It was a much more subdued affair than the fiery Democratic debate just a couple days earlier. Romney came out talking about his economic accomplishments both as a Governor and a businessman and that he would be the best candidate to lead this country on economic issues. He also had the best soud bite of the evening when he was asked about running against the Clinton team, "The idea of Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do is something I can’t imagine" . Giuliani was asked about his hometown paper the New York Times endorsing John McCain and issuing the following scathing analysis of Rudy Giuliani describing him as, "a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man." Rudy was the big loser of the night as he was also asked about his free fall in the polls from the clear leader in Florida to third place and he responded that he expected to win just like his hometown New York Giants did in reaching the Super Bowl.
McCain really did ntot do much but brought laughter in commenting about remarks made abut thim by his 95 year old mother and actor Chuck Norris. He also defended the war in Iraq. Hucakbaee also brought laughs to the crowd with some of his responses and actually seemed to be the most relaxed candidate on the stage. Ron Paul also took the stage and took his less government message to the crowd.
