Mitt Romney (pictured) did very well, as most observers expected. He seems to skirt a fine line between being above the fray and coming across as just plain arrogant. I think he nailed it Wednesday night, appearing as an elder statesman among squabbling political wannabes.

This time, the candidates had to face…MSNBC. So of course, quite a few questions would sound hideously biased. Still, the field held firm, and survived with few scars. So without further ado….
Rick Perry: Rick (pictured) has become the new front-runner, chipping off support from both Mitt and Michele. Here, he took on challenges to his economic success as Texas’s governor—and proved firm on his stances, sticking to his guns (as it were) and defending his words and actions.

So, it all starts when President Barack Obama refuses to loosen his lips on exactly what his big jobs plan is going to have in store for the American people. He promises us, “Don’t worry, I’ll let you all in on it…after I come back from Martha’s Vineyard.”
(A little aside: didn’t the media hound George W. Bush for all the golf games he played? And that was when the economy was going good. Obama’s played more golf in two and a half years than Bush did in eight—and that’s saying nothing about First Lady Michelle’s big splurge sessions in
