I think Gingrich got a "A" for successfully dodging the draft 3 or 4 times.

I thought he took out Newt pretty well. Santorum not so much, but I think he bloodied him a little bit. Of course, RP was the only one who actually made any sense on the economy, but I don't think he put it across as well as could have. I don't think the audience understood most of what he was saying. When he talks about the debt they understand, and he got in a little about that. I wish he had gotten in more.

[Jeremy Tyler]

Him getting an A sounds about right. I swear some of the people in other threads seem out of it when they say he did not give good answers in this debate. He was nailing them!

[JuicyG]

Have to disagree with C Huntsman got. I think he scored much higher as he was given only softballs. This might show in NH polls.

people here are like watching their kids at a piano recital and dying inside if their timing is off. Honestly, you go to other people's web sites and it is all 'Good job!' 'What a wonderful answer!' We're not so easy as supporters..

Now! He has a long term plan that is working! GO GO GO

Newt, Santorum, and Perry were awful in the debate.

Agreed, I am confused about the Newt "A" other than he really is a good bull$hitter and makes him look like a good debater.

that's because we listen to EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE OF THE MAN SPEAKING! :p

So, we'll be a bit more critical :)

Rick Perry... let's go into Iraq AGAIN.

[BeauGeste]

does anyone know a place where I can see the debate? or at least the RP highlights?

[Liberty74]

I hate it when people vote or think someone is smart based on "performance" which is basically delivery system i.e. how well someone speaks v what someone actually says.

I watched the ABC news last 20 minutes online where they talked about the debate with 6 additional critics including Marilyn (still married to sea serpent head?). She actually thought Santorum did very well and said she would be shocked if he is not in the top 3 now in NH. But everyone thought flip flop Romney won. Sure on delivery but on substance? I just don't see it. The guy blabbed in all generalities on the issues. I guess this is why this country is so screwed.

I would have given Ron a B+.

[ItsTime]

b+/a pretty close to the same thing. Ron rocked the answer when he called the others wanna-be kings

[tttppp]

Rick Perry... let's go into Iraq AGAIN.

At least he didn't mention the no fly zone over Syria.

[BringBackLiberty]

Giving Newt an A baffles me. Also I'm not sure if Mitt Romney answered any questions? Mitt is extremely good at dodging whatever is being talked about. Seems like the reason he doesn't get attacked much is because he doesn't have a distinct opinion on ANYTHING. Ron Paul did great, got me real excited for things to come.

[Liberty74]

And I was hoping he would tie that Commander in Chief all into that the President takes his orders from the Constitution. And that everyone up there on stage in some way or another had already committed treason and they aren't even elected yet.

[tttppp]

By the way, Santorum's comment that the president is not a CEO or a manager was incredibly idiotic.

he did when he basically called them all KING GEORGE! HA.

[happyphilter]

Of course Perry got an "F". Jesus. He actually wasn't doing bad until he said he wanted to GO BACK into Iraq.

[ItsTime]

Newt gave the impression he`s knowledgeable and knows what he`s talking about. He handled quit well the "chickenhawk" part. Basically made the case he was raised in military family, had good connections with veterans, had plans to use taxpayer money to make whatever veteran friendly investments and so on.
He also made the case he knows his business on foreign policy, arguing that by taking out Iran you solve Iraq. Gave general impression he`s knowledgeable. He also cracked a decent joke about Obama to lighten up the mood. If you can make people laugh, you win them over...so over all I`d say he did good.
He also mentioned catholic church and how they`re "persecuted" which might have scored him some points with catholics and other social conservatives. Paul didn`t score many points tonight with social conservatives and I`m afraid he didn`t score many points on foreign policy either.

First time I`ve seen Newt in this campaign was at the Bloomberg debate, where he killed it. Had a great performance. He just knows how to make strong and credible statements.

[camp_steveo]

Newt got an a for asshole

Thanks for the laugh!

[ItsTime]

Newt lost the exchange about the draft. Ron basically destroyed him when Ron said he had a wife and TWO kids and still served.

[JuicyG]

Not sure I agree with that. Paul gained some points with that strong comeback. However Newt compensated with promising stuff to veterans and he was pretty specific about it, gave the impression he has specifics planned and that he`s well connected to military and that it runs in the family and all that. He also mentioned that was part of some council which dealt with taking down Soviet Union. All of these more than compensated in the eyes of many viewers, I`d say.

[Maximus]

By the way, Santorum's comment that the president is not a CEO or a manager was incredibly idiotic.

Especially when his support comes from former Cain supporters, who loved Cain precisely for that reason.

I don't agree. If it's one thing that conservatives don't like, it is a wuss. Ron Paul did pretty well exposing Newt for the big chickenhawk that he is.

Notice the HUGE gulf in reporting between local and national media outlets

local outlets are largely pretty fair

national outlets act like subsidiaries of the RNC/DNC

Clearly this was made by someone who didn't actually watch the debate. According to the "experts" Mitt Romney is undefeated in these debates.

Santorum, Gingrich, and Perry were horrible in this debate. Anyone who can't see that needs a new profession...and probably shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Halperin is a neocon and a regular public speaker at AIPAC conferences. He's incapable of grading Paul fairly for that reason.

[ItsTime]

Lolol at perry getting a B

He shoulda gotten a C for chickenhawk. :p

Speaking for myself, and from my personal experiences, when I was in the Army, we HATED civilian instructors. For the precise reason they were civilians trying to tell soliders how best to accomplish things. I would say that for any military, whether active or former, Newt's defense of "I was a TRADOC advisor" doesn't get much traction with those service members. Reading Sun Tzu's Art of War in a history class, while your daddy was serving, does not make someone Rambo.

I don't think it's fair to embed the video, bypass their site & ads, while Ron scores an "A" from them.

What a lucky guy! Gets the credit when things go well, but is ignored when we finish 3rd in Iowa.. or thousands die in a tsunami.. or my devoutly christian mother dies of cancer.

Don't turn this into a religious war. If you want to hate God, that's on you. But, you could look at it this way, your mother is no longer suffering from that horrible disease. And if she was as devout as you say, she is with God. You should be happy for that. JMO.

God works in mysterious ways!

[KingNothing]

Oh shut up.

How Christian of you.

His point was valid. People are quick to heap praise on God, which can at times seem like a slight to people who have worked very hard for any success that has been earned.

But, this being a playoff Sunday in the NFL, why don't we ask the most important religious question: Why did Jesus decide to stop betting on Tebow!?
