Wasn’t that yummy?
- The local paper’s post-debate reaction here and here.
- Look out Mike! A scuffle in the spin room.
- Did the Clinton campaign manage to get a question in? They say no.
- Speaking of which: Fox News is all over those nasty Dems sneaking in questions.
- Time assigns grades to each candidate’s debate performance. It looks like there was a hefty curve.
- Who won? CNN asks three people no one should ever listen to.
- St. Petersblog responds to the debate with a photo spread for the hard of reading.
- Leave it Huff Post: Debate analysis in the form of a cartoon.

If the primary vote is anything like the turnout for for the Straw Poll at the Vinoy Park, Ron Paul might gather 95% of the primary vote. There was a 40 to 1, turnout at the Straw Poll in favor of Ron Paul. The mystery is how did Romney win the Straw Poll with less than 10 legal voters?

In talking to people at the Ron Paul meet-up at the Palladium during the debate, the number of Paul voters at the straw poll was put at “5 to 1″ Paul voters to Romney voters.
The thing about the straw poll is that few people knew or cared about it, and you’re dealing with a tiny slice of Republican voters. That allows a motivated constituency (say, the Paul folks) to dominate the event. In the primary election, the Paul voters should be overwhelmed by the rank-and-file Republicans lining up behind the front runners.
