Who Was The Winner of Tonight's Debate?
Elephant Watcher ^ | August 11, 2011

"The third primary debate was held tonight. Which candidates helped themselves, and who ended the night in a worse position?

Tonight was Jon Huntsman's first appearance at a primary debate. Unlike Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain, who offered "red meat to the base" during their first appearances, Huntsman just fit in.

Newt resurrected himself from the dead. But debates are his strong suit, so it’s not exactly a surprise.
He may have won the debate against the moderators but how did he perform against his actual competitors, the other candidates?

And as far as "winning" anything goes, I seriously doubt Newt the Fruit will WIN MANY DELEGATES, even if he belts out a few clever sound bytes in the debates.

Nobody wants him. He's a side-show act in the circus.

Go back to the couch, Newt. Put your head on Pelosi's lap.

Pawlenty was the biggest loser.
Hopefully Pawlenty will go out with a whimper soon, or shortly after Iowa.

Bachmann and Pawlenty should stop fighting and just get a room.

BTW, didn’t Obama look odd wearing that Romney mask during the debate?

Well, it was the only way he could get in.
