Although, I find it absolutely ridiculous to have 8 people participate in a debate at one time, I do admit watching some of the Republican debate last night. Now the media says Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich "won." But I have to say just watching a portion of the exchanges, I was more impressed with Herman Cain and Ron Paul. Why you ask? Because they were "real." I didn't feel I was being sold an image that a bunch of handlers came up with. They were who they are without apology and were not just spouting off talking points. And just in case you were interested, here's my opinion "tongue in cheek" of all the candidates:
Mitt Romney - He's slick and hasn't aged in years...how is that possible?
Newt Gingrich - He's all superior and pompous
Rick Santourum - I've always admired his morality and principles but he strikes me as gullible
Michelle Bachmann - a female Obama; not that they agree on anything but on the issue of experience
Tim Pawlenty - kind of a bully the way he picked on everyone
John Huntsman - unknown (he's got a lot of experience!) but I'm willing to learn more
Herman Cain - I like that he's a Washington outsider with real world experience
Ron Paul - one kooky libertarian but I like that. Government is much too involved in our lives.
There you have it...the opinions of a nobody from the midwest!
