Media is going to proclaim Romney the winner because of all the “Romney energy” in the debate hall from the stacked audience. He may win the battle on paper, but he’ll lose the war because he’s coming across SO smarmy, nasty, etc. Newt is solid - not sparkling (as we all wish he would be EVERY time) .... and I think that is going to be OK if he comes out of this not losing ground. He’s had to deal with another 48 hours of attacks, a stacked audience & in-the-bag for Romney moderator so under those circumstances, I think he’s doing well. Rick - best debate & left Romney bleeding on Romneycare - Romney’s snarky ‘angry’ remark is going to come back & bite him in the @ss. Ron Paul - humorous & almost charming tonight - he’s a funny little guy sometimes.
Frankly I have to agree much to my surprise.
