Here’s somewhat of an answer to the question going around earlier concerning whether or not the candidates would cozy up with Bush:

Kind of weak. Perhaps Ron Paul should have been at the Democratic debate.

I think Mitt stood out the most over the entire debate. He also answered this question quite well.

Also note, we will have the entire 90 minute debate video up in a couple days. For reference, the Democratic debate video is here.

Hot Air also has analysis:

According to our poll, Drudge’s poll, and many bloggers, Romney won the debate. I got to say, I’m not a Romney guy, but he came off as the winner to me. However, he also won the “invoke Reagan as much as you can” award. It would be interesting to see Fred Thompson debate this “incomplete crowd.”
