Bachmann showed she wasn't afraid to whip out the claws and a couple of ax handles to swing. She is persistent. Still not sure the country is ready for a woman president, or that she's the one.

T-Paw was not comfortable in his own skin - kept reverting back and repeating his tired script of his record -" I was the best this and that. I did this and then that." Mistake to have attacked Michelle in the manner he did. Made him look like a small man. Didn't handle it well at all. Embarrassing actually.

Cain had a couple of good lines but pretty much took himself out in my book. Fine to stress the business background, but that's not going to cut it and it made him look limited.

Santorum is a light weight. Reminds me of the kid who everyone walks fast to get away from because they don't want to be associated with him. Spoke in sound bites and rehearsed bits. Tries too hard to be convincing that he actually believes what he's saying.

Gingrich is really good and I really hope he stays around to keep the conversation focused. He doesn't stand a chance but what he has to say is important and hopefully he'll make the other candidates pay attention and address his points..

Ron Paul really disappointed me. Too fierce with the "We should mind our own business." Did you forget? We were attacked while we were minding our own business. Dismissing the threat Iran poses with its nuclear program makes him too much of an ideologue to be seriously considered. He would make a weak president with his attitude toward the military. We need someone who puts protecting the country and military first and foremost. You can talk yourself blue about the Fed but you're not going to change anything anytime soon.

Who am I forgetting? Oh Mitt in the Mittness protection program. Had everything all nicely laid out. Got his 8? points ticked off very professionally. Smooth. Polished. Great Hair. Great Smile. Good Posture. His suit fit.

I hope Perry turns out to be what I hope he is. Would love a Perry/Rubio ticket. Shoo-in IF Perry is what the scuttlebutt says he is.
