Debate - Smaller names, big intrigue in first GOP presidential debate

[clearvision]

Well done debate. I did not really want to watch it, but it was interesting and good to see these guys before the media "hogs" get going.

Luntz focus group says Cain won.

 

I don't agree. Think he did really well but Pawlenty won it for me. Cain 2nd, Santorium 3rd.

Cain doesn't talk like a politician. Straight talker, is the feed back.

Weird responses. Cain by 80%. Part of the problem his he did not get asked any questions on religion, abortion, drugs, or any hard core "conservative" issues that I recall.

Cain came across as authentic, and a lot of these people didn't know who he was before.

 

I think he has the chance to be the "Maverick" in the primaries and wouldn't be surprised if he was under consideration for the VP nomination next year.

Thanks for this rundown, guys. Since I wasn't home and couldn't watch the debate it was interesting to read all your comments. Sounds like it was a more interesting debate than we expected.
