Didn’t get to see the entire debate, because I’m at work. But McCain went down in flames tonight. Your assessment of Rudy is correct.
But there were a few bright moments from some of the candidates when they slapped Matthews down, etc.
Watched part of the replay last night at 11:00 - but fell asleep! Need to see more debates, read up a LOT on each candidate's positions on issues.
Thinking back - I think the idea of a national ID card was the biggest surprise. WAsn't that endorsed by at least half of them? I know it was in ref. to illegal aliens....but still, scary.
The Dems think they have THE winning issue in the Iraq war. Yet Hitlery herself stumbled bigtime by threatening to revoke the Congressional approval of going to "war" (military force). She will NOT succeed and has made a major blunder while trying to appease the Dems/Independents who think Obama is now the one for them.....so the Iraq war is a quandary not a given for the Dems asa winning issue.
Anyway - as biased as Chrissy's questions were - the candidates handled them very well, I thought.
So we have several good choices....but who can defeat the beast or her sub beast Obama? That will be the question.
