And then Santorum goes out and proves his point by saying he voted against his principles to go along with the party line.

Very true! Ron Paul raises really good points. I wish I could go with his foreign policy, but I can't.
I didn't get to see the debate last night and am listening to it now. Still have 45 minutes to go.
Thus far, I rate the debate as Gingrich (concisely explaining his views and plans in a totally coherent way) winning, Romney (I,I,I,I.....) in second, Santorum (Mr. Rogers with bad fiscal record - highest spending agenda of ANY Republican while in Congress) third and Paul (having met him in person, I could never dis this guy. He is so stinking nice!) fourth, and only because he cannot win the nomination.
Drudge has the headline that Romney is still standing, InTrade has him winning the nomination, but he looks weak to me. The fix is in, so it seems.
Gingrich has more solid plans and ideas. Since they are all flawed candidates, I will have to go with the one that can and does have the fortitude to effect those changes - that would be Newt Gingrich. I think he is still in the game.
Newt is making an awesome move by putting out 30 minute ads explaining things, such as his energy policy. That is an expensive buy and shows he has the money. I like that.
I think Washington needs, as I've already stated and probably will again, is ready for some TNT and Gingrich is the only person to bring it.
Many people are criticizing Newt for getting huge campaign dollars from Adelson, the Nevada casino mogul, but the reason Adelson, who is Jewish, backs Newt is because Newt if FOR Israel.
