Watching the Republican presidential debate
Some impressions on the candidates:
Huckabee-it’s a real shame he’s considered 2nd tier. He’s a smooth orator who nails his points harder then Bill Clinton nails interns.
Romney- He’s doing nothing to embarrass himself. He’s smooth, hitting his points and defending himself well.
McCain- He looks tired and bored. He did make the smooth move during the sit down part of the debate in getting up to address citizen questions. Others are following his lead there now but McCain did it first.
Tancredo-looks out of his element on any issue other then immigration. Love the guy but he deserves the 2nd tier status.
Paul-looks like he’s campaigning for the Democratic or Libertarian candidacy. Very isolationist.
Thompson(Tommy)- other then health care reform he’s not coming across like he deserves to be there.
Brownback-hate his idea of a 3 party federation in Iraq. It’s doomed to fail if we try. Comes across smooth, and he handled the question of “would you support Rudy and his pro-choice stance if he wins the nomination”. He had a real chance to slam Rudy. He took the high road and said he would support the candidate of the party.
