…I think I can say that Romney was the clear winner in the debate. He showed an admirable fighting spirit, though it’s probably too little too late. McCain was very intemperate, and I’m with K-Lo in that his “for patriotism, not profit” line is just unacceptable. So was the suggestion that Romney’s business experience is somehow tainted because he had to lay people off.
McCain clearly doesn’t like Romney personally, and it came through tonight in a bad way. That’s not the way a frontrunner should act. Romney kept his head about him and remained gracious even as a number of his charges against McCain stuck.
