Who won the Republican debate? Democrats
Adding a 6/5/07 update on the occasion of the fresh debate: Here’s the verdict of the June debate. The rest, below, is from the May debate post.
Most Republican bloggers say Romney won. Andrew Sullivan said McCain won. What did post-debate polling of the American public say?
According to an instant SurveyUSA poll, Rudy Giuliani convincingly won tonight’s Republican presidential debate. Giuliani was picked as the winner by 30% of those in California who watched, followed by Mitt Romney at 12% and Sen. John McCain at 11%. All other candidates were in single digits.
That’s the GOP dillemma in a nutshell. The guy most Americans agree with, who outpolled the combined percentages of #2 and #3 by 30% to 23%, met with sharp disapproval of Republican activists (those most likely to vote in GOP primaries).
Their pursuit of the most unelectable candidate continues to unfold as both amazing and pathetic. And their ace in the hole is a TV actor because they once had a TV actor who proved sufficiently popular to beat a Democrat saddled with the highest inflation rate in US history caused by the bills coming due on a failed war effort and the actions of a very antagonistic OPEC.
Sentimentality is their ace, as they try to raise Ronald Reagan from the dead.
I suppose I’d have to resort to hoping for miracles too if my party was offering such a limp and lame field.

When they uttered ‘The Gipper’, did their eyes roll back in their head, followed by a dive to the floor, convulsions and random babble? Sightings of Nancy’s face on toast?

Ron Paul won the debate hands down. He wont garner any Republican support though because he dared to speak of the unspeakable…..the Constitution of the United States. Of all the other candidates on both sides, not one has even mentioned upholding the Constitution, a document they would swear to defend if elected. It’s a sad commentary on the state of American politics.
