The format of the debates is awful. The only one so far that was any good as far as format was the one where they all sat around a table and discussed nothing but economic issues.

The 30 sec answer that gives the gleeful media a soundbite they can use against them is ridiculous and I don't know why any of the candidates agreed to this tired, worn out "gotcha" style of debate.
Funny you should mention it, I was just watching some of that debate - it was an excellant format, casual, with time allotted to express their view. This is the discussion where Cain says he thought Greenspan did a great job.

Yes, I doubt if they hosted a Democratic debate it would be anything like that.

John Bolton is helping him on Foreign Policy. Rick Perry said it, himself. I happen to think highly of Bolton.

Yes. Mr Bolton seems decent. I listen when he talks. But, as has been said, STRONGLY...today, all over news outlets, etc., Perry is Done!

Can John Bolton revive a politically 'dead' man?

No wonder why you think he can't win, you think only a fictional character has some magical power to help him...it all makes sense now.
