Winners And Losers At 8:45

Winner: Romney.  He is killing Gingrich out there.

Loser: Gingrich.  This is a bully beatdown.

Loser:  People who want Mitch Daniels to run for President.

Winner:  Mitch Daniels.  He gets to live a normal and hopefully happy life not running for President.

Loser:  People who don’t want debates to be an idiotic waste of everybody’s time in which unprincipled candidates launch cynical attacks on each other and the most important issues are secondary when they are mentioned at all and the best that you can hope for is that a mentally unstable demagogue doesn’t emerge the winner.
