What I noticed later was that Ron Paul was the only candidate that had his percentage for "Neutral" go down after the debate. I'm not certain what this means but I suspect that the other 9 candidates generated the "who cares,... same 'ole stuff" feeling but had an opinion about what Ron Paul had to say.
