Reagan Library GOP Debate

[Professor S]

Compared to the FoxNews debate, this is a shitshow. I think the candidates are doing well, but the moderators and production are terrible.

Did Ron Paul have an extra cup of coffee before the debate? He's more twitchy than usual. Its a shame, because while he was a bit extreme in the last debate he was also a strong advocate for his views. Not so much tonight.

Yet again, Romney is crushing the competition with graciousness while everyone snipes at Perry. His primary strategy is brilliant.

Santorum is doing a great job of damaging his opposition, especially Perry, but not scoring many points for himself. His best moment looked like an endorsement of Newt.

Newt is good, but he is angling for a cabinet position or VP selection right now.

I get the feeling that Rick Perry says "then you can have an intellectual debate..." when he wants to avoid having one. Overall, I found him to be very weak thus far.
