I agree with you completely... I would just add that when two or three of the candidates began arguing a point about Iraq, I think they should have let them run for a bit longer...
Last night, Ron Paul looked old and out of place, I don't mean his personal age, I'm referring to his isolationist position on foreign matters, the world is too small these days to live and let live, today that unfortunately translates into live and let kill...
McCain also fell down in my eyes, he appeared wishy washy, the torture issue has been hashed and rehashed, he said if we use torture, then our troops would be tortured too, well, this is already happening... one of the other candidates made it very clear, when it comes to saving American lives, who cares what other countries think about what we do...
Rudy did okay, Romney looked very well prepared...

A few excerpts:
Romney, in turn, poked at McCain's call for closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying: "Some people have said we ought to close Guantanamo." However, Romney said, he would imprison even more suspected terrorists there. "I'm glad they're at Guantanamo. I don't want them on our soil," he said.
There were few moments when the Republicans sought to turn the campaign spotlight on the Democrats, who are embarked on a drive to win back the White House after Bush's two terms.
"We've had a Congress that's spent money like John Edwards at a beauty shop," Huckabee said, mocking the Democratic presidential hopeful's penchant for $400 haircuts.
He did not mention that until January, Congress has been under the control of Republicans for a dozen years.
Giuliani combined his plea to unite against the Democrats with an attack on New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as an apostle of big government.
"Those are the things that we should be debating, and Republicans should be uniting to make certain what the liberal media is talking about, our inevitable defeat, doesn't happen," he said.
