Interesting thought: if these were the only choices, . . .
I would not vote even if they threatened me with death!!
However, if they threatened the life of any of my children, I'd vote for Paul. And, probably thank gawd I am 75 with one foot in the grave. ;-)

"Ron Paul was telling Blitzer at one point that the subject at hand didn't really interest him (I believe when they were arguing about their investments); challenging everyone to a 25-mile bike ride to demonstrate his good health; and suggesting sending politicians to the moon, instead of building colonies there. But my favorite moment was when Paul was asked about a hypothetical phone conversation he might have with Raul Castro from the Oval Office. Paul's response? "I'd ask him what he called about, you know?" Awesome!" (from one of the CNN commentators) I agree with this: Ron Paul was just great!

LOL
I saw that Romey smack down on Noot - to funny. Will give Noot some credit to just nod, (Suggesting that Romey was right) and that was the end of that investment thingy. I mean Noot could have dumb down even further , with yet another rebuttal.
I am sure these candidates have (advisors) and people who do the research ? ? So I wonder how the advisor felt when his boss, Noot got the smack down or Maybe Noot was advised to not go there ? but Noot went anyway against advice.
Are you telling me this debate we are witnessing are a bunch of jokers who want to lead this great country of ours? This is an insult to the citizen to hear this crap coming from their mouths.We need a leader not a bunch of actors trying to portray being a leader.

My take is (after watching the video a few times), that Gingrich's purpose was to level the field since he was being criticized (repeatedly, at least on an add by the Ron Paul camp) for his connections to fanny mae and/or freddy mack that were hurting him in his competition against Romney. For this reason he made the decision to bring up/out Romney's investments in these same two firms, even though he new that Romney would bring out his [noot's] own investments with them too. At the end they stood even, they then smiled at each other, and will not prosecute each other on this point in the future (i assume).
Paul was laughing-in-silence all the way through the whole flip-flop=flap-flip. He went on to tour in Maine.
Santorum, I think, was the odd-man-out in the exchange or, didn't realize what was happening. Something else that he doesn't realize is that his Foreign Policy conception is that of a (with all respect) Boy Scout.
Obama has started to move. He's starting to get new criticism from the other candidates. His problem really, though, is Ron Paul because Paul is the only one that has a plan that is really different than his. And really…
…You can't beat The President In Office/[Standing President?] at his own game, on his own turf.
