Good debate tonite. One of the best.
I loved the way Newt went after Juan Williams on the minor jobs topic. Flat out smoked him and exposed the liberal media. (again)
Perry did better than he has in a while.
Paul was out there crazy again.
Santorum disappointed me tonite. Came off as weak and timid.
Newt and Romney did the best. Newt probably edged Romney, but will it be enough to change things?
All candidates got good information in. Probably due to having fewer candidates on the platform.
No big lines or major gaffes by anyone. End the end, this won’t change much. I do think SC will close some before Saturday. But Romney’s lead in the polls has been growing the last few days. Will anything in this debate change that momentum? Probably not. Mitt wins SC by at least 5 points. And looks like he will blow them all out in FLA.
This one is just about over.
“Newt probably edged Romney,”
Newt steamrolled Romney.
“End the end, this won’t change much.”
This will change a lot. Even South Carolinians know the difference between a moose and an elk.
“Newt and Romney did the best.”
You’re joking! I saw some of that old rattled Romney from ‘08 - he hemmed and hawed and got flustered a couple of times. And that’s only a fraction of how lost he’d get when going head to head with The Wan. It’d be brutal, it’d be ugly. And it’d be wimpy. Mittens doesn’t show well when not doing well-rehearsed, short sound bites.
