Watching the debate ADD style

I was sleeping during the debate and forgot to set my VCR. I am watching it on the Internet. Not too much excitement. The sound is horrible, so I can only pick up half of what is being said. It is hard for me to focus on anything Sam Brownback says, due to that chartreuse tie. What was he thinking? Mitt Romney reminded me of a manipulative woman, with his chin tucked towards his chest, sly smile and batting his eyelashes. I liked Tommy Thompson's intro, "I'm Thompson, Tommy, the candidate, not the actor." I like Mike's intro, "...I'm from Hope, you may have heard of it. All I can say is give us one more chance." Most of the candidates had the same answers about Iraq. Mike Huckabee seemed to make the most sense. He explained that we in the west don't understand how determined some groups in the middle east are. He said that, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." He says we need to realize the determination of the factions. I think that sums it up pretty well. That was from Part 1 of 4 parts CNN has on their website. I will be watching the other parts soon and blogging about them. I will write more about this soon.

Mike Huckabee did a great job with the limited time he was given. The Governors answers to the questions of "evolution" and "the biggest moral issue of our time" were perfect. Mike Huckabee expressed his faith with such conviction and boldness, it was as a CNN reporter commented "breathtaking".

I did see his answer to the evolution question. Unfortunately I did not see his answer to "the biggest moral issue of our time." Maybe I can find it on the i-net somewhere.
