GOP DEBATE - ST ANSELM'S COMRADERY - SAVE ONE
Unlike earlier Republican debates for nearly forty minutes it looked like Mitt Romney was going to have a good night. His constructions, interchange, and reasons were clearly superior to efforts in other debates.
Yet that was not how it turned out. Mitt Romney took a beating, at nearly every level.
It seemed apparent that the other candidates really don't like this guy. If the evidence of nearly everyone taking shots, often offering dismissive comments in content and tone is not enough, the confirmation was when the candidates exited their seats when the debate ended, everyone greeting, exchanging smiling and for most what nonverbally appeared to be genuine niceties. Not one spoke to Romney, standing alone, stiff and isolated.
