FWIW, I thought Santorum looked the most 'Presidential.' I'm glad to hear you (and others) didn't respond well to Pawlenty. I don't know him well, but I'm not liking what I'm hearing.
Cain wasn't as impressive in this debate as he was in the last one, a few weeks ago. So I agree with your assessment there.
I thought Bachman was fairly blah, and it occurred to me too that she might just be shooting for a VP spot.
Ron Paul, as always, was excellent. However, we live in a nation of voters who don't know what's good for them. Whoever they wind up getting - it will serve them right!
I'm sure Obama would prefer to go against Bachman, Pawlenty or Cain. It's clear that the others could kick his butt without even working up a sweat.
