September 5th New Hampshire Republican Debate
September 5th, 2007 by inkslwc
My rating - best to worst - based on the debating skills, NOT how I feel about the candidate and his issues:
1. Huckabee - I LOVED when he just tore the crap out of Ron Paul (who is a nutjob by the way) - he came across as I believe the strongest candidate out of the 8 & very passionate
2. Hunter - He came out strong as well - again, very passionate
3. Tancredo - Another strong debate who was very passionate in the issues
4. Romney - And here’s where we get in to the mediocre candidates. Unfortunately, Romney, my candidate (although I like all of the above 3 - especially Huckabee) didn’t really do well, although he didn’t do poorly. In my mind, Romney, McCain, and Brownback were all sorta tied - they weren’t really active, but their debating wasn’t poor - just par.
5. McCain - again - not a bad debater, just mediocre - he had some strong points, but nothing over the top like the 1st 3
6. Brownback - again, like the last 2 - there was nothing really strong from him in my mind
7. Giuliani - “I fixed the crime in New York”, now on to Paul. OK, a slightly exaggerated joke, but still, does he have ANYTHING else to say? He debated poorly in my mind - he needs to move off of the fact that he was mayor and lowered crime - talk about other issues.
8. Paul - WOW! He got torn apart by Huckabee. I’ll see if I can (legally) get a clip of the argument - but I just loved the cheering afte Paul, and then Huckabee responded and this ROAR erupted.
9. Thompson - HE DIDN’T SHOW UP! This really hurt him in my mind - and I liked the little bash section at the beginning!
HOW THE HECK DID PAUL WIN THE FOX POLL!!!!!
