(1) Giuliani did all right on defense issues, but his deep policy flaws on other issues like immigration were thrown into sharp relief.
(2) McCain did a good job fighting Romney on Iraq.
(3) Romney did all right - but McCain, as I said, got some good and well-deserved licks in.
(4) Gilmore, Huckabee and Brownback did credibly but didn't do anything to stand out from the pack.
(5) Hunter did great on defense, but then got bogged down in the whining over Ramos and Compean.
(6) Tancredo came across as a small and bitter man.
(7) Ron Paul said his usual crazy stuff. And, true to form, he soft-pedaled pro-life rhetoric, he spewed leftist rhetoric on the Middle East and demonstrated how little he knows about just war theory and history.
I pretty much track with your analysis.
I thought Gilmore has withdrawn from the race.
Jim Gilmore isn’t even in the race anymore. Did you even watch the debate? Sheesh, your bias is camouflaged in cellophane.
