MSNBC has however, skewed the graph to make it look like RP only has about 15% more than Romney, even though he has over twice as many votes. Comments are interesting and positive for RP.
I watched the debate and didn't think Ron actually debated very well. His responses were clumsy when the opportunity availed itself which wasn't very often.
I think Ron Paul is the only acceptable candidate but I'm afraid he debates poorly. When he begins to respond, I think his mind floods with thoughts that get bottled up in his mouth. I wish I were wrong. Ron also said that building a border fence might end up "keeping us in" rather than keeping illegals out. Though he could very well be correct the general public might think the crazy uncle escaped the attic.
I thought Newt the grinch actually responded the best though he didn't mean a word of it. He said he would "audit the Fed" ... Newt is a third wave Fabian socialist. Liars have been successful in getting elected in America for a very long time so why change a winning strategy ?
Huntsman did a fair job and if the claims he made about the job he did as Governor of Utah are true ... he's a talented and capable man. Huntsman is a globalist billionaire and it didn't appear the others on the panel wanted to debate him. I thought he came across as a little arrogant.
Herman Cain came across as a results oriented problem solver but had limited opportunities to speak. He would have had a better chance before Obama screwed things up for black Presidential candidates.
It was clear that Romney, Perry and Bachmann were given much more debate time than the rest. Bachmann made every response a chance to say everything is a very serious crisis. She voted for the Patiot Act .. nuff said.
Santorum didn't get much time and didn't have any effect.
Most of the candidates are very obvious globalist puppets and their records prove it. Ron Paul is the only anti - FED Reserve, anti-war, anti-foreign aid, Pro-Constitution candidate ... the rest are tokens.
This wasn't any damned debate. This was "democrat reporters quiz republican candidates for two excruciating hours." It is proof of what suckers pubbies are that they put up with this s**t.
I think you were spot on about Ron Paul. His answers were poorly modulated and not well focused. That was in part because the establishment interrogators masquerading as moderators gave Paul very little face time. Those brief moment when RP got to speak were spent playing catch up. It seemed to me that he was getting a bit riled too at the shoddy treatment he was receiving. I don't think that helped his performance.
I couldn't take more than an hour of this charade. I was disappointed. I have seen RP turn on the fire works at events like this. Never-the-blinking-less, it was good to see the results this morning. Eighty thousand votes is a strong sample.

I tend to agree with your comment, but IMO RP's ideas can't be expounded on in 30 seconds or less. These formats are a disservice to any thinking American, but what's new in the zoo? We live in a moronic world where political sound bites, physical appearance, and allegiance to globalism are weighed more favorably than critical thinking. That said, I'm glad this poll has him on top and if he can continue to hang around close to the top two candidates, his message will be impossible for the MSM to ignore.
did you know that huntsman is romney's cousin? he is also a real POS & has admitted he is for forced govt 'health care' & that we need to fight 'climate change'. 2 mormon freaks we do not need.

i get soooo tired of him always invoking Ronald Reagan's name. that's all he's got.

I didn't watch the debate, and maybe he didn't do so well last night, but based on what I have seen him do before on stage, I disagree with the notion that he debates poorly. On a previously debate this season he was hitting grand slam after grand slam on stage. I can believe though that he might have been irritated at being ignored and probably asked mundane questions this time around, so if he didn't do well this time I can only think that was the reason why.
