I thought early on, Santorum was a little on edge so he was just a tad flat footed. By the end, he was parrying with omney and not only holding his own, but winning. I think he won the earmark scuffle, along with endorsement of Specter. His arguing that Romneycare is on many aspects, to the left of Obamacare was pretty damning in my opinion...but apparently that goes against the news outlets.
Newt won overall, with Santorum as a second with Romney coming in third.

I agree with that assessment. And I thought Romney blaming Santorum for Obamacare because he endorsed Specter smacked of desperation. Here we have the guy who’s health care plan was the model for Obamacare blaming someone’s ENDORSEMENT for its implementation? I can’t see any clear thinking person buying that argument.
