Republican debate in South Carolina
Almost all of the candidates but Ron Paul have helped themselves this evening. Paul would have been better served if he could have gotten himself excluded from this debate. His foreign policy positions are embarrassment. Even when he tries to make a point he comes across as confused.
Romney has been very good as well as Thompson. Giuliani and McCain have also been strong. Huckabee has had a mixed presentation, but the question on marriage was one he knocked out of the park.
Thompson has been especially effective on national security.
Jim Geraghty has a similar take with more details.
It was also interesting to see Frank Luntz's focus group also thought Thompson was a standout. They also thought Ron Paul was a clear loser. Geraghty says Paul's main function in the debate was to be a punching bag for the other candidates.
