    Nah, it will either be Newt or Perry (or if neither of them 'wins' Romney will win the debate by default).

    1) Newt has come into the spot light the last few weeks and has the opportunity to address his critics in the media and parry a few shots from his competition.

    2) Perry can 'win' by doing well and erasing his earlier blunders.

    The rest of them can't really do much. Romney just needs to show up and hope Newt implodes, but he himself can't win the debate. Ron Paul will still be Ron Paul. The same goes for Bachman.

    Oh and any of them can do something stupid and hurt their campaigns.

    I say Santorum because he's worked SO hard.He obviously deserves
    it by sheer number of counties he's been to.
    Conversely,Huntsman should be embarrased to even be in the State.

    Strange, Huntsman is the most QUALIFIED candidate to be President... including the current President.

    I'm dubious that Perry can walk and breathe in and out at the same time. The libs say he is Dubya II. I'd say George is a lot smarter than than.....

    Conservatives do not like Huntsman because he believes in Science.

    He's also a social liberal, but he's the best fiscal conservative in the race.
    Which is more important to the country?

    Social Issues! Gay's Ruin the Economy!
    He is anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage.
    He is a moderate Social Conservative.

    Huntsman is a polished joke.Yes,he appears solid and steady and
    ready for a debate.But he lacks toughness.If I want a Puppy dog
    President I'll call on him.
    He's like a the Puppy Dog { bird dog } on a Quail hunt.
    Looks good and has nice teeth,hair and shine to his coat,but the
    Boy Can't Hunt.
    Nuff said.

    Do you know this?
    His approval rating was...80% when he left office.
    Now I would rather have Obama win (let the bashing begin) but he is a close second.

    Ps. I hate how you type.

    Holy crap, Clinton had a score of 1032? Heck, I got 1380 on the SAT.

    I suppose you don't have to be that smart, you just need to know how to lie convincingly. I don't think people are very good judges of what constitutes intelligence anyway.

    Well, he has executive experience, being a governor and all, and foreign policy experience, being an ambassador to Singapore and China. Who else has this experience?

    He is the best qualified candidate for President.

    There are many types.
    Socially Smart
    Book Smart
    etc...
    The country was well under Clinton, like Reagan, both were good presidents.

    Clinton was a traitor, he sold military, and nuclear, technology to China for campaign contributions, what he didn't sell he let them steal. He's still collecting from the Chinese through his foundation. After all, the Chinese owe their success to Clinton, he gave them "favored nation trading status."

    I know you may be a bit confused.But I think it would help to
    state WHO " He " is.
    Unless it's yer pastor.Obama had that problem once upon a campaign.

    Excellent debate. Good questions. Newt may be history... he got hit hard with the Fannie & Freddie debacle. Even Michelle zinged him pretty good.

    Gotta say... again. In spite of all the crap we're fed by the media, the GOP's really fortunate to have this big a field of qualified candidates. Any one of them has more sense than Barack Obama... including Rick Perry.

    *shakes fist @ FearandLoathing*

    Perry is OK,but he isn't used to debating.Which means a President
    will have to have debating skills that overshadow all else.
    I don't necessarily like that.That eliminates a lot of Great Americans.
    And could easily promote a lot of base Political animals no more
    truthful or competent than a shady used car dealer.

    Or a performing monkey on a string like we've got now.

    Romney's loosened up a bit. Ron Paul's head might explode. LOL, he's nothing if not passionate about his views.
