Unfortunately, the Republican candidates were preaching to the choir. I doubt their followers might have been listening but few Democrats were, judging from the large number of people at my house. The further tragedy is that the same thing will happen tomorrow. Only the Democrats will watch Obama. Neither side will change at this point.
The media will continue to push their own goals. There had been rumor circulated that Sarah Palin would participate in the debate, but she did not and has not committed herself to candidacy.
Most of them said what they thought should be done but there suggestions as to how it would be done were seriously lacking insight and in the realm of wishful thinking than reality.reality. Michele Bachmann seems to have faded into the woodwork. Her political naivety really shone brilliantly and the weight of it pushed her right out of the frame.
Perry and Romney locked horns but neither seemed a winner of strength. They both see what they want to see both in their future as well as in their past. Neither was telling the truthful pictures of past achievements. Ron Paul challenged his fellow Texan, Perry. Ron Paul's challenge to Romney should not be discounted, however. Sadly, amongst Paul's good ideas are many about smaller government that do not seem to lie in the area of a quick fix.
There was so little to discuss about the lackluster, little passion debate MSNBC resorted to a discussion of what it is Obama has to do. Are we really doomed (or is that damned) as so many seem to think?

Bachmann's drop in popularity was predictable. Her initial success was due to one good performance in a debate without frontrunners Perry and Romney. Even then, many Republicans felt that she was a flash in the pan.
Ron Paul is the most interesting candidate in the debate. He is both the oldest candidate and the one that is most popular among young people. His vision of a government that lives within its means (as well as within the confines of the constitution) may not be a quick fix, but it is essential to putting our economy on a long-term secure footing.
It is a shame that my favorite candidate, Gary Johnson, was not included in this debate (see http://www.garyjohnson2012.com). He shares Ron Paul vision, and has a proven record as a budget cutter, even taking on his own party to do so.
