Mollie K- After watching the debate in almost its entirity, I have a strong idea of who my favorite candidate will be. Each candidate used their fair share of analogies, circular reasoning, and other devices to try and sway the public's views. However in my opinion Michele Bachmann wasi n fact the strongest candidate during this particular debate.
Bachmann answered each question thoroughly and didn't continue to babble on about the topic longer than what was necessary. She also continues to make eye contact with the person that asked the question, or she looked directly into the audience/camera. Bachmann also used her hands to emphasize certain points, but she didn't overuse them to cause it to be a distraction. Her face and posture remained calm, and she didn't panic and stumble with her words when answering each question. The crowd responded positively to most of her answers with a lot of applause and whistles after the mojority of her comments. She also stuck to her comments she made about abortion, States Rights, and Healthcare, and she didn't switch sides or take back any comments she made during the debate or during her political career. This is important when deciding who is the most sincere about their vows of change for our nation.
With all that beign said I believe Michele Bachmann did "win" this debate because of her strong answers, and the lack of stength from her fellow candidates.
