I thought it would be another snoozer. Instead, I was clapping and cheering with the audience.

Both Romney and Paul were booed last night. Mitt had the crowd at the beginning of the debate, but Newt had them in the palm of his hand from the Juan exchange forward. Mitt was left sputtering the rest of the debate. I think he was exposed for the fraud he is. He also was taken aback when the audience booed him. Heh.

It really was something to see. Even Romney-lover Dick Morris said he thinks Gingrich may win SC because of this debate performance—even over objections by Sean Hannity, who looked a little rattled that Romney did so poorly.

I guess we will soon see.

I think Mitt was shaken in the first half hour when Santorum took him on and wouldn't let go. Strongest performance yet by little rickie. Gingrich dominated with his magisterial command of the issuers. He makes his bashers look like mealy-mouthed, small-minded pecksniffians.
