I disagree. I think that Romney and Cain have charm and charisma.

Romney has a little less charm than say....a game show host.

I need to digest this whole thing for right now. I'm not impressed that Sean Hannity doesn't seem to be inviting Ron Paul on his show for a post debate interview as he seems to have invited everyone else. "Fraid not Hannity. I feel like going to bed and not watching the rest of the interviews (unless I could be sure Ron Paul was going to be on). However if he is at the end, he may leave the lasting impression for all who are still watching.

I do like the fact that there were some tough questions asked. Newt Gingrich did seem to steal the show at times with his long details.

Ron Paul got some zingers in though about if Rick Perry joins the crowd he'll just be another main streamer and others.

He's running for the GOP ticket though. I'm saying I'd vote for the Libertarian Party candidate if somebody like Bachmann gets the GOP nod.

Also read today that Perry will enter the race so maybe he will be able to cut Romney lead. Looking forward to the straw poll.
Ron Paul is leading on the Fox poll too, Gingrich in second and Cain in third.

I like Cain in a lot of ways, but IMO he's not ready to be POTUS.

True for the mainstream candidates. Cain and Santorum have both, but they are wildcards.

Well, we saw what charisma and charm, not to mention hopeNchange brought us in 2008, didn't we?

I love this from Newt...and he's right.

Instead of having a clear debate on the issues, the media is only interested in "soundbite" journalism.

I wouldn't mind Herman Cain, he seems sensible at least in the debate.

Exactly as I thought -- no Ron Paul. Way to go, Fox! Non corporate candidates need not apply!

So in other words he couldn't answer the question, so he had to change the subject and attack out. Sounds familiar huh?

Too bad they couldn't ask him about the sanctity of marriage while they were at it...

Pretty funny how he uses McCain as an example...last time I checked McCain LOST....guess you missed that too?
