Who won the FOXNews N.H. Debate?
September 6, 2007
I am sure that you all have your opinion and you can post it as a response to my opinion.
I believe that Mike Huckabee won this debate. He once again showed his command of the stage. I loved the exchange between Gov. Huckabee and Ron Paul where Huckabee went toe to toe with Paul. He made the argument that I would have made if I was at the debate.
He also got off some good one liners like….
“We can’t be divided. We have to be one nation, under God. That means if we make a mistake, we make it as a single country: The United States of America, not the divided states of America.”
“The reason this country has been extraordinarily interested in what’s going on to those miners out in Utah is because even though we don’t know them, they represent us in the sense that they are human beings, and we don’t know their fate. We need to show the same kind of respect for life whether a child is in the womb, or whether in a coal mine, or in a long-term care facility.”
The other thing that has always impressed me about Gov. Huckabee is he is just so nice. He praised John McCain for his honor which we all should. Even though I might never vote for McCain, I must admit I admire him. I have also noticed something has changed about Sen. McCain over the last few months.
The biggest disappointment of the night was Mitt Romney and the question that was asked by the Deputy Sheriff highlighted this. Yes, Gov. Romney slightly acknowledged this but then swiftly moved on only actually apologizing in the post debate interview with Hannity & Colmes. We can all make a mistake and clearly Romney did make a mistake on this point.
Fox News was also a winner for not droning on about the war. They kept the debate moving and I believe this debate was fair and balanced between all the candidates. I was disappointed that once again there was no question about Education or Health Care at the debate. We have over one million students dropping out of school and we are losing whole generations because we refuse to even discuss the question. We also have a health care crisis that is eroding the foundation of our society.
