Mitt's doing well. More real and natural than we usually see. He's reframing most of Tim's questions, and Tim did not attempt to stifle as much as he usually does. Mitt was able to explain the why's and wherefores of some earlier votes and positions. He accomplished it to my satisfaction.

For example, one anti-gun measure (assault weapons) had NRA support. Another example; fees (taxes)for interstate exit advertisements for restaurants and gas were raised dramatically from $200 a year.

Unless Fred lights up, Mitt's the best.

Best moment; the tears in his eyes recalling the news in '76 that Mormons had dropped their prejudice against blacks. Coupled with his civil rights history --and his father's--this exchange was as sincere as any I've ever seen from a politiciam. He said he was driving when he heard the news report, pulled off the road and wept. No acting, imho.

The same thing happened to me when I heard that the Berlin wall was coming down. I had to pull over. I was so full of hope and now we have Putin.

Have you seen this article about Mrs. Mike Huckabee? There's a 180 degree difference in her public demeanor of being the shy, retiring ("submissive"?) little preacher's wife that she plays in public.

I agree based on what I saw which was about the first half hour.
