Actually, Michele Bachmann is doing herself some good. I think she'll be the big winner tonight. Not impressed with Huntsman's decision to skip.

Well I guess he wants to wait until he's officially running

Bachmann will do well in Iowa, but I don't think it goes much further than that. But her rhetoric is pointed and she can raise money (at least on a state level), so she may stir it up a little. Not much of a starter IMO. The Tea Party loves her, that's for sure, but I don't think an Evangelical Christian is a proper hire in a time where middle ground is so important.

I think she could have a Huckabee like campaign. Own Iowa and then struggle to tread water the rest of the way

Thought Pawlenty was very disappointing tonight

I hate it when people try and act all smart by talking all fancy like. Get off your high horse Ron Paul! Slow down and talk about things the people understand!

"Ron Paul, the Texas congressman who has run for president before, did little to shake his image as a fringe candidate by talking too fast and dropping obscure subjects like "Keynesian bubble'' and "monetary policy'' into the conversation."

Romney, Bachmann dominate gracious GOP debate - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_exclusive/20110613/pl_yblog_exclusive/romney-bachmann-dominate-gracious-gop-debate)

Sorry I'll try to stop using those big words.

I saw this on the MSNBC site but I did not want to start another thread.

Obama: ‘There are days when I say one term is enough’
He talks re-election bid and how his family feels about his decision to run

Obama we say that everyday.
