New Hampshire Republican Debate

[Bond]

Potentially seems that way ... Bachmann is surprisingly impressive (granted I did have extremely low expectations). This probably won't happen, because it would be too Palin-esque, but she would be a good running mate for Romney or Huntsman.

So far everyone has come across pretty strong. Pawlenty looks like he is getting comfortable. Ron Paul sounds very knowledgeable, if perhaps repetitive, about monetary policy. Santorum has taken several opportunities to insert himself into the debate and capture valuable face time. I'd like to see the minutes per candidate so far. Romney doesn't appear to have many questions coming his way.

I'll be brief, since its hard at this point to say anyone is a frontrunner. Overall, everyone did a decent job.
