In a debate of 10 people, more than one can win. Each has different goals. Romeny’s goal was to take the lead of the top 3. He won that, he did well. Paul’s goal was to distinguish himself in order to try to build a following. He did that, he won.

They both won.

I'm not going to deny that Romney proved himself the Best Debater amongst the "Big 3". I'm a former Debater myself; I know what I saw.

But that doesn't change the fact that Ron Paul came out of nowhere to dominate the Post-Debate metrics. As Chuck Baldwin observes, "Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, and Tommy Thompson... It is safe to say, that none of these men obtained any significant support as a result of their debate performance." By comparison, Ron Paul skyrocketed.

I appreciate that positive analysis of the accomplishments of the candidates.
