I'm not neutral, I prefer Newt, but Santorum did the best in that debate.
Gingrich is on his game about every other debate.
Newt is on his game a lot more than that, but his last two were a lot weaker than normal and it hurt him since his support had come from people watching how well he had done in the prior debates.
If this is what this party has become, they deserve to lose. They blow around with the wind. It's an embarrassment and a disgrace. But the bottom line means, we all lose!
