Re: Las Vegas debates
1) It was fun watching Perry get his ass handed to him about immigration. You can tell that Romney is about as practiced as it gets with debates.
That is more or less why Perry's nomination is withering. He lacks even Bush's superficial everyman charm.
2) Similarly, Cain was getting dinged right and left about 9/9/9. Romney's pile-on was amusing. I understand what both sides are doing: Cain is getting frustrated that people are deliberately misunderstanding his plan, and the others are trying to cast it as another tax. The latter would backfire if people weren't generally credulous.
Which is doubly amusing because the plan is terrible even without misunderstanding it. But it's easier to misunderstand it and attack the straw man then provide real information.
3) What in the Nine Hells of Repression is Bachmann wearing? Is she the Admiral of Anti Atheism or something?
She would like to be. As her campaign has fallen apart, she has drifted further out on religious issues. To the point where she basically is now denying the concept of separation of church and state.
