very good format overall

Huntsman is the candidate that comes along each cycle in both parties that is the most sane, reasonable, and impressive, that won't get enough party or grass-roots support to fill a thimble
Perry and Cain were exposed as lightweights and mostly over their heads on national security issues
Bachman actually pretty sane and on message in this debate, unlike others I have witnessed
Ron Paul, as always makes some outstanding points that no one else will touch, while also pushing some rather lunatic ideas.
Romney was pretty presidential and made sense on most fronts
Santorum should go back home, no depth, no traction
Gingrich looks and sounds intelligent, which he is, but he is an ethical non-starter.

just for fun - and just my unworthy opinion, and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the management or posters on totv.
By the way, opinion is neither right nor wrong - just one persons perception - if yours differs, let's see it.
