I think he debated Brian Williams rather well on the death penalty issue. Of course, the fact that WIlliams debated this question instead of simply asking it does not speak well of the objectivity of journalists, but that’s another story. Perry’s weakest area is healthcare- he’s got to be more specific regarding why Texas is dead last regarding numbers of insured if he’s going to work towards getting Obamacare repealed.
Otherwise, I did not actually see the candidates engage each other very much. They mostly fought off ideological attacks from the moderators, even going so far as to defend each other- on multiple occasions.
