Wohoo I was first vote in new “who won debate” poll!

[Timeout]

There is no way anyone watched that debate and didn’t note the DIFFICULT questions to Romney/Rudy and the softballs to McCain/Huckabee.

Not asking McCain about “comprehensive immigration reform”?! Outrageous>

[rintense]

Winner: Mitt
Place: Rudy
Show: who cares

[potlatch]

Very good picts! Probably one of the best I’ve seen of McCain, lol.

Well, you screen capped the end of the debate!!

[DoughtyOne]

Charles, I’m going to have to respectfully disagree if you think Mitt is a conservative.

[Quicksilver]

Winner: Mitt, Rudy a close second.

“This guy is shameless.”

Disgusting isn’t it? I haven’t seen anyone this slick and slimy since Slick Wille. Scuse me while I go take a shower...

[TexasNative2000]

As Reagan proved, the tent is big enough - people just have to be smart enough to get in.

[nckerr]

I think they all did great. The most likeable and winnable in the general elections is still Huck.

[Fred]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST VICE PRESIDENTAL DEBATE I HAVE EVER SEEN

[MomwithHope]

At least they did not act like fighting children (the dem debate)

[Tennessee Nana]

The Romneys wrote a big check to Planned Parenthood...

[TheLion]

Frankly, I don’t think I have ever seen Romney any better.

Msmbc says Romney won the economic part of this debate!

[A. Morgan]

Bingo! Media turns Republican debates into sound bite fest of LIB questions!

[Terrence DoGood]

I don’t think the question was about Huckabee’s faith, but the way he uses faith to almost excuse or explain his tax-raising and support for illegals.

[exit82]

“Huck demonstrates his peerless communication skills discussing faith.”

Which is why he should go back to his calling—to be a pastor.

[Truthsearcher]

They did get the softball question, but it doesn’t really help them because softball questions lead to softball answers and makes no impression.

Romney got a lot of tough questions, so did Guiliani, and they came out of it great because they gave good answers.

[icwhatudo]

Scarboro-”Romney won tonight”

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Who won?

IMHO, Romney kicked ass!

[Charles Henrickson]

Romney wins this debate, easily. Very impressive. Only one weak answer (2nd Amendment), at least five or six very strong ones.
