It was pretty obvious throughout the whole debate that it was everyone against Mitt Romney. I totally felt bad for him, but it did make me like him more. I wouldn't say he faired well against them, but he came out alive. There were multiple times where the other candidates would attack Romney on his changing positions. Romney had said to Huckabee, "Don't characterize my position" to which Huckabee replied, "Which one?" Another one was when Romney said he was misquoted and McCain just snipes in, "When you change your position time-to-time, you will get misquoted." The punches were thrown and Romney somehow got in front of every single one, but in the polls, he is still close second to McCain.
On a side note, Romney did win the Wyoming caucuses today, but no one really paid attention to it. Hunter came second, but we missed him at the debates? [he wasn't invited to those who didn't know].
Now onto the Democrats. As expected, Obama was in the spotlight, but wasn't really getting punched. This debate was pretty tame but when things got a little bit out of hand, Richardson would just jump in and call for peace. "I've been in hostage situations that were more civil than this," was what he said when they all spoke at once [which happened multiple times during the Republican debate]. Nothing else really worth mentioning except the last bit of the debate where Gibson asked the four candidates what was one thing they regretted saying during one of their previous debates. Obama and Clinton just talked about what the debates were about, boring stuff. Richardson said he regrets naming White his favorite Supreme Court Justice before researching that he was against Wade vs. Roe. Edwards said he regretted teasing Hillary about her jacket and said she looked beautiful [to which she looked flattered. If Edwards said that to me, I'd melt into a pool of jello; yes, jello].
One thing that caught my attention was that both a Democrat and a Republican quoted the Declaration of Independence. I think it was Richardson for the Dems and Huckabee for the GOP. I just find it amusing that at least they can agree on something. It almost reminded me of how O'Reilly doesn't know the difference between the Declaration and the Constitution.
Speaking of O'Reilly, he apparently "roughed it up" with a member of Obama's campaign. He was trying to Obama's attention but one of his campaign members was in his way, so he pushed him aside. When he finally got to Obama, he bullshitted about how he liked him and blah blah. I honestly love how much of a lie O'Reilly is but he believes that he is giving the truth to the people.
Now onto sports! Redskins lost against Seahawks today 35-14 *cries* Obama was apparently watching the game as well while the Republican debates were going on. It was a good run for the Skins, and I'm sure they'll pick up where they left off next season. The Steelers lost today as well 31-29 against the Jags. I will now stop making predictions, yes, I take partial fault for their losses. Good news in sports though is that Tom Brady of the Patriots won the MVP award! Well deserved!
Some home sports news. The Canadian junior team beat the Swedish junior team today for the gold. The final score was 3-2 in OT; congratulations Juniors! I knew they'd win so I didn't really follow the games, but apparently they had only lost one game during the tournament.
A reminder that the New Hampshire Primaries are in 3 days. This is Franny, good night and good luck.
