Huck's answer is Huckish.

McCain segues from Reagan to TR. How appropriate, since McCain is a heavy regulator, just like Teddy Roosevelt was. Weird answer.

Now Romney gets a tough question on abortion. He starts out with a really really strong answer. Now he segues back to Reagan. He ably defends "the principles that Ronald Reagan espoused." Good answer.

Thompson hits Huck very well by blasting Ed Rollins for saying the Reagan coalition is dead. Says Huck "would bring about liberal economic policies and liberal foreign policies." Hits him on Guantanamo. Hits him on NEA support because of Huck's opposition to vouchers. Gets a HUGE ovation!!! Great answer.

Huck says he cut taxes and cut spending. Lies that "everywhere I went I had people protesting me... becase I cut government." Absolute lie. And overall not an effective aswer to Thompson.

Giuliani starts out well. Good answer about Reagan. and "I worked for Ronald Reagan." "Ronald Reagan's principles would apply now, but they have to apply to different circumstances." Then explains, well, HOW. And so on. Great answer. Makes a good case for his electability, too.
