7 GOP Presidential candidates came out swinging at President Obama tonight, under the backdrop of John King's latest Magic Board, complete with Videos and Tweets. The players, in front of exceedingly friendly, entirely white, audiences at St Anselms College and online, turned right, right and further right with each round of interrogation.
Unforced errors included Romney wanting to turn Afghan operations over to the Taliban, Pawlenty turning to Romney and blaming the term he coined yesterday "Obamneycare," and directed at Romney, on Obama today, Dr. Paul advocating withdrawal from the world, to huddle in our personal backyards, while shutting the hospital door to an injured illegal child, Bachmann referring to Military Brass as "Commanders in Chief," and flip flopping in 60 seconds on supporting States' rights to set their own laws on Gay Marriage, while backing a Constitutional Amendment banning them, effectively invalidating those which exist, Gingrich's plan to bring back McCarthyism and loyalty tests, and Cain's desire to discriminate against all Muslim Americans.
Winners tonight were Mitt Romney, by virtue of being the front runner on home turf and incurring no jabs from opponents, and Michele Bachmann for being highly disciplined and on message.
As the first Debate, with all major players in attendance who have declared candidacy, it was an introduction to who they are, so will skip substance until these candidates are really grilled, which they weren't tonight.
