Mitt and Newt’s early squabbles left Santorum to look balanced and mature (he’s never seemed so mature).
I’ve never liked Santorum at all, but kinda liking him tonight.
I agree. Santorum has done very well.
That's just what this debate was designed to do. Get Newt and Mitt at each others' throats, and have Rick look "presidential." The after-debate analysis will be just like last Thursday -- Rick Santorum won! in the hopes of drawing enough voters from Newt to Rick so that Romney can win Florida.
