The South Carolina Debate
January 10th, 2008I watched the Republican debate in South Carolina tonight on Fox News. (I should watch more Fox news for balance but it took me a long time to even find it on the TV!)
It WAS very interesting to see the “conservative” candidates debate in front of a Southern audience. There was a much different bend to it than there was in the NH debate.
Fred Thompson: still the best, most reasonable constitutional type candidate.
McCain: Honorable straight up guy. Not a great or charismatic speaker. His support if the war is a bit too adamant for me.
Giuliani: A great speaker, logical, clear, with good direction. But I distrust his moral background. Gaining on McCain for me.
Huckabee: Better than Romney.
Romney: Still a bit slippery for me.
Ron Paul: Somewhere in there he sights a good philosophy. But Paul doesn’t pull it off. And this latest newsletter news does seem like a real problem or at least mistake in his past.
The question is.. how do I compare these to the Democrats now?
