Focus Group Says Romney and Huckabee Score

Posted on January 30, 2008

I agree with the audience here. It was definitely the Romney/McCain show. CNN didn’t provide much opportunity for the other candidates to talk, which Huckabee is quick to point out and whine about. I was glad to have Ron Paul in the debate, because without the few times he started ranting, the debate was putting me to sleep.

Thanks to Johnny $ for the video.

We will see how this plays into the future game.

Nothing new there. It doesn’t matter if there are a dozen guys on stage or 4; our media fixates on the “frontrunners”. It’s just a giant feedback loop.

Your boy Hunter never got a fair shake either.

There are substantive, philosophical differences between the four candidates, more so than you’ll usually see in a primary. Yet most of the debate was he-said/she-said bs. Even the little bit of policy they discussed had no substance. Just the occasional stump speech soundbite.
