I totally agree with Johnny O. Once again we watched a debate and saw we have some talent there on the Republican stage. Yeah, the questions could be silly or a CNN producer’s caricature of what Iowa conservatives care about, but some of them happen to be important issues all the same. I would have liked more of a focus on the war, but all in all, it wasn’t a disaster, especially for a YouTube debate. And I do think Romney helped himself in a much bigger way than he had during previous debates — he may have helped himself with people who were looking for more assurance. McCain stands as a real adult and patriot and as a potentially tragic lesson and warning on immigration.
