I agree he got clobbered tonight. It was not because of his debating skills. It was because he has staked out positions GOP voters will not accept on immigration, Freddie Mac and space spending.<br /><br />When he gave a speech promoting a lunar colony he badly damaged his prospects. It may get a few votes in FL but most voters elsewhere think it is ridiculous and irresponsible under the current budget conditions. His desire to be a Big Ideas Man and still push such expensive nonsense has made him laughable.Mercernoreply@blogger.com
