This week, Fox News Channel hosted a debate of the Republican Presidential hopefulls. This one was, by far, the liveliest and most interesting debate so far.
I'd like to thank Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney for confirming my opinions of them in my last post. They are not viable options, and if one of them gets the nod, God help us!
John McCain came across as (most surprisingly, alive) strong, intelligent, committed, and very solid in his opinions and positions. His performance at this debate has got to bump him up a little, but likely not enough to pull out a victory.
Ron Paul proved that there is indeed a fine line between genius and insanity. He is a very smart guy who has a much better grasp of some of the issues than some of the others. Unfortunately, it seems that he is also certifiably insane. Of course, one thing I will say for him is that I could cast a vote for him and still be able to sleep at night... but he's not going to win, so it's really a moot point.
Mike Huckabee showed a lot of energy, and also performed very well. I can see him as a very viable option, but not a likely victor... then again, you never know.
Fred Thompson was quick, smart, a little funny, and most importantly, fully awake for the entire debate. If he will hit the campaign trail hard, and stay prepared for any questions, and keep up the kind of performances that he gave at this debate, he very well may have a good shot at the nomination.
For anyone who is all about watching the polls, and wonders why I don't reference the poll standings here, it's simply this, I don't pay them much mind as they often prove to be utterly meaningless, especially this far in advance of an election.
