It was a funny slip-up, but I think the better-polished, faker candidates are more likely to have memorized everything properly. Obama and Romney aren't making mistakes like that, because they're the most manufactured, image-conscious, candidate robots one could possibly design. That doesn't make them sincere, it sure as hell doesn't make them effective as presidents.
Presentation is THE most important thing for a U.S. presidential candidate. Sure, a botch like that could reflect a declining mental capacity I guess, or a problem with pressure, but otherwise, I'd be a lot more concerned with somebody's background (or lack of a background) then whether he botches something at a debate.

Maybe if they question him on something like his view on some small part of some law. He was talking about eliminating entire federal departments. Don't get me wrong I am all for eliminating the department of education (I am a teacher and see firsthand how worthless it is) but it just sounds contrived to all of a sudden have three departments you want to eliminate and you can't even come up with one of them.
