Quite the Debate

The New Hampshire Debates were tonight and since I'm pretty lame, I spent my Saturday night watching them with my mom.

Today the bloggers went crazy with commentary, discussing the Republican side of things (i.e. the group bashing of Mitt Romney)...
Salon: Mitt Romney in the Crosshairs
Slate: The Mitt Maul
and the Democratic portion of the program...
Slate: Comeback Swing

Now I'm no expert, but I did watch the things and here's my take on the performance of each candidate in the debates (in as few words as possible):

Repubs/Band of Old White Guys
McCain-- He looks ollllllllld. And needs his teeth fixed. But pretty darn smart.
Thompson--Learned a lot more about him. Major bags under his eyes--yikes.
Ron Paul-- Honestly? I took my bathroom breaks when he started to talk.
Romney-- I disagree with almost everything he says but oh, he is so good looking! He should be president in the movies!
Huckabee-- Aw shucks what a nice guy. He delivers his jabs at the competition with such a nice smile.
Giuliani--Oh. My. God. We get it. 9/11. Great. Kick it into gear dude!

Dems/"Change" Group
Edwards-- The only middle-aged white guy in the bunch. And he's all for change. Right. But I'll agree with Stephanoupolous... he was pretty vibrant.
Obama-- Kept his cool and made good points but looked really tired and overall pretty bored.
Richardson-- THE ONLY PERSON IN EITHER DEBATE TO MENTION EDUCATION!!!
Clinton-- Responded well to criticism, showed some humility and humanity.

Feel free to jeer, throw rotten fruit or even concur with my take, but there it is.
