The poll question is who did the best job of advancing his chances in the debate -- if people are answering the question honestly based solely on the debate performance, it has no real bearing on their support for "their guy".
If I said that I thought Huckabee did the best job of improving his chances based on the debate prior to this one (i.e., the "YouTube" debate) does that make me any less of a "FredHead"? No, it just means I see the reality of the short-term situation.
I can’t help but wonder why the heck Alan Keyes was allowed in the debate. According to FOX news he didn’t even meet the criteria to be invited yet there he was throwing a tantrum and distracting from legitimate candidates.
I think Huckabee did the best job losing weight.
