They did not give the candidates equal time by any means. They picked the worst possible questions to ask. In fact, it seemed they only picked questions that would make the GOP candidates look bad - questions related to abortion, gay rights, the Bible, etc...Nothing on education, no serious discussion of tax policy, the multitude of welfare state programs that should be abolished, or the failed war on drugs that has destroyed countless lives for no good reason, just to name a few. This debate was a joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24931111.post-14399713876763716222007-12-03T19:43:00.000-05:002007-12-03T19:43:00.000-05:00I just came back from New Hampshire and saw Ron Paul, Tancredo, and Huckabee speak.<BR/>I'd hate to say it but Paul is overrated..he's really intelligent and all but doesn't know campaigning 101: play to your audience. You figure he'd do well in front of a college audience but he wasn't on his game, was kind of dull, and lacked good transition in his speech. I can see why logic plays out in his message and how some people grow attracted but I wasn't impressed at all. Talking monetary policies to a bunch of college kids won't get you too many supporters.I think he may have hit his ceiling, although he's definately a legitimate candidate.<BR/><BR/>Huckabee on the other hand was excellent, speaking often about education, clearly knowing his audience well. (and he's not even who I'm backing)Eric Sedlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16392181554662969184noreply@blogger.com
