The fact that Fox was showing them, and Ron Paul was dominating, was EPIC though. I could almost hear the producers' yelling in the hosts' earpieces -- get that off the screen, NOW!

Not a good debate at all for Romney. Which is good for Ron
Yea, uhh...it didnt go well for Ron either, unfortunately. He did excellent on the Militarism/Defense qn and clarified it perfectly, and that needed to finally be explained. But then he completely fell on his face with the OBL crap...again, from Bret...i mean god damn, it is really very annoying, he got him AGAIN, on the same fing question , i cant understand why Ron struggles with that so badly.
Ron Paul blew the entire debate over one or two questions. He needs somebody to prepared him for these debates.

His answers were good but his delivery was poor tonight compared to how he has done in the past. Which answers do you think were the worst?
True. But I look at it this way.
With Ron finally clarifying the definition of m/d spending, it'll help those on the fence to understand his FP stance. That can win over the people that were "I like Ron Paul except for his FP" since now with that context it doesn't make him sound like an "isolationist" or weak on defense. He'll build more bases at home!
The OBL question although not handled gracefully, doesn't really change anything. The people who chant USA when OBL got taken out, could care less about the rule of international law.
The people who vote based on substance probably got some more answers they needed to vote for Paul. The people who would never vote for Paul, will continue to be dummies.

I couldn't care less about 'international law' either. I care about moral justification for deadly action, however, and due process.

Ron never did directly answer Baier's question about "international law".
I don't think Ron did that poorly in the debate, except for maybe two questions. Balance that against the fact that he was far more aggressive than normal, which I have to say is a positive. Plus, he had some really good answers on a few other questions. Overall, a decent night for him.
