Remember, this is just my opinion.

Winners: Romney - mostly because he escaped relatively unscathed, Newt - he showed he is the best debater of the group. FoxNews in general-I thought other than Chris Wallace the questions were challenging and the debate was well moderated unlike the grunting John King we had with the first debate. I thought Bret Baier did a good job of letting them answer without droning on to get out their talking points. Maybe they just looked good in comparison to the first debate.

Losers: Pawlenty and Bachmann - Pawlenty just doesn't resonate with me and I just didn't understand some of her responses to Pawlenty's attacks. Ron Paul - he was fine on the Fed and some other economic issues but his just plain nuts when it comes to foreign policy issues. His response on Iran frankly scared me. He is a neo-isolationist and we all saw how that worked out for the U.S. pre WWII. Huntsman-I really can't figure out why he is even trying. His answer to the jobs overseas question with his company was pathetic. He can't win and is wasting his and everyone else's time. Chris Wallace-I usually like him but he was absolutely awful in his choice of questions and I thoroughly enjoyed Newt hammering him.

No traction: Santorum-I really like him and wish he would run for the Senate in Pennsylvania because he won't be the nominee, Cain-some good sounds bites but he needs to get some experience in political office before he takes on this role. He has lots of good ideas but is just not a credible candidate and his foreign policy answers are way too simplistic.

Having said all that, I would take any one of them over the Messiah, some being better than others.....all being vastly better than the current buffoon.
