Sorry to burst your bubbles, fellow Newties, but we’re not winning Florida.

Romney was the clear winner. Everything was clearly stacked in his favor, from the audience to the questions and even his answers, but the MSM will slant their coverage to cover over the evidence. He needed to be broken and he only took a few punches.

Santorum is no better at debates than Herman Cain. If the moderator tosses him a question he knows, he can knock it out of the park. If he doesn’t know, he uhms, ahhs, and stumbles his way through something incoherent. That won’t cut it against Mitt Romney OR Barack Obama.

Newt didn’t have the landmark performance he needed. In particular, his initial responses on immigration were awful. He gave Romney a new soundbite: the problem with immigration isn’t 11 million illegal grandmas. Romney is a vile, reprehensible cretin, and I’ll never vote for him, but I actually agree with that statement.

Paul is Paul. He actually had some quirky, funny moments.

Spin room now and of course first up Romney. It is going to be a love fest.

“Romney people should be happy tonight” so says talking head on CNN “but the big winner was Santorum”. Ari believes RS was strong but Romney won tonight. Romney’s reaction seemed to indicate the same.

I missed the first 30 min but this was not Newt's best debate.

Romney's new coach clearly helped him out. I think Romney closes the deal on FL, particularly with Santorum still running.

VERY disappointing.

How was Romney the clear winner? Santorum cleaned his clock tonight. By the way, even those on CNN said afterward there was no clear winner.
