Oh, how entertaining tonight's debate was. Remember back in 2003 when I first started blogging? One of my earliest posts was about the Democratic primary race. Yes, I was young and naïve then.

Highlight: Herman Cain laying out his crazy "9-9-9" tax plan, which no one else believes will work, twice.

Disappointment: No one else asked to comment on the crazy "9-9-9" tax plan.

Highlight: Rick Perry defending himself in the position that most scientists don't agree with 98% of scientists, when it comes to climate change.

Disappointment: Rick Perry not pressed after avoiding the question of exactly which scientific evidence contradicts climate change theory.

Highlight: Ron Paul acting and looking like a crazy libertarian Gandalf.

Disappointment: No one else asked about the issue of legalization of marijuana.

Highlight: Touching tribute to Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

Disappointment: No one asked about the issue of stem cell research, which Nancy strongly supports.

Highlight: Jon Huntsman looking like only the reasonable intelligent guy in the group.

Disappointment: Jon Huntsman looking like he has no chance in hell of winning the primary.

Highlight: Michelle Bachmann's hair. Was she going for the Darth Vader helmet, the Geico caveman, or Ari from Planet of the Apes?

Disappointment: Michelle not really given much of a chance to speak. No really, I was looking for her to say something super crazy, but Ron Paul stole that show.
