I’m surprised you didn’t mention Ron Paul when he pointed out that while oil prices went up some 300% + in dollars, they only went up 200% or so in euros, and stayed flat as measured in gold. That was easily the most insightful thing said in the debate – there’s a lot of us in business/finance that understand what he’s talking about, while no candidate from either party has a clue. To me, that was definitely one of the highs of the entire debate season, that a presidential candidate would explain one of the most serious policy/ financial disasters in our time with a simple example like that.
