ABC's Rick Klein: "Ahh, the R-word. 'Could we be headed for a recession? Absolutely. Do we have to be headed for a recession? Absolutely not.' Good answer by Mitt Romney." - link

National Review's Rich Lowry: "Mitt's change answer. Good. The best part of his stump speech." - link

	3 Comments: Romney did well at the debate. Take a look at this morning's headline stories in Michigan: "Press editorial board endorses Romney" www.mlive.com "Romney attacks McCain's Mich. 'pessimism'" http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080111/POLITICS01/801110406 By Anonymous, at January 11, 2008 at 9:08 AM Yeah, Mitt did well - when he got a question!!! It seemed like a lot of attention was spent on McCain who is a one-horse show and can only talk "war." The only thing I didn't like was when Mitt made that jab at Ron Paul. I felt bad for Ron Paul, and it made me wince when Mitt said that; I've not seen him take a shot like that before.... By Anonymous, at January 11, 2008 at 10:46 AM Great job again last night in the debate for Romney. Regarding Huckabee, I cringed when he dove into his claim again that he instigated the first broad-based tax cut in 160 years in Arkansas. Just this week, Ernest Dumas wrote an article in the Arkansas Times exposing the truth about that broad-based tax cuts. They were devised by Gov. Jim Guy Tucker. Tucker resigned after a Whitewater conviction and the Huckster moved into the Governor's mansion. He also then immediately took credit for the tax cuts. Please, someone in the national media expose this guy! By Anonymous, at January 11, 2008 at 12:05 PM Post a Comment
