Out of all of the commentary I've heard today, this is my favorite, from bostonist.com:
"While Team Mitt is likely letting loose a sigh of relief, his victory hints at a little problem with the Republican candidates. No one likes their options. Each state seems to be rotating their way through the candidates as if the candidates were ripening bananas. Huckabee would be too green, McCain would be on the old and moldy side, and Romney would be so perfect that a shrewd buyer might suspect pesticide use. Giuliani and Thompson would have been tossed immediately as unacceptable."

nice. :)
what did you think of the debates? it's the best debates i've seen. ever. probably because i never really watched them before. but good nonetheless.
so happy to see none of them take the bait on the whole race issue.
i'm sick of the race issue.
re each state having its own republican favorite (or lesser of the evils): i sort of like it, actually. though it might end up that a republican is chosen that cannot command broad appeal and rival the democratic nominee, it could also force candidates to actually answer questions and clarify positions, and that can only help the country, i think.
what's your take?
I think it's a good thing that money can't buy an election, otherwise Romney would be the Republican front runner. I do think it hurts the Republicans to be so divided in this stage because it gives the Democrats more time to rally around their candidate before the Republicans figure out what they want. But, I do think it's great to have a whole spectrum of Republican candidates, with differing views on the war and immigration, makes you feel like there is more to choose from than the other party.
well put.
