Well, another debate has come and gone, and a few things stood out about this one. One, and the most obvious, is that when candidates lie or mis-state the facts as often as these do, it is very easy to rebut them. So a candidate says something about something another candidate said, and there's the rebuttal, and the rebuttal to the rebuttal, and on and on. Why? Because they each are mostly wrong, but at least partially right. So there is always something to rebut. The second thing is that as Newt and Mitt cut each other up, Rick Santorum keeps looking better. Newt and Mitt rip each other for 10 minutes, and Rick simply says that it's time to move on, and he looks brilliant and stately. When he stays off far-right religious ideas, or simply isn't asked, he sounds very thoughtful and smart. And third, the more Ron Paul speaks, and the more debates he's in and has to talk about more things, the more out of his depth he sounds. He has strange ideas about a few things, but they are at least well thought out. Get him off those few things, and he's l;oat. Everything has to go back to to those thing he's studied.
Now for the grades: Santorum, a B+ Mitt Romney, a C- Newt Gingrich, a D+, and Ron Paul, a D-
