I didn't watch the debate, Steve, well, save for about ten minutes when I got back home late from a meeting. But I've read a bit of commentary. It does look as if Romney not only won but distanced himself even further from Perry, as his only serious competition. That, coupled with the Christie nomination earlier in the day, makes Romney much harder to catch. Will be interesting to see what the Iowa polling begins to look like. Because that might well be the last place any of the "anyone but Romney" will have a chance.

So why do you think the field is so weak? <<I watched the debate here are my conclusions - not that I think anyone cares what I think, but maybe someone else watched? Bachman, Cain, Gindrich and my favorite Paul are all unelectable for various reasons. That really leaves only four and Perry is doing everything he possible can to get nominated to the list of unelectable. Perry had an awful night and moved down. Romney did well and because he is a front runner he likely gained some support last night. The two outsiders that might be electable should something happen to Romney are Huntsman and Santorum. Huntsman moved up a little maybe but just a little. Santorum sounded like a weak link grasping for an opening.
