Republican Debate

I am listening to the Republicans debate in the Reagan library. This is hilarious. McCain has a chance to win the election, but I wonder if Romney relates to your typical “not super wealthy but rich enough to see war as something someone else has to do” that make up much of the rank and file.

My goodness, does Romney sound like a phony; McCain is taking him to school. McCain just slammed Romney on “people losing their jobs” on an economic question.

Paul is saying that “the government shouldn’t run the economy”. Always on message. Always on the margin.

Huckabee is getting his feelings hurt because he is being ignored. Poor Huckster.

He is going on about how he was a governor. Then he takes on Romney for making the poor invisible. Says that the Republicans are restricting attention to those who are well off.

Now Romney is saying why Reagan would endorse him.
McCain slams Romney for being a flip-flopper.
Paul: talks about the currency.
Huckabee: says it would be arrogant to claim that Reagan would endorse anyone; but he would endorse him.

This is hilarious.

But the funniest question: are we better off now than 8 years ago? Huckabee says “no”, but blame congress too. McCain says “yes”??? Romney tries to show how his Massachusetts constituents are better off; Paul says “no”.

Romney is having trouble with conservative support and Huckabee hanging around isn’t helping his campaign much.

Now Huckabee has his problems, but mostly with money and with modern science.

Speaking of evolution, who accepts and who doesn’t? Sandwalk weighs in.

Democrats Edwards says farewell to the campaign.

His concession speech here.
