OK, having watched the highlights, I do wish that they'd spliced in the question so we know what he was answering in the 2nd answer (and maybe kept Bachmann afterwards -- it looked like she might be replying to Ron?) and that they'd kept in whatever lame response the Grinch made to Ron's 3rd answer.
So if there's any better version that comes along, feel free to post it. My thoughts on the debate:
Again, the first answer was strong. The question was an attack, but the substance of Ron's answer turned it into a total positive, focusing on his strengths in the economy, civil liberties, etc.
Really great answer to the 4th question (earmarks) by the way, good job, Ron.
What a bizarre idea they brought up in the 5th question about closing down courts. Is this suddenly an issue? Bizarre.
Fine answer to favorite Supreme Court Justice. None of the Above is usually a good call, and definitely is in regards to the black dress gang.
Very courageous and truthful answer on Iran, as expected. And wow, the shill keeps trying and trying to attack him on it.
Bachmann exchange: WOW! He made all the good points, he totally annihilated these clowns with the truth. How are you going to strengthen the military if you don't have any money to do it? Ha! Bachmann final word: "As President I stand on the side of peace, for the American people." What are you talking about, bubblehead?
Very nice on the last question about attacking fellow Republicans, too.
