Last GOP Debate Of The Year

We at the Inkwell, have discussed the latest debate and these are our conclusions.

It is mid December and yet another debate, but the good news is this is the last GOP debate of the year and next the voters in Iowa will caucus shortly after the first of the New Year.

The ones who DID NOT win the debate were the people of Iowa. Why? Nothing new, nothing controversial, nobody's opinion will be changed by the debate. Candidates looked tired and unenthusiastic.

Mitt and Rudy--pandered and gave pat rehearshed answer to everything.

Huckabee was same jovial self, nothing new, with the exception that he tried to appear a bit sophisticated....did not work.

McCain gave clear concise answers.

Paul, IMO, was the winner, he was not cute, glib or anything beyond clear and concise with good positions.

Thompson appear calm and almost comatose.

Hunter and Tancredo---thinking....thinking....no one will care.

Keyes--who the f*ck is this yahoo?

Islamo-terrorists, global jihad, I slam extremism, all the fear stuff was at play, not as bad as some of the other debates but it was there. Oh yeah, Rudy mentioned 9/11--go figure!

You want to know who won? look at the polls....Huck leading...Mitt second and Rudy third. Why? Only because it was a snooze of a debate and the candidates will remain as they were before the debate. I personally think that Paul was by far the best debater on the stage.

May the force be with you!
