>> I beg to differ. I think this was the best of all the debates so far. And IMHO, one of the highlights was when Newt boldly stated that....any one of us here on this stage could defeat Barack Obama, and any one of us would make a far better president than him! Paraphrase. >>
With due respect, your point actually does not counter my point nor the author’s point. Yes, the debate was good because the candidates did a great job for the most part - but they did so IN SPITE OF the moderators and not because of them. And Newt’s comment about “any one of us on stage” is something he’s said in EVERY SINGLE DEBATE.
Which brings us back to Kudlow’s point: there was not enough attacking of Obama - and I say it was because of the line of questioning, especially from Wallace.
I agree that there WAS NOT enough attacking of Obama. And I don’t mean just badmouthing him, but reciting his own words back for the world to hear, pointing out in detail how his policies have done much harm and NO good, etc.
