Ron nailed it. And I certainly did not think that after the last debate. But this one, he hit it out of the park.

The booing at the end was sad, not for Ron Paul, but for the complete ignorance of the audience. But I think it was a great moment for Ron Paul. Truly exceptional. He is willing to stand there, and tell an audience that is booing him the truth. That says more than you ever need to know about his character and honesty.

I think the average viewer (or, I should say, hope) would see that as well. I know my gf did; and she is not a political junkie at all; yet she understood what he was saying very clearly. There are ramifications for our actions abroad, and 9/11 was one of them. That does not justify the 9/11, but we should learn from that event, or it will happen again. So simply and obvious.

I have to say, that moment was like a teaching schooling a room full of kids.

+1 Rep for the Devil's post (#666...but I also agree with you)! :p
 
I just got in and didn't see it, now I may skip the end....:p

But my son said Jon Stewart said something nice about him, but couldn't remember what, for what it is worth.....

A+ he's our guy! there is always room for improvement but his campaign survives because of us! if we are negative and lose faith he will too, and then liberty will not be achieved.
 
Best debate I've seen from him in a LONG time. Unfortunately, that isn't saying much.
 
A+ he hit everything out of the park! Short, succinct answers! Even the final question - he wasn't "booed" the response was mixed. And that means controversial, and that means an opportunity to educate. Remember Rudy's Reading List? Say hello to Ricky's Reading List!

Ron did a fantastic job and it reached a lot of people! I gave a B only because it was short of perfect.
 
Solid A. Yes its true that Ron could frame the foreign policy issue a little better while still maintaining the same argument. Still it is the 100% truth and I feel that the people who boo Ron Paul on his foreign policy stance are flat out unwilling to give in to the truth, regardless of how he frames it. It is not unreasonable at all to cite bin Laden! Is Al Qaeda really going to lie about why they attacked us? If there is any credible source as to why we were attacked it came straight from bin Laden's mouth.
 
C. Satisfactory. Could have done better if he avoided landmine on S.S. Ponzi question as well as his clumsy response to Santorum. Wish he had statistics to back up his arguments. This is the area where Rand murders Dad, in that he can turn on his Newton Gingrich wonk side and illustrate to the audience how serious our problems are. The sheer numerical size of the federal government's guarantees are horrific.

I would give him a B. So far it was his best debate. Last answer was honest but work on phrasing it so the neo cons wont freak out. Rand knows how to do this very well. I suggest Ron talk to Rand to get help on getting the message to appeal to the Neo Cons. Rand was very good at this.
 
I just went back and listened his responses before voting in this poll...Ron had a solid performance despite the unfair treatment (again) by the moderator. He hardly gets good questions to answer and the ones that he does get are obviously geared toward painting Ron in a negative light...that being said I gave him a B because he still is not doing a good enough job of articulating questions that boost his record, he did that with social security which was good, but he never mentioned the tea party which he should have..
 
Didn't watch the debate, but just watched the Youtube on the last question. Nowhere near as bad as some of you are making it out to be.
 
Sucks that the warmongering pricks in the audience couldn't have let Ron Paul make a more complete point. Would have liked him to talk about his service record and military donations to the scumbag Santorum. Voted B
