Gee, Old Fan, you had nothing but good things to say about Santorum until last week.

What happened?

"no one had a bad night except Paul..." Good grief what a hack Hewitt is. I listened to part of his radio show yesterday about the NH primary and he acts like Paul is not even running, even though he is projected to win 2nd, far ahead of Santorum and Gingrich.

I agree that there was a lot of follow-up on the Griswold question and that George and ABC came off looking poorly.

But I must say that I was yelling at the TV as well when Romney repeatedly dodged the question. Romney went to Harvard fricking Law School and knows quite well what Griswold v. Connecticut is. And Romney absolutely pretended like he didn't know that the Supreme Court had ruled on the issue, and that it is, of course, probably the most important substantive due process case out there. Give Santorum credit - he has come out and said that Griswold was wrongly decided. Romney totally ducked it.

So I guess I feel a little bit for Stephanopolous there. I think he was just astonished that Romney would flat out lie about not knowing that the Supreme Court had decided the issue. And he flat out would not answer the question. Romney did excellently tonight, and the short-term politics of that exchange probably benefits him. But I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having to flip-flop yet again and later acknowledge that he, of course, knows that decision. And I have to think that he supports the holding of Griswold too.

I agree ABC was horrible. Mitt got his moment with slapping down George. But Santorum, Perry and Newt all did fine too.

Paul's debate performance was not very good.

And Gov. Huntsman, please do not answer questions in Mandarin.

"If it was a fight it would have been stopped, and the exchange seemed to have rattled both Diane Sawyer and Stephanopoulos who struggled to ask good questions or follow-up appropriately throughout."

Without a doubt...

Romney had the Democratic Pundits with ABC spinning. The ability is vivid, even engaged the challenge with savvy wit. Romney again, shows he is the best of the offering for the Nomination.

However, I have to disagree with Rick doing as well as some suggest. Paul's challenges about Rick's Washington Record are damaging, especially because of Santorum's response. Rick's opposing the "Right to Work", his many Earmarks, etc., all look very poor for someone now suddenly being peddled as the ideal. Rick doesn't handle the challenge well either. Not as badly as Gingrich did when confronted by his graft via Fannie and Freddie, but still, it is not a positive for him. Very hard for anyone to live up to the ideal, but Rick is not coming close Also, in terms of social convictions, Santorum does not offer an attractive presentation. His conviction maybe strong, but politically it comes across poorly.

Ironically, on those social issues, such as 'gay marriage' (things we assume Rick would be strong), it was Romney who handled it the best. Very sound.

Romney shined with many great answers like he helped start Staples, Europe is not doing well in Europe, he quoted the Declaration of Independence, and he made ABC look silly. Newt and Santorum also had some good answers, and Perry did well on the energy issue, but Romney sounds and looks like a President already.

What a lame post.

Another pathetic attack on the media.

When it comes to the media, conservatives are the ultimate wimpy victims.

This is getting old. The only predictable thing about conservatives is that they will whine like little babies about the media. One year, the lesson is that we learned from Reagan that deficits don't matter. The next year, addressing the deficits conservatives have caused is much more important than addressing unemployment or anything else.

It is no wonder that Mitt Romney is the ideal conservative candidate. Like many conservatives, he is a consummate flip flopper with no core values. But he sure does have grievances against the mainstream media.

The Republican Party is the victim party. That is their only consistent principle.

You're not even worth replying to anymore.

Davie,
When we see Karl Rove hosting a Democrat debated on FOX News, you'll have a valid point. Until then, you're just another liberal idiot with nothing to support your girlish feelings.
