Bicker In Boca Wrapup

Hard to say who won.  As usual, Huckabee was really charming in a folksy way -- but I'm not sure that it's gonna get it done for him.  It seems his ship has sailed.  Paul was way out there, way beyond Joe and Jane Republican.  Rudy was stammering, unprepared, and generally awful.  The Florida GOP voters are about to perform a mercy killing on Hizzoner's career.

Of the big two, well . . . neither really made mistakes.  Romney had the tougher questions, but wasn't really attacked savagely, and he deflected the shots pretty well.  He's smooth.  But he's not really charismatic,  and it's clear that Huck and McCain are going to team up to try and kill him.  He's just not a well-liked guy among his fellow candidates.  I'm not sure "smooth" will get him over the all-out assault he's sure to face between now and 2/5.

McCain wasn't spectacular, either, but he certainly didn't hurt himself. And his kind words for Rudy were a clear attempt at currying his support for the gang-up-on-Mitt brigade post-Florida.  That said, I'd say it's a wash between the two frontrunners.  I doubt either of them swayed many voters tonight.

But enough from me.  Sounds like the MSNBC heads thought that Romney won, largely because he wasn't attacked enough.  So who do you think won -- from the perspective of a Republican primary voter?

•  Ol' Froggy <3's McCain

  color me shocked.

    •  Censorship even on the blogs

      Sheesh. I thought the MSM was bad enough.

      If you don't believe there are live people voting for Paul on an online poll, or some other similar nonsense, then just look at all the non-Paul numbers. But to prevent people from even voting is childish.

      This is the same crap that keeps Edwards from getting his fair share, or people hearing the interesting ideas from Kucinich or Gravel (ignore their personalities, the ideas are still good), or whoever else doesn't fit some limited mold.

      I wasn't sure whether I'd vote for Huckabee or Paul because they both did give some persuasive answers from their limited air time, but since the person running this thread chose to be as closed-minded as the MSM, then mark me down for a Paul vote on who won the debate.

              I'm not a Paul supporter - I think he's a weasel.

              But to not include him in a poll of a debate he was at?

              That just stinks. Really bad.

                This is a Democratic blog!

                It's a meaningless debate!

                It's a joke candidate!

                It's a non-binding poll!

                It's a private blog!

                There are literally a billion reasons why complaints about Ron Paul not being in this poll should never, ever be serious.

                by Addison on Thu Jan 24, 2008 at 08:04:08 PM PDT

                •  YES!

                  People who would do that are afraid of the results of the poll.  

                  If they can do that? Sure I guess they can.

                  I wouldn't.

        For sure.  I had been getting worried that if Clinton wins she will unite the Republicans and divide the Democrats, but watching those guys reminded me how their intention to make the election a referendum on the war in Iraq and permanent tax cuts for the rich will unite the Democrats and bring in lots of others.  Bring it on.

  Many of us heard Mitt receive a whispered cue in response to the complicated gotcha question about Reagan saving social security in '83.

  He did not know how to respond until the "raise taxes" whisper came.

  He won the debate by cheating?

  by gloryous1 on Thu Jan 24, 2008 at 07:41:28 PM PDT

      Do the Dems have helpers too?  This concept is new to me.  What do folks think about this?

      I am shocked.  I want to hear spontaneous answers, for chrissake.  Isn't that what the whole debate thing is about?

      by gloryous1 on Thu Jan 24, 2008 at 07:46:22 PM PDT

  •  Whisper

    I thought maybe the whisper was between the moderators, one to the other. If that came to Mitt from somewhere near him, that ought to be something of a scandal.

    by NegSpin on Thu Jan 24, 2008 at 07:45:46 PM PDT

  •  I don't know what to make of that whisper...

    ...It was so clearly audible.  I played and re-played it several times and couldn't associate the voice with any of the Republicks on the stage or either of the moderators.  It almost sounded like his own voice, but his lips never moved.  Does he have a son whose voice is very similar?

    In any event, why isn't this a news topic immediately -- candidates being audibly prompted WHILE a question is still being asked?

    I didn't read other threads and was only vaguely listening to debate much of the time.

  •  And they're more comfortable talking about it

    at this point with Republicans than with Democrats.

    That's a tip off to something.

    •  It would appear HRC and WJC are comfortable

      with the concept also. Or, put differently, the Clintons have not done much to discourage this line of thinking with references by WJC to what "we" did in the Clinton administration, or "the first Clinton" administration, as HRC termed it, recently.

      •  They're betting Americans hunger for competence

        And they might be right.

  •  Interestingly my very Republican brother

    thinks that's a positive - if she should win the Presidency - like at least it's double bang for the buck if she has to win anyway.

•  I think America won, these guys will lose

  I can't see any of them beating any Democrat at this point.

  •  McCain would be trouble

    especially for one of our candidates.

    •  Ask him about the economy and he

      starts sputtering.

      •  that's what lost him MI.

        he was incomprehensible and negative toward the economy.

    •  They all want to make chimpy's

      tax cuts for the super-rich permanent.  With the economy in meltdown, that message isn't going to fly.

      Any rethug candidate who'd come out and admit that their imbecilic emperor has no clothes would be serious trouble for us.  Luckily the rethugs are a hive mind, incapable of such independence.

    It's magical and stuff.

  •  His bully worship is pitifully transparent

    He's positively dazzled by the Republicans, and can hardly focus his attention on the Democrats at all except when the Clintons are in the spotlight.

    by Geenius at Wrok on Thu Jan 24, 2008 at 07:45:06 PM PDT

•  Hmmm.

  So who do you think won -- from the perspective of a Republican primary voter?

  I didn't see it, but just answer one question and I'll tell you who won based on Republican primary voters:

  Who did the best job of demonizing brown people?

  That's probably who ended up winning the debate.

  •  Good Question!

    If we pretend we're Republicans -- I think Huckabee won.

    Democrats think Romenty won.

    by Pluto on Thu Jan 24, 2008 at 08:12:37 PM PDT

•  I voted McCain

  I found myself liking Huckabee's answer as far as the economy being bad for the lower wage earners but that is not how a Republican would see it.

  I liked McCain's discussion on the stewardship of the earth, but that probably didn't go over that well with the Republicans.

  But he had the most credibility on the Iraq war, when viewed from the cracked lenses of the war mongers who will be voting in the primary, so I'd say that he "won".

  Romney looked like a complete phony to me.

  Thats where the WMDs went missing to!!

    The UN disproved all of these, they just moved the WMD's a long time ago.

  •  I think he meant to say Syria

    Especially considering his literacy in foreign affairs.

    What a retard.

  •  Went to Jordan?

    Bwahahahaha!!!

    What an idiot!!!

    This guy wants to run our foreign affairs??

•  McCain 2008!

  He's the best of the Republicans and won this debate!

•  Excuse Me? Are You Nuts?

  Where's Ron Paul?

  The entire media is reading this in real time.

  (Please of please let me torture the GOP.)

    ...part of the MSM blackout on RP! No noes!

    Daily Kos has special "funding."

    Right?

    Doh. How clueless can I be?

    Nevermind....

  I swear, this guy is on drugs

  by kimoconnor on Thu Jan 24, 2008 at 07:45:34 PM PDT

•  Romney is like a drunk driver

  All you have to do is pull him over and ask him to walk a straight line.

  Then jail him.

  This is a new low from Tweezer.

  I just can barely stand to even look at these clowns... I don't care which one won this debate or for that matter the nomin
