Quick Debate Reaction

Nothing eventful happened, quite civil, and I would be surprised if this changes any minds.

Romney, McCain, and Giuliani all had solid performances. Romney is clearly benefitting from the focus on the economy, where he is much more credible. McCain was also strong. Giuliani gave excellent answers--his one on the NY Times was classic Rudy--but I think he needed to have a major moment to dig himself out of the hole he's in, and I don't think he had one.

UPDATE: Oh, I forgot Huckabee. He was pretty invisible tonight, other than a few one-liners and his wet kiss to Keynesian economics.
