Who won?

[Senator Snowstalker]

Making this prematurely.

[Rep Pyrofox]

Huntsman's best performance yet, in my opinion.

[Lief]

Winners: Gingrich, Perry, Huntsman

Losers: Romney, Cain

[Simfan34]

I did.

[greenforest32]

Newt

If he keeps this up Iowa and South Carolina is his. New Hampshire just has a crush on Mitt even though he wasn't their Governor. Pathetic

[cavalcade]

I can't believe I'm going to say it.

Rick Perry.  WTF.

Then Newt, Santorum, Bachmann, Huntsman, Paul, Mitt, and Cain in that order.

[N.i.K.]

Gingrich, with Huntsman in second. Romney was mediocre, and as a frontrunner, that is terrible.

[Wonkish1]

Newt!

[FloridaRepublican]

Zomgz teh endzz of Romneez campaign!!11one!one

[Yank2133]

1.Huntsman
2. Newt
3. Perry

[Likely Voter]

Huntsman was great and certainly the one who sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

Paul was great if you lean towards civil liberties and non-intervention, but for hawks he sounded like a crazy man.

Gingrich was good but I wonder if he damaged himself with his reasonable stance on immigration and not advocating rounding up 11 million people.

Romney as usual talked out of both sides of his mouth. This may have been his worst debate yet.

Perry had best debate yet.

Bachmann continues the crazy, Santorum was OK and  Cain was clearly out of his depth.

[Simfan34]

Gingrich is a good debater, and so that won't be his undoing.

[A-Bob]

Gingrich could have made a slam dunk if his immigration statement was as pleasing to America as it was to the crowd in the room. It's about time we try hard and seriously to win the Latino vote. LOL CNN is saying it will hurt him even after the room cheered for Newt. Gotta love reporters spinning thinks with serious faces. If he stays where he is or moves up after the debate, he just created a huge opportunity in the general election.

Huntsman did well, I don't think he came out on top as some of you, but he did do better than previous debates.

Cain is a failure. He knows nothing of national security.

Ron Paul will never go up or down ever unless he changes his values.

Bachmann is a fool so we can forget her. Wake me up when she doesn't spend her entire time attacking another GOP candidate. She's the pestering little 4 year old sister trying to play with her brother's 17 and 18 year old friends.

Santorum did well but his speech was sometimes slurred.

Romney...eek. He was messing up facts even. "$4.5 billion a year in Afghanistan"...mmm no, we spend a whole lot more than that kid.

Perry I still think is pretty dumb, but it was a whole lot better than oops. He talks so slow while collecting his thoughts.

[Mynheer Peeperkorn von Thurn und Taxis-Hohenlohe]

Even CNN is saying that Paul won.

Romney was a failure, probably the end to his campaign,

[NHI]

Romney/Gingrich

[Thomas D]

Gold: Newt
Silver: Paul
Bronze: Huntsman

[A-Bob]

Even CNN is saying that Paul won.

Romney was a failure, probably the end to his campaign,

As much as I'd like that, Romney would need to be charged for corruption or treason or something to end his campaign before Jan.

[NHI]

Romney will be just fine.

[Mynheer Peeperkorn von Thurn und Taxis-Hohenlohe]

Romney/Gingrich

Ah, the Romney fan. Your tears are delicious.

[Bacon King]

Gingrich: Strong and solid performance, but his immigration ideas might come back to hurt him in this primary. A-
Huntsman: His best performance yet. B+
Perry: Fairly solid, haven't seen him do this will yet. B
Paul: His best debate so far as well, finally toned down the "rambling old man" talk a bit. B
Santorum: Pretty decent, but never really had the spotlight. C+
Bachmann: Meh. C-
Romney: Got flustered badly early on, but chilled down enough at the end to save himself from a total loss. C-
Cain: Incompetent as ever. Gets a bit of extra credit for "Blitz," though. F+

[Senator Snowstalker]

Compared to other debate stumbles, this is nothing. This was Romney's worst debate, but it won't hurt him too badly compared to Bachmann on vaccines, Cain's apples and oranges, and I forget the third one. EPA?

[Governor Scott]

Ron Paul and Charlie Sheen.

[Mynheer Peeperkorn von Thurn und Taxis-Hohenlohe]

Even CNN is saying that Paul won.

Romney was a failure, probably the end to his campaign,

As much as I'd like that, Romney would need to be charged for corruption or treason or something to end his campaign before Jan.

Who knows.

[Speaker Dereich]

For the first time, I think Newt won and Romney did poorly. Both of their answers really bugged me, Newts less so. Ron Paul was really on his game, but won't be winning any friends.

[ChairmanSanchez]

1. Paul A+: Right in substance, but not style. Needs to tone the rambling down. He was GREAT on the drug issue, he needs to perform like that on all questions.

2. Huntsman A+: Very much like Paul, but he was not rambling. He did not make anything memorable though, so he by default is probably second.

3. Perry B: Perry had his best debate, but was weak in his attacks. He should of jumped on Romney on issues like immigration.

4. Gingrich B: He is a very, very smart man, but is running to sell books and speeches. I think it is VERY stupid to release your covert action plans, which proves to me he is not serious.

5. Santorum D: He openly admitted to racial profiling, which is politically toxic in a general election. He was not as aggressive as usual.

6. Bachmann F: She is awful. She has no reason to be running, she pretends to be a "Liberty loving Republican" but she is just trying to be the successor to the dying neocon (see Rumsfield, and Cheney) faction of the party.

7. Cain F: He does not know what he is talking about.

8. Romney F: He was overaggressive, and is dead wrong on foreign policy issues. He tried to make a joke early on, which was humiliating, and he was really angry throughout the night...
