I just finished watching the debate on the 11:00 replay. I thought is was pretty engaging and I think that Romney won decisively.

One thing that gets me excited about Romney is that his message machine is always running full throttle. Everyone of us should hold the Bush administration accountable for their total inability to communicate and get out their message. We need a President who can flood the zone of communications and win the war of words.

Talking to a few other bloggers they tell me the first Romney videos were up on YouTube just minutes into the debate. Email endorsements followed. Of course, the "what they're saying" emails were fresh off the presses minutes after debate. Also, notice also the full court press of videos by Romney endorsers in support of their candidate.

This is the best of both worlds: win the debate in actuality and then win it again in the press. Is this how Iowa will play out?
