After watching the debate, I think Jim Gilmore definitely deserves a second look. I don’t think he’s going to get that look, but I think he deserves it. This is just my uninformed impression, but he’s the one who seemed most comfortable being conservative and didn’t have to pander. It wasn’t always, “look what I believe,” but “look what I’ve done.” Romney and Giuliani sounded fake on abortion. They equivocated. Gilmore, even though supports choice during the first 8-12 weeks, sounded genuine. This is what I believe, this is my track record. And guess what, his position is more in line with a majority of Americans, who support abortion but also support restrictions on abortion.

I guess I feel like he can be a conservative without saying nutty things because he’s already proven that he’s a conservative.

Huck sold me with the line about weak federal government and strong state governments, but lost me when he raised his hand against evolution.

Also, I should not have watched this debate because of the essay I have due tomorrow. Oops.
