Fort Boise Breaks Down GOP Debate

At Fort Boise, Tom Von Alten breaks down the latest GOP debate, including these “lowlights: I’m pretty sure the totality of Ron Paul’s positions are anathema to me, although we agree on some things, and he does seem more sincerely principled than the rest of the bunch. There’s just that crazy uncle down from the attic vibe that I can’t get over. I think the sweet spot of his opportunity came and went a couple of cycles ago. And Rick Perry’s still here, wha? Maybe he’s hoping for another turn like Gingrich is getting. The strutting about “worn the uniform” and “been Commander in Chief” (of his state’s National Guard don’t you know) is ever so slightly over-the-top, oh-so-Texan. Big hat, small herd under there. Full analysis here.

DFO: OK, bat signal is intentionally lit for Gary D & Kootenai County GOP Central Committee Ron Paulers.

Question: Any thoughts on the latest GOP debate?
