I think all of them are performing very well, but I disagree with Giuliani on most everything. Gilmore is doing well too. Thompson seems like the weakest — he could not cite three wasteful programs, barely mentioned one, and it made no sense what he was proposing. Paul seems nervous, but I like his answers. Tancredo is good. Huckabee too. We may have an embarrassment of riches. The lower tier are better than the upper tier.
As one of the primary architects of the vastly wasteful drug "benefit", this is no great surprise on Governor Thompson's part.
