    is the only one making the slightest bit of sense to me.

    *EDIT*

    Mike Huckabee is also okay - for the most part, for a Republican.

    The rest suck.

    I completely agree. Huckabee is genuine and a nice guy. I wouldn't vote for him, but I like him.

    As for Ron Paul, I think he's the kind of person the Federal government needs. Well, we need a lot of people like him to reduce the power and corruption that is currently endemic in Washington. I would vote for Ron Paul over Hillary Clinton if somehow that were the choice.

    I have to agree with that.

    But I also have to say, I hope it doesn't come down to THAT choice.

    Ron Paul made the most sense to me followed by Huckabee. I have to agree with you Kenny. Ron Paul is the best solution to the problems facing our federal government. I like the fact that Huckabee supports the Fair Tax, reducing the size and power of the federal government, and providing a political solution to Iraq, not just a military one. In my opinion these two where head & shoulders above the rest of the group.

    Great job Ron Paul! It's sad that he got about 5 questions while the higher-profile candidates got dozens in a foolish format.

    But I was shocked to see this poll this morning:

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18436681/

    Ron Paul is winning in most of the positive categories. Please take note, Republican party, and abandon your socialist candidates.

    Tell me about it. Most of the time we had to spend watching Rudy and Mitt flip and flop and back peddle on abortion or watch McCain loose more dignity as he tries to re-invent himself as Bush lite. I would have loved to have heard more from Ron Paul. Untill I see who the Libertarian Partyu will be running I'm sticking by Ron Paul. He just seems to be the best candidate for this country at this time.

    Wow...check this out:

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18421356/

    Click on the "RATE THE CANDIDATES LINK" and then check out Paul's before/after numbers:

    BEFORE: 9% positive, 47% negative
    AFTER: 36% positive, 28% negative

    Very unscientific numbers and comparison, but at least somebody's paying attention.....

    It's funny that after last night Ron Paul jumped to the highest + ranking on the msnbc.com poll. I was really impressed with him last night. A couple of things that stood out to me, I felt like Nancy Reagan should have stood up and pulled out a classic saying to Mitt Romney, "I knew Ronnie Reagan sir, and you are no Ronnie Reagan". It's okay to honor the guy but I felt like stood out w/ always trying to through the name out there.

    Also, McCain came across very stiff and acted like a crazy man in his opening statement. A man that could have once had my vote (and I'm a hardcore Democrat) has sold himself out to the far right and the hawks and it's a shame.

    Rudy didn't impress me much, but he didn't turn me off much either, which in a debate like this could be considered a tiny victory.

    Mitt Romney reminds me too much of Hilary to even consider voting for... They are both too rehearsed, pre-packaged, and their positions language seem like the came right out of focus group research.

    I like Ron Paul's answers a lot too... Huckabee interested me as well. I don't agree with him on a lot of social issues, but he seems honest and a decent person (as much as a politician can be).

    McCain doesn't seem to have a chance... he has just way too many negatives to make it.

    Is it just me or does Romney remind anyone of a Republican John Kerry? I mean the look is kind of there, the delivery, and some other things I'm too tired to remember right now.

    Here's what popped out at me from the whole debate:

    Can you believe 3 of them don't believe in evolution? I would expect maybe one of them, but THREE?

    Mitt Romney came off as an asshole.

    Guiliani came off the best I think, in general terms.

    Boy you could tell that no one really gave a shit about anyone but Romney, McCain and Guiliani.

    They sure want to make themselves out to be Reagan II .


    It was entertaining. I like the way what's his name hosting was cutting them off too.
