Yeah, Newt was actually takin' it to 'em last night...wish the others had taken more of a cue from him and said they were there to talk about THEIR positions, not mock those of the other debaters. Romney did sound the most rational and well-thought-out on the purely economic issues. I like Perry on the death penalty thing, I would have preferred for him to quote Ron White on it though: "If you kill somebody in Texas, we'll kill you back."
I think Romney has spent some considerable time working on his delivery -- I am seeing some really nice money quotes come out of his campaign.
Comparing Romney to Perry in job creation however is a ridiculous endeavor, Perry should stay away from that. Perry has a nice Republican majority to work with, Romney was in liberal super-super-majority hell.
The only valid comparison of the two is that they both have gaping holes in the decision making department that they need to own and account for.
