You can get a hint from the MSNBC homepage:

“Walking a Tightrope - GOP hopefuls say Iraq war mismanaged but worthwhile”.

Sigh…..

Meanwhile, you can cast your vote at Drudge, Romney is leading 33% to Giulliani’s 23

As a milblogger, I’d rather eat lint than vote for John McCain.  Especially after his creepy stare-at-the-camera pandering.  Jumping in out of turn made him look too eager and arrogant as well.  All in all, he came in looking like a buffoon.

Romney…loved the “he will die” line.  My livingroom erupted into shouts of “OOHRAH” and “HOOAH” on that one.

Ron Paul: Someone needs to be a friend to this man and tell him to go home now.

Thompson: Just because I’m from Wisconsin doesn’t mean I like the guy.  He flubbed.  End of story.  He looks like he got run over by a Hummer a few times.

Hunter:  This man just plain rocks.  Wish he could have chosen his words just a bit better though.  Ran out of time before making points.

Brownback: Who?

Gilmore: Who again?

Tancredo: Tom, my man.  You did not do well, dear.  Sorry, but that was a nail in your coffin.  Too bad…I love the man on immigration.

Who else was on there?  That should tell you how effective they were.

One Man’s Take:

Sam Brownback ~ D
Jim Gilmore ~ B
Rudy Giuliani ~ B-
Mike Huckabee ~ B-
Duncan Hunter ~ C+
John McCain ~ C-
Mitt Romney ~ B
Tom Tancredo ~ D
Tommy Thompson ~ C-
Ron Paul ~ D-

Told you, Romney is the most solid under pressure. Guilliani looked stiff and ‘practiced’, and McCain, well, he looked bad in my opinion, real bad, this might have creamed his run.

Look for the rest to begin the slow slide to obscurity from here on out.

Olberman is hosting the post debate coverage.

 No bias there…

Romney-Giuliani-Gilmore, but with Duncan Hunter a near tie with Gilmore

Come to think of it - only a couple of them would make the cut for Secretary of the Interior

AGAIN with dividing up Iraq!

Why does it keep sounding like a bad Three Stooges scene?

Keith Oberman and Chris Matthews - something not to look forward to!

Chris Matthews dreams on, doesn’t he?

Who’s first out of this race? I’d say Paul

They can spend the whole night discussing national ID cards - which are a lot more important than Scooter Libby!

Beyond Ed’s comment, asking for a simple yes or no answer to that question is like the famous “when did you stop beating your wife” question.

By the numbers - how many Presidents do you see on that stage now?

I say 2.

At this point, while I’m tilting toward Romney, I would pay FT to enter the race. I’m basically disgusted with the rest of the crowd.
