I almost got weepy. That was seriously one of the most touching, American things I have seen in this cycle so far. It was great to see all ten of them on the stage.

Romney got hammered. McCain had a good night and the candidates were so busy hammering Romney, McCain wasn’t hit too hard on taxes. Fred Thompson was great, he looked very thoughtful and had a lot of common sense. Huckabee was doing good, he wasn’t hit too hard and he did a lot of good work on Romney.

I think the big winners were McCain and Thompson. The huge loser was Romney.
