I'm not sure why the Republicans are doing it this way. It's totally up to the Republican establishment how they choose their candidate, and so their method of exposing them all to a public "debate" where the press get to flay them publicly. It's more like a circular firing squad.

It's obvious that Romney has the better campaign skills, having been through it 4 years ago. Perry, not so much. Cain, not at all. The others are hanging in there waiting for their chance to surge forward. It will be interesting to see who makes it into February, when the real campaign gets moving. I'm just glad certain people dropped out already, like Donald Trump.
