Post a poll. I'd say an 8.

 

[Tiger35]

In comparison w the previous debates? 8

 

[SchleckBros]

8

I thought this was his best debate. In the first hour he hit home runs with the domestic questions however, he did poorly with the foreign policy question in the 2nd half of the debate. Overall, he did pretty good.

 

[therealist]

a solid 9....

 

[therealist]

he only did poorly due to audience response, obviously a bunch of die hard pro-Israel lobby neocons

 

[trey4sports]

pretty decent. He is not going to be a home run type as we all know, but if he stays away from Bin Laden, and Iran and serves up a bit of red meat then we are good. 7

They were all out offensive on him tonight. They were using very clever word-play, like when the Debate Host Anderson Cooper talked about Ron's cuts to the departments. They portrayed it as very negative, and the audience chuckled. They didn't give Ron a chance to defend himself on that, because they intentionally redirected the question off that shameless pluck.

Between 8 and 9, closer to 9 and I would never grade it a 10 because no one is perfect.

9. He really needed to point out that he predicted the financial crisis when they were talking about mortgage prices.

His use of using Regan as an example of hostage situations really scared the hell out of me.

This was, without a doubt, one of his best performances. He was smooth, articulate, and he had great substance. He didn't stutter a lot... and everyone on stage agreed with him! Perfect? No, but Ron Paul did very well. I voted "9" as in, Ron Paul gave 9 reasons for 9 major policy points that will get him another 9 percent in the polls.

Plus, the other candidates tore each other apart while Ron Paul had a chance to be the intellectual leader on the stage. Folks, we are doing well right now. We are doing really well. If BLACK THIS OUT is successful, we have a real chance to get a tremendous boost in the polls over the next few weeks.

I'd say he started at a 5, and ended with a 9. Overall, 7.

 

[One Last Battle!]

I give him a nine.

He did almost perfectly the whole way through, struck all the right cords, BUT!!!:

At one point Romney bragged about his "plan" to make tiny cuts. He was an incredibly easy target for Ron to say "How much would you cut? Maybe a couple billion? I'd cut a TRILLION in my first year and eliminate the deficit by my second year in office!". Instead, Ron kind of went on about foreign policy and ignored the chance, which wasn't necessarily a bad idea but it was like avoiding a hundred point shot to go for the ten pointer.

I'll give him a 9-9-9.

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I gave him a very high 9. The only thing that kept it from being a 10 was the hostage/Gitmo answers. While he is correct (of course), from a perception and vote-getting standpoint, which is the most important thing right now, it wasn't something that needed to be said.

 

[Korey Kaczynski]

This was his best debate he's ever had. #1.

 

[TXcarlosTX]

10!!! He is running for the general election!!!

 

[Crickett]

I gave him a very high 9. The only thing that kept it from being a 10 was the hostage/Gitmo answers. While he is correct (of course), from a perception and vote-getting standpoint, which is the most important thing right now, it wasn't something that needed to be said.

The problem with that was, that his full answer was drowned out for most of the audience. When he was asked about trading someone in Guatam. for a hostage, he actually said that none of those people had never even been convicted of anything. It was a pwerful answer but no one heard it.

 

[No Free Beer]

best debate ever

 

[Crickett]

This was his best debate he's ever had. #1.

One of his answers gave me chills. It was beautiful. I agree with you.
