10:35 Paul gets back to basics:
Republicans used to be against the Department of Education. Now they are for it.
Republicans used to end wars. Now they start them.
Gets off track and starts talking about big tents. Something weird about most doctrinaire candidate talking about big tents.
After debate- Am watching local media- one likes Huck better for charm and humor, another McCain. They agree that all five Rs "nicey nice" with each other, compared to "rancorous" Ds. (That's how a multicandidate race is ... its a lot easier to lose votes by being negative because if A and B attack each other, the votes go to C).
I didn't think anyone had a real good night tonight. Even though I agree with Paul on some issues, he was rambling and not very coherent a lot of the time. Because no independents vote in Florida primaries, the other four were knocking themselves out even more than usual to pander to "the base." Big winner: the Democrats.
