Obviously, I wasn't able to liveblog Thursday night, nor have I been able to blog at all since then. Sorry about that. I'm back on track at least and here are a few comments on the debate in Boca.
- Mitt Romney - He was on message and didn't make any gaffes. I was particularly impressed that he stated plainly that he is prepared to hit back at Clinton and it wouldn't be pretty. I like seeing his backbone like this.
- Rudy Giuliani - He stunk up the place. He's circling the bowl along with Huckabee.
- Huckabee - He had the best night of all of them. He was typically funny, but I thought he shone best when he cogently explained the Flat Tax (twice) and especially didn't allow Russert to get him off message.
- McCain - He was worse than Rudy. Everything out of his mouth was "Rumsfeld" and it's getting old. He looked the absolute worst when he was humiliated by Ron Paul who asked him if he was going to abolish a certain advisory committee and McCain obviously had no clue what it was and circled his wagons by saying, "I have good advisors" and so forth.
I don't think the debate will have had much effect by tomorrow, but it was still a good debate.
