Hypothetically Speaking
While there's no denying that two candidates did engage in a vigorous tussle for a few moments in last Wednesday's Republican debate in New Hampshire, the event with that momentary bang nonetheless ended with a whimper as all the candidates struggled to answer the "what do you do?" hypothetical question concerning Iran that ended the evening. The final segment of the debate produced little direct clash (except between the questioner and some of the candidates), and the answers were riddled with inconsistencies and other ambiguities. Which is hardly the candidate's fault - hypothetical questions tend to have that sort of an effect.
