Debate Predictions

[KramerDSP]

With 30 minutes to go, what are your debate predictions? I say Ron gets 5 questions max, but will deliver another memorable debate moment or two. I also think Pawlenty attacks Romney and that Cain will stumble with an answer.

Here was my prediction in another thread:

Here's the pre-debate summary:

Cain - "poll-tested soundbites that republicans love (no follow-ups, please)"
Romney - "Both sides of every issue, but Obama is bad"
Pawlenty - "What Romney said, except kinder and more boring"
Bachman - "I'm a tea-partier! Yeah! That's what we're all about!!!"
Gingrich - "I have all the ideas... Trust me..."
Santorum - "God says you should vote for me"

Paul - "What the hell are you guys talking about?! We have real issues here."

Bachmann goes flat. Maybe.

Ron Paul gets zero questions about the economy.

[PaulConventionWV]

Bachmann goes flat. Maybe.

Hopefully.

I predict a stacked deck of questions.

Edit:

What I mean by that is the questions for Ron will require more time than allowed to answer.

I guess I can't watch it... not on TV? The fuck?

Unfortunately I don't think Paul's performance won him any new voters and that Bachman did the best job of both providing articulate answers and pleasing the crowd. Big time screw up at the very end when Romney said that housing prices need to be higher.

Well, it appears I was pretty much dead on with my predictions... If there were any surprises, it was probably Pawlenty. I thought he'd just copy Romney, but he actually copied a little from each candidate. To me, it seemed like he was making a calculation to draw support a little from each camp.

Of course, this will be an utter failure, but the media will keep making him think he's got a chance.

Oh, and screw Santorum for mentioning that he used to live in Butler, PA. I guarantee you he is NOT representative of this town!

Most accurate prediction, imo. :)
