What was with that? I am no Ron Paul supporter but I am convinced that his microphone malfunction to start was absolutely no accident.

Post Debate Analysis
First of all, Rick Perry is done. He sealed his fate the instant he said he would send troops back to Iraq. Newt Gingrich had a good rant about anti-Christian bias that elicited cheers from the crowd, then finished with a thud when he said he would be watching college basketball on a Saturday night. As a whole...tonight was the Mitt Romney show from start to finish. Nothing but a big fat slobberfest over Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney, the king of platitudes, was smooth as usual. But, my goodness, why doesn't anyone truly, directly, boldly attack him and his liberal record? This was highlighted by the ABC commentators (not that I have much respect for them) but why didn't Ron Paul of all people do it? Instead, Ron Paul, in his erradic, quirkiness, lambasted Newt Gingrich for not serving in the military. Who cares?! I resent Ron Paul and his foreign policy, but a big part of me does want to support him, because I am all in on his domestic views. Part of me was rooting for Ron Paul tonight, especially after his microphone had issues to start. What a coincidence. It didn't take long before that sympathy for him faded, when he went on some ridiculous whiny rant about minorities not being treated fairly in the military and whites getting preferential treatment in the justice system. A meager attempt at Ron Paul to reign in the minority vote. I would like to hear any Paul supporters' thoughts on this. My support for John Huntsman as slowly grown these past few weeks and I think he would be a great pick for vice president. Santorum had his moments, and reiterated he is a strong candidate. His best line was in response to Ron Paul saying what a wonderful thing it was that our Navy rescued the Iranians in the Persian Gulf: "Under your presidency, we wouldn't have had any ships to rescue them." The bottom line from tonight's debate is this. No one did anything meaningful or unforgettable to attack Romney. In fact, who is the candidate who consistently attacks Barack Obama? Romney. While Romney attacks Obama, the rest bicker amongst themselves. And Ron Paul, the one with enough power and pull to bring down Romney focuses on his old worn out whining about government being too big instead of ripping Romney. If Paul wants mainstream GOP support he's going to have to do that. Mitt will win New Hampshire, and the way it is looking, South Carolina. Another thought to end with. Supposedly, according to the token Democrat commentator (don't remember her name and don't care), Mitt Romney is the weakest candidate to challenge Obama. That only tells me the opposite, that the Dems are most afraid of him.
As always, no matter who wins the nomination, they have my vote. Anyone but Obama. Your thoughts on tonight's debate are welcome in the comment section.
