bedsitter23Debate 311 (ya rly) took place this week. It was supposed to be specific to foriegn policy. A great idea, actually, but c'mon, who hasn't made up their mind yet?
I won't beat Kathie Obradovich for coverage, but I will give you more bang for the buck.
It continues to be the Mitt and Everybody Else show, as you can guess. Kathie gave the debate to Newt. No surprise that the guy who writes alt-history books for a hobby won when it comes to this topic.
Again, Gingrich uses his ability as the smartest guy on the stage to really impress the Anyone but Mitt crowd. Still, Kathie points out that Gingrich may have made a colossal blunder- saying that he wants a humane solution to the problem of illegal immigration.
While immigration has not been a hot topic in the 2012 race, it cannot be stated enough that the first major chink in Rick Perry's armor was his stance on immigration (to which Newt's answer was very similar).
Obradeovich said Bachmann and Perry both had campaign-best performances, but likely not enough to turn the tide.
Of course, this debate will probably just be remembered for Cain's "It's Blitz" moment.
Less memorable, this was also the debate (apparently, I just watched the highlights) where Willard said his first name isn't Willard.
Or something. maybe I should call him Willard Mitt from here on out.
