The best debate yet

Watching last night's republican debate, two things came to my mind. Did Mitt Romney at some point in his life run over the dogs of all the other Republican presidential candidates? Mitt got pummeled from virtually all of the candidates on stage that night. It seemed like all the other candidates got together and agreed to turn their political howitzers on Romney last night, to do their best to ensure that Romney doesn't win in New Hampshire which if he doesn't all but ends his candidacy.

The second thing that came to my mind was that last night's debate was probably one of the best of the whole campaign thus far. The moderator by and large stayed on the sidelines, only jumping in to guide the discussion when it ventured into the weeds. The candidates were able to engage each other directly, challenge each other on their positions and past statements.

All in all, I think Romney did not have a good night, but it probably was going to be tough for him given that the other campaigns have seemed to make it their mission to destroy Mitt's candidacy. He was incorrect, when he said that he never favored a timed withdrawal from Iraq McCain played it pretty safe last night, he was acting like he was the front runner in New Hampshire. If I had to pick a winner, I'd have to go with Fred Thompson, last night he  came across as the conservative standard bearer of the Republican party.

Mitt's been running vicious attack-ads, humble. And Fred Thompson doesn't have a "snowball's chance." How much of a tool was Ron Paul?
