Debate Impression

I just watched the republican debate on CNBC. The main topic was the economy. First impression was that Romney was the most impressive. I liked Rudy's answer about the line item veto because even though i think it's a good idea, he says if you're a strict constructionist you can't have it both ways. If you want to change it then you need a constitutional ammendment. Very good.
Ron Paul by the way, what a jackass! On the question of whether or not the president should be allowed to attack Iran without congressional approval if we were in imminent danger of being attacked he say's we've never been in imminent danger of being attacked on our soil??? WHAT? Rudy of course jumped on him with 9/11 and if i was there i would have added Pear Harbor which everyone seems to have forgotten.
Duncan Hunter took everyone to school with his crazy knowledge of terrorist states and he scored points on trade imbalances but he came back to the steel producers 2 or 3 times like he didn't have anything else to say. Not good.
Fred Thompson bored the hell out of me.
Huckabee is in favor of a consumption tax? What? He literally said that although we pay income taxes, pimps and hookers don't pay taxes. HUH?
McCain? Better, but not that great.

Overall, Romney was the best and in fact very impressive.

Rudy was #2 and scored points with me personally with his very positive, America is the best land in the world, kind of attitude.

Hunter was third and scored some points but i don't think he was positive enough.
