See my #146. The Big Three remain the Big Three.

Overall, ABC is obviously narrowing the focus to the Big Three, anticipating excluding the other candidates. You could see it in how much time allocated, where they placed them on the stage, the little mini-debate over Obama's remarks between Julie/Romney, etc.

RP's best moment was in speaking against Wilsonian intervention and talking about threatening Pakistan and Iran, that he supporting going after al-Qaeda in Afghanistan but objected to the neocons expanding to attack Iraq, forgetting about Osama. Good applause line. In truth, Ron Paul didn't get any more time than the other second-tier, if even as much.

Tommy Thompson has a plan.

Thank you. Appreciate your updates. Read your 146. I just can’t believe Julie is doing well. Sorry to read about RP not having a good morning.

It looked and sounded like there was a small, but vocal coterie of Paul supporters who applauded everything he said. Paul is the GOP’s Mike Gravel.
