to do). This time there was a newcomer to the lineup, Gary Johnson, another former Governor that doesn't have a chance even though he did deliver the best soundbite of the evening. "My neighbors two dogs have created more shovel ready jobs then this administration." he said, great line even if he did lift it from Rush as it later came out. The discourse between Romney and Perry heated up with both arguing about what they have wrote in there books. I think Romney won most of the jabs but find overall the back and forth a bit distracting. Thinking back to 2008 the front runners were Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson and we all know what happened to them. I don't know if either one of these guys are going to make it, still to early to tell. I thought Newt did well again, always steady and to the point. Bachmann continues to backtrack, she just seems to rehearsed. Paul was great, love our crazy uncle! All in all a good debate, the moderators did a great job and kept the show going, giving ample time for all to respond. Off and running, on to the next one.
