INSTAPUNDIT
I'm hardly one of McCain's people. Before tonight, I could only vote for McCain, Ron Paul, or Mike Huckabee. But tonight, it was clear to me that McCain impressed the most.

And of course, the most dynamic moment tonight was the homosexual 40 year veteran asking whether gays in the military should be condoned by the Republican candidate.

Dynamic, yes. But also a planted question, it appears. Once again, CNN demonstrates an inexplicable failure to background-check pro-Hillary questioners.

ANOTHER UPDATE: It's not just Hillary: "Oh, my tireless colleague Avi Zenilman back at Politico World HQ does an insta-search on Kerr and discovers he was on the Steering Committee of 'Veterans for Kerry.'"

This -- like the Hillary connection -- doesn't undercut the question. (I'm in favor of gays in the military). But it does make CNN look bad for failing to disclose easily-available information about this guy.

MOST REVEALING BIT: Fred Thompson on the Vice President's responsibilities. The person he described sounded a lot like . . . Fred Thompson. That doesn't surprise me.

I do think that Giuliani/Thompson is probably the strongest GOP ticket.

STILL MORE: McCain gets off another one: "If we'd done what the Democrats wanted to do six months ago, Al Queda would be telling the world, 'we beat America.'"

And SayUncle emails:

Line of the night from Fred Thompson on guns: I own a couple but I'm not gonna tell you what they are or where they are.

That's an indication Fred knows guns.

It was better than Romney's "I didn't inhale" answer, too.

EVEN MORE: SayUncle follows up: "I was impressed that Giuliani really did his homework on Parker/Heller. He still seems to think there's some urban exception to the Second Amendment. He didn't convince me but he knew his stuff."
