I think you will see Romney have to actually compete in this one since he hasn't been challenged much in the other debates. He has been able to slide before, now it starts getting interesting.

I agree.. this is Romney's moment to turn things around. As lesser candidates start to drop out of the race, voters will probably break for Perry. (I don't see Romney picking up many Bachmann or Cain supporters.) So Romney is going to have to try to shift the momentum here or get used to the idea of candidate Perry.

I really hope you are right, I would like to see it, at least, a little interesting, but I do not like the mud slinging. I like the 11th commandment that Reagan used all the time. To me, it will get interesting when we are down to 3 or 4 candidates. I don't look for that until early next year.
