2012 GOP Nomination

Not a bad debate. I wish there was only 3 maybe 4 people on stage so there was more time, but overall not bad.
 
Overall, this debate was good. I really liked how there was a continuous exchange between the candidates and sufficient time was spent on real issues. I think it helped that there were only six candidates onstage instead of the eight we have been having. I really wish Bachman would just get off the stage, but that's just me.
 
People will make a big deal out of 'the bet', but in reality its a non-issue. All he did was call Perry on his accusations and did it in a way that was meant to show he was serious. I don't think he was saying that 10 grand was chump change, I think he picked a serious amount to show that he was serious about Perry being wrong.

Was it a miscalculation? Probably. But not because it was a bad statement but because people will misconstrue it and misrepresent it.

How many of us have been in an argument and said something to the order of 'I bet you a million dollars it was 1986 that we beat Miami and not 1985!'?

Now, I can't stand Romney and think it would just be hilarious to see his hair catch on fire while he is giving a speech, but I just can't see that this should matter to anyone. Even though it will.
 
The latest polls show Gingrich widening his lead against Romney in two of the most important early primary states, South Carolina and Florida. However, the same polling shows Obama winning both states in the general against either Gingrich or Romney. The shocking one is South Carolina, where Obama lost to McCain.

Makes you wonder if all of the GOP infighting and the sense of dissatisfaction with the field expressed by so many GOP voters is starting to really boomerang on them.

The lesson to be learned here is that you have Romney supporters and then a large number of people that simply want anyone but Romney. For someone to be the media anointed front runner, you would think that this guy would be the one expanding his lead, not the flavor of the month (Gingrinch). We've seen these guys bounce up and down the last 6 months.
