The FoxNews Debate

Governor Huckabee didn't seem to do himself much good in tonight's debate, but I think he didn't hurt himself too badly, either. The focus group on FoxNews seemed to think that he waffled on the first question. I wish he had been a bit more forceful and flipped Romney's contention that he had to raise fees to maintain services, but I didn't see Huckabee as waffling too much.

One woman said about Romney, "He speaks off the cuff and is very, very well-versed." I don't think she even understood that her statement was internally contradictory.

The best hope for New Hampshire is a third place finish, and currently the Governor is consistently polling in third. It will also help if McCain can hold off Romney.
