Was that really 3 hours and 15 minutes?

Now that we've taken a bathroom break, we want to know what you thought of the debates tonight.

Personally, I felt that the first debate, which featured the four lowest ranked candidates, was a real discussion. Lindsey Graham, Rick Santorum, George Pataki and Bobby Jindal may not be doing well in the polls, but their debate was informative .. and they didn't attack each other.

The main event started off with attacks and comments about looks, who was the better CEO, and had 11 candidates going at it. There was some substance, but it was more of a collection of soundbites.
