Anyone else watch the GOP debate last night from Florida? Seemed quite civil compared to what I heard from the Democratic debate earlier this week.
MSNBC seemed to think Mitt Romney won the debate afterwards but I wasn’t impressed. Granted I already have my pre-conceived notions about him so that may have blinded me somewhat.
I thought John McCain and Mike Huckabee did a great job and I was also impressed with Ron Paul. Paul’s ideas may not be mainstream but he knows his reasons behind them.
I loved the challenge Huckabee gave to moderator Tim Russert. While Huckabee talked about how the Fair Tax would help stimulate the economy and help save Social Security, Russert basically said, “The idea of the Fair Tax is very improbable” (not a direct quote). Huckabee came back and said, “that’s what’s wrong with America. We keep saying that’s improbable or unlikely rather than looking for ways to make it work” (again not a direct quote but the gist).
And you can tell Huckabee knows the Fair Tax. If you’re wondering more about it, be sure and visit the Americans for Fair Taxation website.
What were your impressions after the debate?
J!
I’m enjoying catching bits of the race for the nominations from afar, but we seem to be hearing a lot more about the Democrats than the Republicans.

I’m assuming your getting most of your news from the BBC. I don’t watch them enough to know how ballanced their coverage is but I’ve heard many missionary friends and other transplant Americans say they’re fairly biased towards the democrats on the left.
