Ron Paul, John Huntsman and Newt Gingrich were pretty decent. Ron Paul's idea isn't subscribed by a lot of people including his own party. John Huntsman and Newt knew what they were talking about, but they both aren't "conservative" enough... especially John Huntsman who actually doesn't fit the typical Republican mold. The rest of them were between wacko to nutjobs. Michelle Backman and Rick Santorum stood out the most for being extra hilarious. So while Romney didn't have much trouble going through the debate phase due to his strong debating skill, PR people for the other candidates dug out too much dirt to give democrats a lot of ammunition to work with later on. It also didn't help how Romney couldn't stick to one message from one week to the next... and his choice comment such as the infamous 47% were icing on the cake to close the deal for the Democrats. Obama couldn't give away the election to Republican even if he tried and try he did (reference to his first debate).
