Tonight's debate...

Anyone else watch it. I thought Paul did great. He lost the audience when Israel came up but everything else he said was well received by the audience.. Cain's done, imo. Being uninformed isn't a good quality for a presidential candidate. Perry made a valiant effort to put in a bottom, but failed spectacularly. Romney was slick and polished, as usual. The audience seemed to accept his answers tonight and the Mormon thing didn't seem to hurt him too much. He gained some serious ground tonight. Bachmann, I dunno... she won some, she lost some. Newt, the master debator, had his facts straight and was calm, cool and collected. Santorum, he sure don't like him no Romney, do he? that's all I remember about him from tonight.

After it was done I was on twitter and noticed Ron Paul was trending #4 in my area (Boston), so I did an informal scan of twitter trends for some various cities to see if what was happening elsewhere:

(read from bottom up. I've included every city I checked that had at least 1 candidate showing up.)

Cain and Romney 7 and 8...51 minutes ago #7 in Houston, Romney 8 and Cain 9...52 minutes ago and NY...54 minutes ago Bachmann #4 in Philly?54 minutes ago #7 trend in Boston! Overall I'm thinking Paul did great, but Romney will be the anointed one after tonight, although I think Newt might challenge him for that spot down the road. Bachmann and Cain will be around for a while, but both their stars are falling, imo. Perry's and Santorum's as well, but I think they're just about done.
