As I watched the candidates take the stage, I knew I would be open-minded to anything they had to say – all except Rick Santorum that is. He lost me before the South Carolina debate even happened when he compared gay marriage to polygamy. So the debate for me was among three people: Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney (and in that order).
The South Carolina debate had some good one-liners, but I was disappointed that the national debt was not a topic. Ron Paul was able to mention a couple of times though that he plans to cut $1 trillion his first year in office, mostly by getting rid of entitlements. I guess the debate never went there because no one wants to discuss that the United States is bankrupt. At any rate, if you want to see some of the memorable quotes from the debate and why Newt Gingrich received a standing O, check out my commentary from Yahoo! News.
