Here's my summary of the debate.
I was surprised to learn Cain had stage 4 colon & liver cancer. Its amazing he survived! However, that's a political killer, not that he had a chance.
IMO, Huntsman made strides. He wants to bring the troops home & rebuild America. He also has international chops & even speaks Mandarin. He believes in "science". He has made gains in NH, from 1% to 10%. Tom Ridge is supporting him. He's a long shot, but possible.
Mitt is a MUCH better debater than Perry. Mitt offers content & he looks presidential. He is more comfortable with himself than ever, on stage. Which is VERY important, he often came across as a phoney.
Perry uses "Texas" as his cure all.
Texas is Texas, it doesn't need Perry.
Ann Richards & GWB had better numbers than Perry.
Perry is flat footed, offers NO plan.
He's taking a beating wrt aide for illegal college students, immigration in general. Add Social Security & injections for preteens & I imagine the Tea Party voters must be disappointed, no matter how many executions he offers...
