Sorry for the light blogging, but I will be up and about and in the air tomorrow on the way to speaking engagments, but I wanted to weigh in thoughts on last night’s debate. By the way it was Heading Right’s inaugural debate and it went extremely well, check it out.

First, while Restate is crowning McCain, I believe the opposite occurred and that he came off an a cranky old fart. I know that image is endearing to some, but while he’s an asset on the war on terror, his participation in the gang of 13 and other social meanderings throws him off the radar.

Giulliani, completely FUBAR’d the abortion question and within minutes of fumbling it the question the tape was on YouTube. He is going to be re-grilled over and over again on the question until he gives a coherant answer. Fact is that he’s too “political” to be completely honest on the question. Yes he is strong on security, but that’s the easy question. Rudy needs to come out once and for all and give his positions on Abortion - no holds barred, otherwise, back to Broadway!

Mitt Romney I think came off as the most “Presidential” and commanding. I felt as though I was watching a President and someone who was in command of his words and thoughts, and was meaning what he said. I know Romney has flipped his positions as well, but he appeared much more “real” and approachable. In this day of “image” it’s the picture of the man (or woman) that counts and right now Romney takes the best picture.

The others were well, candidates and appeared as such. Look for them to stop dropping out one by one in short order.
