I thought Huntsman did a very good job tonight, looked very much like he should be a front runner. I've never understood why Perry has the money and support he has, his debate performances have been anywhere from ho-hum to awful.
I think the other 2nd tier candidates are going to stay in until the Debate hosters make it more difficult to get in. The fact that Gary is still around is a testament to this observation. Newt is cementing himself(as he has done all along in this race) as the VP in waiting; he wants a job, his being there is more of an interview than anything else. Santorum is going to continue operating on a shoe-string budget(driving around Iowa in his car with his family, etc.), and Cain is Cain. If anyone is going to drop out soon, it isn't going to be for financial reasons, it will be because they have been simply squeezed out and replaced. I feel Bachmann is the only one in this potential position.
