Romney did "well enough" to win the primary. His victory shows that. I do not discount Santorum's message; but he still an also-ran at this point. For what does it profit a man if he wins a TV debate and comes in third in the primary?
Nah, Romney didn’t do well at all in the debate, but most of the Florida voters weren’t watching. Romney was channeling AL GORE with his sour looks at the other candidates! The debate JUST DIDN’T MATTER because no one was listening. That won’t happen against Obama.
Romney out advertised Gingrich 65-1 on TV ads. That’s how he won. He won the stupid vote.
