Wild Thing’s comment……..
In case you missed these speeches. I was able to find them, I was hoping to find the tribute to Ronald Reagan that used, but there are a lot of them online and I am not sure which one they used.
Well. Gingrich won that speech contest hands down. He is a brilliant mind, but a flawed moral character. I don’t like his mention of supporting ethanol in a thinly veiled patronage to Iowa corn farmers. Still I could easily vote for him although I would be prepared for him doing something disappointing frequently.
Bachmann sounded very weak(and overly evangelical) and sadly, Perry sounded almost unprepared. Santorum spent way too much kissing up to Iowans, but he is the first of any of them to highlight the muslim threat.
If we could take the best characteristics of each of them and meld them into one candidate we would have Ronald Reagan II. Anyway, they are going to flail each other to death and unless most of them drop out in the next ten weeks, Romney will be the GOP candidate. Shit!!
Tom, that would be something, to take the things we like from the better ones make into one. heh heh
