Winner & Loser -- Republican Debate #1
Continuing D.2.O's coverage of the series of 2008 presidential debates. . .
Winner: Mitt Romney
Why? Romney attached himself effectively to the legacy of Ronald Reagan, and was extraordinarily telegenic and articulate. Among the second-tier candidates, Mike Huckabee and Duncan Hunter stood out. Huckabee was quick on his feet, and Hunter showed mettle.
Loser: Thommy Thompson
Why? While Thompson gave (by far) the most detailed and coherent response to the issue of Iraq, he also said businesses have the right to discriminate based on sexuality. Let me be clear, although the vast majority of Americans dislike alternative lifestyles, I do not believe they are willing to embrace discrimination. All of the other second-tier candidates except for Huckabee and Hunter were entirely forgettable and unprepared.
No spin, no partisanship...just the facts. Stay with D.2.O for continued coverage of presidential debates!
