CNN Republican Debate in California
|
1/30/08 -- Posted by Catherine Morgan
Tonight the Republicans debated in California at the Reagan Library. It basically turned into a mini slug-fest between McCain and Romney. Just in case you missed it, here are a couple of video clips and links to posts on the debate. Romney vs. McCain on Iraq... McCain Defends the Bush Economic Record... It seems Ron Paul got a little over seven minute to debate tonight, here is some of what he had to say... Here is a link to a complete video and transcript of the entire debate. The Caucus had live blogging with Katharine Seelye (with over 70 comments). McCain and Romney canceled each other out tonight. Ann Althouse had an interesting recap Recap at The Unalienable Right Here is an interesting statistic from the LA Times... According to Welsh's analysis, the Republican candidate who invoked Reagan the most is the longtime front-runner who was among the least successful candidates this time, never winning one primary and apparently giving up his effort today -- Rudy Giuliani. During those 15 debates, Giuliani mentioned the Reagan name 44 times, including one single marathon debate answer that included Reagan's name 10 times (see below.) Of the remaining GOP candidates, Mitt Romney has cited Reagan 28 times, Sen. John McCain, the new front-runner, 21 times, Mike Huckabee, the yet-to-be-front-runner since Iowa 15 times and Rep. Ron Paul, the 10-term House member with the libertarian ideas, only five times. |

Part of me wants Romney to get the nomination because I think he's the most beatable. But part of me wants to see McCain be the republican nominee because, while I do not want him to be president and would never vote for him, I do appreciate the fact that he supports meaningful action to address global warming and he has tried to negotiate a moderate course to address illegal immigration rather than the xenophobic hate-mongering of most of the Republican candidates. It would be nice to have two candidates in the general election with reasonable positions on those issues.
