Cain's looks, he looks good, not whom I was was talking about. Haven't heard him as I don't follow all the videos that show up. Voices matter somewhat, words more, sometimes, re who votes what.

I viscerally hate Michele Bachmann (sp) but that is bipartisan, I can't stand Hillary either, though somewhat less than Bachmann. Hillary seems a victim to me of biased information learned fast. Bachmann seems out to lunch.

Do you mean your hatred of Bachmann is "partisan" or that hatred of her is "bipartisan?"

I hope the former because the latter reflects an even more intense level of partisanship.

"The presumption that Judge Walker, by virtue of being in a same-sex relationship, had a desire to be married that rendered him incapable of making an impartial decision, is as warrantless as the presumption that a female judge is incapable of being impartial in a case in which women seek legal relief," Ware wrote in his decision.

In my opinion, all of the candidates did very well, and all had high points.

Mitt Romney wrongly claimed deficits “multiplied … by a factor of four or five” under President Barack Obama. He also incorrectly stated that auto companies have repaid only a "small" share of the government bailout money.

The deficit was already running at $1.2 trillion when Obama took office, and it grew to more than $1.4 trillion during his administration — an increase of far less than 400 percent to 500 percent. As for the auto bailout money, nearly 50 percent of the roughly $80 billion has been paid back. By any reasonable measure, half is not "a small share."

"If you can't define a winning exit strategy for the American people, where we somehow come out ahead, then we're wasting our money, and we're wasting our strategic resources," Huntsman told Esquire as part of a long profile in its August issue. "It's a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it's now or years from now, we'll have an incendiary situation... Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don't think that serves our strategic interests."

Huntsman also said that he wouldn't have intervened in Libya - "We just can't afford it" - and would seek to make serious cuts in the military's budget. "If you can't find anything there to cut, you're not looking hard enough."
