romney of having hired an illegal immigrant working on his lawn. romney said wait a minute, that's not true. what did you think of the intensity. >> i thought perry showed life for a change, but i also thought in that particular exchange, perry looked smaller. i mean, here romney was talking about big issues of allowing instate tuition for illegal immigrants, and perry was focused on a lawn guy that romney inad vertently hired. i was impressed with his energy and vigor that we haven't always seen in the debates, i thought romney came on top. >> i thought he overdid it. i think it's going to back fire. that's why herman cain is doing so well. he's likeable. >> they're all jockeying for position. i think clearly herman cain, mitt romney are ahead of the pack now. i think whoever has the consistent message on jobs and the economy, on reigning in out of control government and providing accountable government to the people will resonate.
