New Hampshire Republican Debate Winners and Losers
Winners:
-Mitt Romney- won Romneycare against feckless Pawlenty, looked polished, nobody got in any particularly good points on him despite all the flip flops in his past
-Michele Bachmann- quite a few blatant lies but par for the course for her and her supporters won't care, polished speaker, bold stances
-Rick Perry- Pawlenty's failure once again shows he can join as a viable opponent to Romney unless Bachmann takes that role
Losers:
-Ron Paul- couldn't put sentences together and made too many complicated points, didn't have the same libertarian "that makes sense" appeal he has in past debates that will attract voters
-Tim Pawlenty- Bachmann's good performance and his bland performance combined with his utter failure on attacking Romney should hurt him, Mr. Process of Elimination doesn't seem that good compared to Romney
-Sarah Palin- Bachmann is Palin without all the baggage and Bachmann is much better at combining truths and lies effectively to make her political points, this should be the end of a Palin candidacy if she's smart
-CNN- "This or That?"...seriously. It's sad when FOX News did a better job at journalism than CNN in a debate
Meh:
-Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain- didn't do much to help their cases, likely overshadowed by Bachmann in the crazy wing of the party
-Mitt Romney- won Romneycare against feckless Pawlenty, looked polished, nobody got in any particularly good points on him despite all the flip flops in his past
-Michele Bachmann- quite a few blatant lies but par for the course for her and her supporters won't care, polished speaker, bold stances

Herman Cain Says Obama was Raised in Kenya
Once again, Herman Cain speaks without knowing anything. This moment joins the list that includes confusing the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, not knowing what Right of Return is, suggesting we build a Great Wall of China on the Mexican border, saying Muslims can't serve in his administration, and saying he wouldn't sign a bill longer than 3 pages. This is what you get when a true outsider tries to run for President. (TheAtlantic)
