2011 Republican Presidential Debate in Good Old Iowa

So Thursday I was listening in on the 2011 Republican presidential debate in Ames, Iowa (about 1 1/2 hours from my birthplace in Winterset...not Waterloo as Michele Bachmann mistakenly stated back in July) and let's just say I was none too impressed with any of the candidates. If I had to pick one to be president I would say Newt Gingrich, as he has the most experience and political intelligence. I do like some of underdog Herman Cain's ideas, as well as his track record and experience. He is an intelligent & successful businessman that would probably help lead this country out of its current morass. In fact, I think I would like to see a non-politician as president. As we know, that won't happen in this country. As for the others? I can't see any of them leading this wonderful nation. I hear a lot of praise for Mitt Romney, but as far as I am concerned he can take his pompous attitude and $250 million of worth & go back to Massachusetts. The rest of the lot are just preservers of the status quo, save maybe for Ron Paul (who is way too Libertarian to even be a Republican candidate).
