I'd say 8. People are overreacting.

That said, Paul should put out an ad saying he gets the most donations from the military. Golden opportunity to help himself.
 
I think Ron stumbled on the initial Iran question but totally redeemed himself in the Bachmann exchange. Everyone already knew this was Ron's position. He shouldn't lose any support. We need the independents and dems to turn out in a big way on caucus night.
 
8 - He could have answered the Iran question more head on. I also dont think he should bring up the "It's logical for Iran to want a weapon" point, it warrents an exhaustive explanation longer than the 30-60 seconds allotted. Should stick to one main point, if the United States' national defense is threatened, and it goes through congress, war will be declared with a declaration of war. Period.

People said he did bad in the Huckabee Forum while I thought he did well

He didn't take any damage.

For all the naysayers on the Iran question, everyone in that room and everyone watching already knew his position and what his answer would be, yet he still has solid support.
 


Really good except didn't nail Bachman's paranoid comment of one nuclear weapon.
No point explaining the misquoted UN report the point was even if they had a nuclear weapon russia had 4000 include some in cuba and that wasn't an issue in the cold war.
 
He was totally dominating in the first half. On foreign policy, Baier pushed him even further to answers than he has ever been pushed before and I'm concerned we might have taken some damage.
 
It doesn't matter what we think. It matters what the soft supporters and undecided think. If Huckabee forums say we did bad, not a good sign. I don't get the reason to keep the rhetoric on Iran at full strength. Iran is irrelevant to the election.
 
Campaign needs to create an Ad fast on Ron Paul's Foreign Policy and how he will defend America's interest by following the US Constitution.

Opponents and the media will hammer Ron's foreign policy views now more than ever after this Debate, saying he is not in the Republican mainstream and unwilling to defend America's interests.

Bank on it.

Whats new?

I don't see the need for an ad for an issue that few voters view as important.
 
C+/5. The only questions he got asked in the second hour were on Iran. Luckily, I don't think it will hurt him enough to stop his momentum. We will win Iowa if we have a big day tomorrow!

Yup, exactly. If they did not know his views on this issue then they were never solid supporters anyway.
 
he failed to capitalize on two big opportunities...

1. He should have mentioned his military donations when Baeir tried to paint him as "left of Obama" on Iran

2. That Supreme Court answer was totally nutty. All he had to do is say Scalia and shut up.

Missed that on the stream. I will now award him a nine in this poll because he stuck to his guns and that is why I am here.

Anyone who thinks Ron didn't have at least an ABOVE-average performance tonight must have been watching a completely different debate from the one I saw. He held his own valiantly and lucidly with numerous facts, a few great soundbytes, and a clear head.
