I actually did not watch, had my back to the tube and listened. A couple of times when I could not identify the sound of the voice I turned to see who was speaking.
I wanted to listen and hear just how canned the responses would be. Romney was the most silver tongued speaker. Rudy seemed to have never been asked or thought much about many of the questions and it became difficult for his canned responses to apply to the actual questions.
I am just so sick of Republicans always agreeing to hobble themselves in some way to try to appease the left. Agreeing to allow Chris Matthews to moderate the debate? Insanity.

Yeah what was that all about. Chris Mathews is insane himself. The man is a total enemy of all on the stage and they ask him to moderate? Why didnt they ask Eleonor Clift? hell: Why not go all the way and ask Howard Dean?
Rooty flopped at his mission........to finish off conservatives and take the party to where he wanted it, (where he thinks he can win). Note that he did make a weak allusion to winning w/ Dems and Indies.
Rooty was vainly clinging to the RINO's Impossible Dream----to takeover the party by dumping social conservatives off the Repub lifeboat.
Unfortunately the Big Plan was based on the ignorant assumption that conservatives would roll over and play dead.
Ain't happening.
