Debates or jousting?


Tuesday evening GOP Presidential candidates squared off in Las Vegas as they continue their tour of the country in an effort to tear each other down one comment at a time.
The debates, or we might as well call them jousts, pitted Herman Cain against he fellow candidates and Mitt Romney and Rick Perry against each other.
Everyone whittled away at Cain’s 9-9-9 plan.
There is not enough information. More people will have their taxes go up. On and on the attacks on Cain’s plan flew. This is despite any of the other candidates coming up with a new idea to address the nation’s economic faltering.
While that circus ring swirled, Perry got started on Romney going after his employing illegal aliens to keep his yard trimmed. At one point Perry kept talking and talking, not allowing Romney to respond.
When Romney placed his hand on Perry’s left shoulder, it looked like maybe the two would just throw down before CNN’s cameras.
Now that would have been a sight, seeing GOP presidential hopefuls in a real donnybrook.
Can any of them survive the debate drudgery? And when they do, will they have provided the Obama camp enough ammo for the General Election next November?
It might be easier to have the GOP candidates saddle up on horses and enter a real live joust.
Winner takes all and gets to face Obama. That kind of event would capture everyone’s attention.
Saddle up….
