Last night, FOX news hosted the National Republican Primary Debate from the Peace Center in Greenville, South Carolina. It featured five former Governors and Congressmen all vying for praise and notoriety, while introducing new, astute methodologies and opinions.
Surprisingly, some of the conservative, top-tier candidates were not in attendance, including: Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich.
Nevertheless, it was a chance for Americans to get a good look at presidential potentiality, complete with a fresh cast and contemporary ideas.
The FOX moderators questioned the potential candidates mostly about current events, including the circumstances preceding and following the demise of Osama Bin Laden. The national debt was an important topic of discussion, as was each individual's plan to balance the deficit and cut government spending.
Questionably, Pawlenty was last night's fan favorite, receiving the largest appraise for his statements. He congratulated Obama on the killing of Bin Laden, but went on to criticize how the president has deferred the situation in Libya. He then went on to describe his credentials, explaining his frequent visits overseas, parlaying his diplomatic candor.
It's still very early, hence the extended absentees. There is still a lot to discuss, and these potential candidates still have a long road ahead.

I've been a fan of Ron Paul for a while. I'd like to see him President, just to see him audit the fed. I don't agree with all of his views but I think he has some good ideas to help our economy.
ReplyDeletegreat stuff! love the discussion. Ron Paul is just swell. and neato. and awesome.
ReplyDeleteNo Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich? What was the point of this then? They are far and away the GOP's best shot.
