Everything you need to know is right here.
So what did ye think? What? Dammit, fine. I'll just post 'em right here then since ye all are too lazy to click the damn link...grrr...
Perry: $17.2 mil
Romney: $14.2 mil
Paul: $8.3 mil
Huntsman: $4.5 mil (wow)
Bachmann: $4.1 mil
Cain: $2.8 mil
Gingrich: $0.8 mil
Santorum: $0.7 mil
O' course, this is just what these scallawags raised, if you want to know how much they spent, then click the damn link. I am fully expectin' Perry to sink and Cain to rise.
Right, now that we got that outta the way, what is next?
Oh right, that debate thingy.
The big news, o' course, is that Romney gave Perry the "death touch." What is the "death touch?" Watch this video and roll it ahead to 8:50 for the fun and then at about 9:24ish you see this alpha male move.
I thought for sure that Perry was gonna take a swing at Romney.
So let's give out some grades, jus' because I can.
Michele Bachmann: B+
-Yes, she did wear something that looked commanding and took advantage of Anderson Cooper's weak moderatin' skills. She was heard and she has come a long way since the first debates.
Herman Cain: C
-9-9-9. O' course you were going to hear it. It seemed that Cain was out of steam for the night due to that report that stated lower and middle income Americans would pay more under his 999 plan.
Newt Gingrich: B
-Every time I compliment Newt on being rational and intelligent, he says somethin' that makes me think "wait a second..." That being said, he was more intelligent this particular debate on almost all subjects.
Jon Huntsman: C
-Huntsman getting a C? Really? Well, he opposed Nevada moving it's caucus up and then took action (a stand) when it was crunch time. Maybe you noticed that the GOP field seemed a little crazier without him? He certainly didn't damage himself any.
Ron Paul: C+
-Good: Paul was vigorous in his message and actually proposed something to solve the deficit crisis. Bad: People started laughin' when they heard all the departments he was wanting to cut. Awkward...
Rick Perry: B-
-Perry has gotten a lot better at debatin'. Unfortunately, he has gotten no better at debatin' Romney. Every barb Perry threw was, excuse the semi-pun, "Parried," and then Perry had to endure the devastatin' counterattack. Perry's response to Anderson not wanting Perry to stay on the subject Cain was on: "I understand that. You get to ask the questions, I get to answer like I want to" didn't do him any favors...
Mitt Romney: A-
-I am not like others who judge on how a candidate debates compared to how well they debated before. Romney is a good debater, that is obvious. He did hit some flak, but was able to counter almost every attack with one of his own, whether it was attackin' Cain's "Apples and Oranges" comparison of state and federal taxes or Santorum's Romneycare=Obamacare.
Rick Santorum: D+
-I was hopin' that Santorum would have evolved from his angry nature. He failed miserably. Romney picked him apart and his anger really puts people off. Geez, you are in Vegas, Rick!
