Hey, that was a nice performance by the Gov last night. In fact, it was *by far* his best debate yet. BR started a little behind the rest of the top tier when all these debates began a few months back. He's not a lawyer, and the other three are, and, trust me, it matters. Lawyers are, by and large, used to thinking really fast on their feet and responding in a, er, lawyerlike (slick/pointed) manner to questioning. BR had been a little behind the curve in that regard. He did *much* better last night. He was clear, concise, not repetitive, and did an overall great job of getting his message out there without any of the grimacing or uncomfortable facial expressions that seemed to be a problem in that first debate. I saw that last night's post-debate reaction on CNN had him tied with HRC as the winner among a group of 24 undecided Nevada voters.
This is all great news because it's still *really* early in this whole game. The non-politically -obsessive general public is just beginning to look seriously at the candidates. Indeed, something like 64% of New Hampshire voters said they had not permanently settled on a candidate yet. Bill Richardson is moving up. Now that the Gov has found a debating style that suits him well, let's enjoy the ride and keep it going. He was already great in person with a crowd at a campaign appearance. Now he finally seems to have found a way to be just as convincing in front of a TV camera. This is good news.
