Santorum isn't feeling much love there in AZ. I kind of hope to see him be pushed out soon. Too much hate, just too much.

(645 posts)21. So who the hell won that?
I think Santorum came off as the one with the most know how, but Romney got the most cheers and Gingrich came off as the most charismatic.
Paul did really well but he's not really very relevant.

Nate Silver @fivethirtyeight
Debate #20 grades: Paul B+, Romney B+, Gingrich B, Santorum B-

=========
In my opinion, the winner is President Obama
Mr.Turnip
(645 posts)24. Really Romney B+ I think Gingrich did a lot better, and Santorum did about the same as Romney.
I can't see this debate having much effect on the polls.
actually I think it might hurt Santorum not because of Romney gaining support but because of Gingrich getting some support back.

(12,010 posts)25. Ron Paul won. Won't vote for him, but I came away respecting him.
I used to think Romney was harmless. Now I see he's as scary as Santorum.
Mr.Turnip
(645 posts)27. The Iran thing gave me a bit of respect for him.
But the pure Romney shrilling the rest of the time made me respect him less.
Mr.Turnip
(645 posts)26. i'll say that if Paul wasn't there Santorum would have won.
