Santorum and Paul Won the Last Debate
That’s the verdict of our CHQ Poll respondents, who obviously did not care for the performances of the two “top” candidates who hogged the debate time with their personal attacks on each other.
We asked you: “Who do you believe won the Republican presidential debate Thursday night? We’re not asking who you support. Rather, which candidate did the most to advance his candidacy Thursday night?
Here is how you responded:
36% Rick Santorum
36% Ron Paul
17% Newt Gingrich
10% Mitt Romney
The two “top” candidates might bear these results in mind in future debates. The media love slugfest entertainment. Conservative activists want substance.

The Council on Foreign
More of the Same
The mastersx chuckle as thet watch us bicker over our choice Newt or Mitt because thery are the same andthere actually is no choice. Neither one of them will strive to return this country to the people or remove it from the corporate hands that run it. The masters will smile as the take either Newt or Mitt and remain happy and in control.
media controlled debate
Absolutely true that the media cares little about substance but prods rather toward sensationalism. The electorate is looking for substantive answers about presidential leadership, not for an innocuous brawl between the candidates goaded by the liberal moderators. We already know what they have done and are ready to overlook their warts of personal life and past performance if we can now find them believable in their rhetoric. Personally, I find the steadfast adherence to the constitution of Congressman Paul, the most appealing.
I say let them destroy each
I say let them destroy each other. It exposes them for what they are and how they will deal with others.Our, or any system of governing is a power struggle. Everytime there is a downturn an opportunity exists for Politicians whom are willing to do, or say anything to avail themselves of desperate yearnings in the populace.Without these Pathological leanings exposed to the voters from Politiians willing to expose their fundemntal shortcomings the voters will never know just how balanced those candidates are in approaching opponets.Foriegn or Domestic
I for one do nor believe these behavior weaknesses are turned off once elected.
