Why didn't FOX have them on their staton with the FOX moderators as the hosts?
It gave Americans a chance to see the characters running - so far - and to get a very brief look at their views.
I would still like to get the viewpoints on Michelle Bachmann being upset that children are required to have vaccinations before attending school.
No one put their foot in their mouth. No gaffes. Big winner, in my viewpoint, was Jon Huntsman with Mitt Romney coming in second. Santorum was definitely dead-last.

John Huntsman was handled with kid gloves for some reason. The liberal commentators must like him a lot, as you do. Unlike everyone else he was not challenged on any topic and only given open ended questions on which to pontificate. They were so sure of him they even gave him a question asking him to bash the others near the end. Very astutely, he refused to comply. He's about as Republican as you are.
The only good points the candidates got in was accomplished by ignoring what the 2 liberal commentators were trying to get them to say and saying what they wanted to say about their candidacy. (I guess I should say 3 liberal commentators including that guy from Telemundo who tried to get the candidates to say something damaging to themselves about illegal immigration.)
