GREAT closer by Newt!!! Good bookend to the first 5 minutes of the debate. Romney trying to elicit a patriotic response, but he’s going on too long .... back to “I understand” ... he says that a lot. So-so closer. Santorum still trying to get himself clear of the field .... not going to happen for him ..... back to “only one who has won a swing state” .... old meme. Guess I missed R.P.’s closer :-) My ranking - Newt, Romney, Paul, Santorum.
Three way tie: Mitt, Newt, Rick.
