Donnelly also saw Jones as the worst in the debate. Jones behaved badly as the state's highest-ranking Republican, Donnelly said, by repeatedly attacking a fellow party member, Riordan, and refusing to take part in a pledge to support the Republican who wins the March primary.

Actually I think that was Jones' best moment when he smacked Riordan for his foolish criticisms of the Republicans and pro-lifers. He had great audience applause after that moment.

Jones' biggest slip was not answering the question on the "unity pledge." But to be fair, no way I would sign it because I couldn't vote for Davis-clone Riordan.
