Uhhh...

There's a rumor Santorum is gonna be using his great-grandfather's name from here on.

Mitt has said some good things but the gang of Ricks and Michelle are taking a chunk out of Mitt Romney.

Did Michele just use the royal we??

She dropped my favorite Jesus blast.

Reaction: Horrible debate for Mitt, Gingrich held his ground, Perry and Paul performed well, Bachmann and Santorum didn't break through.

Gingrich - A-
Perry - B+
Paul - B+
Bachmann - B-
Santorum - C+
Romney - C

Flip Newt and Ron Paul and you'll have it right.

I'll also make a statement - I don't think Gingrich is the most intelligent candidate in this race. Neither is Romney. Paul is, in my opinion. If only his views were slightly more in line with mainstream conservatives, he'd have an even more serious shot at winning the nomination.

The party is starting to go in his direction. Newt needs to watch because Ron is right behind him and could overtake him if he missteps.
