The surpises for me are that Hunter did so well, and Ron Paul did so awful.
Tancredo really showed his best too. Romney did well, so did Rudy.
Frankly, besides Ron Paul, I’d take any of these guys over Hillary/Obama!!!!
If all I knew about Giuliani and McCain was what I saw tonight, mabye I could support either of them. However, their past records argue strongly against them. As Mr. Tancredo pointed out in the after-debate interview, Mr. McCain talks about cutting spending, but he's been someone who voted for more spending. Rudy Giuliani has shown himself to be an extremist liberal on abortion and gun control. He's been part of the attitude that gave us the illegal immigration problem. I can't vote for Mr. Giuliani, and I hope I don't have to vote for Mr. McCain.
Still, your point is right. All of them looked better than Hillary or Obama tonight.
