Watched the Ron Paul highlights from the debate....

I was glad that he mentioned that it was he who could bring in Independents to beat Obama.

I followed the debate thread, was terrified to watch when I got home. I watched the Ron Paul highlights first, and all he did was tell the truth. Watched the debate in its entirety and thought Ron did very well. Did fox do any fact checks?

Not that I have seen, but plenty of other organizations did. I've posted them a couple of times.

Overall, I think Ron Paul did well, but on the Iran issue, I thought he was too erratic. While I agree with his positions, he needs to make a stronger effort to be more poised and calm. In debate formats where he is sitting, he comes across much better. I know for many here on this board, it's all about the issues, but being persuasive and selling your ideas well is an important pat of leadership. In other words, he needs to try to come across as more "presidential." Remember that ultimately he has to go up against Obama, the "great orator," and that is in the forefront of many voters minds and the main reason why Gingrich is even getting looked at by some.

Ya I was going to only donate $100 but after I saw that I donated 201.20. I remember how mad I was when people threw snowballs at him. Now I personally want to hunt him down and beat the shit out of that fascist bastard.

I was a little down last night, thinking that RP really messed up and that it would really hurt him for Iowa.

Today, after re-watching the spat with Bachmann, I think Ron did great. I'm really fired up and excited once again.

Every time I re-watch the highlights, I feel better. I just wonder if Iowans would take the time to re-watch this again? That is what counts.

I think this is what's happening: we are all very emotionally tied to Ron. We think of him as our family. When they come out swinging trying to knock him down, we take it very, very personally. But when we go back and watch it again with a cooler head, we realize that Ron does what he always does: WIN.

I watched the beginning of it last night - but just watched through to the end. My ONE critique of Paul was not ending his time during the Bachmann response on the most powerful sentence of the campaign:

"We cannot solve these problems with war!"

One thing I noticed......everyone within cameras view were applauding only establishment candidates and answers. They seemed to have placed with nearly 100% efficiency, a group who supports the status quo in the first few hundred seats in the front. The Ron Paul cheers were very audible, however when the camera panned nobody in the front was clapping or cheering (the sound was obviously coming from either the far end or a balcony.

Another good show worth re-watching.
