Paul is NOT looking good tonight.

He starts gaining in the polls and he has to take the attacks that come with that. McCain has made him look kinda bad a few times, even if he didn't deserve it.

Yeah, but McCain's comments only sounded good because people don't fully understand the problems with American foreign policy, nor the affects of those problems.

IMO, biggest winner tonight is Huckabee.

Losers tonight, Ronney, Rudy, and unfortunately, Paul as well.

Romney rightly got booed there. Too often he refuses to give a clear answer. :p

It has without a doubt been the most entertaining debate thus far.

Paul lost big time. He received less time to speak then even the gay officer. Oh well...not a surprize. This is how it's been since the beginning. Looks like the people will have to continue to get the word out for him.

RP, Rudy, and Mitt all lost brownie points.

Huck gained some ground. I can see why Huck is getting more popular

Thompson was meh...but it didnt seem like he got much time to speak

It seems like the best way to get more time is to interrupt other candidates

By disappointing most of his fans, in saying he will NOT run as an independent if he fails to garner the Republican nomination? That's what you call hitting the nail on the head? :laugh:

Paul got screwed out of equal airtime compared to the other candidates. PS, does anyone have a link to the Guliani 30 second campaign video they aired during the debate?

I he cannot win the primary as a Republican, he couldn't win the election anyways. If he sticks to his guns and runs as a Republican, he will have a very good chance of taking it. Wait patiently comrade.
