Fred did well, especially on immigration.

Giuliani looked like a complete fool on immigration--especially when he went on his 'schooling for illegals' rant (without discussing how that would encourage EVEN MORE illegal immigration) and his 'turning in only those who break the law' lunacy (without discussing the fact that they are ALL breaking the law).

Fred waived the BS flag on the latter.

The only republicans who have more delegates than Duncan Hunter are Romney and Thompson. No delegates were actually selected in Iowa.

The New Hampshire GOP withdrew its sponsorship of this debate.

According to this article, there were no delegates selected in Iowa.

First G.O.P. Delegate Goes to Romney (Romney, Hunter Leading in WY)
New York Times ^ | January 5, 2008 | MEAD GRUVER
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/05/us/politics/05cnd-wyoming.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1199563235-58hBRHoYXSVDHcyr25G/Fw&oref=slogin

“Wyoming chose the first 12 delegates of 2008 at 12 separate county conventions. Iowa Republicans, who have 40 delegates, conducted a straw poll but elected no convention delegates Thursday.”

So, that means that Romney has the most delegates (8), Fred has 3 and Hunter has 1, going into New Hampshire. I see now that Hunter was wise not to campaign in Iowa, and where he did choose to campaign he drew blood. You get more bang for the buck with Hunter.

The fact that he’s being excluded from New Hampshire debates is probably a historical first. This is a conservative website and Hunter is a conservative candidate. The GOP is late in waking up to the fact that the media hates conservatives.
