The final question of the debate, "It's Saturday night- if you weren't at this debate, what would you be doing?"
It was too poetic as to how aptly the candidates answers' represented their personalities and tendencies.
Perry- "Shooting range." As if we suddenly forgot that he's a brawny alpha male from Texas.
Gingrich- "I'd be watching the college championship basketball game", (to which Santorum quickly corrected him that it was a football game). Could you think of anything more American?
Santorum- "I'd be watching the football game, huddled around with my family." He one-ups Gingrich by saying he'd watch the game AND watch it with his family. Touche.
Romney- "It's football, I love it." Romney quickly surmises that football is the politically correct answer here, and keeps his answer quick, simple, and successful.
Paul- "I'd probably read an economic textbook." (Gingrich's uproarious laughter was heard over the entire audience's laughter). The great thing is, Paul wasn't joking.
Huntsman- "I'd be on the phone with my two boys in the US Navy, because they are a constant reminder of what this great nation blah blah blah..." They call him a media darling because he is such a diplomat. Can't this guy ever speak off the cuff? What he should've said is that he would be at home, having sex with his wife. Now THAT would make Huntsman relevant again.
