I didn’t get a chance to watch the whole debate. Did Fred do any impressions of Chauncey the gardiner? I was half expecting him to have a little fun with Chris.
When Matthews made a snide remark about a labor-relations response (”that was long, you should have stopped at ‘no’”) Fred snapped back “nobody wants your opinion, Christopher” (or words to that effect). Fred’s zinger got a good “burn!” reaction out of everyone, including the audience. I predict that clip will get some play.
Fred started off a bit shaky/timid but he picked up steam and by the end I thought he did well and held is own. His calm manner has a way of making him seem above the fray. By comparison it made Romney and Guiliani seem like they drank too much coffee.
