While doing some Sunday evening house cleaning I figured I would turn on the Fox News Republican debate in hopes of seeing everyone keep piling on Mitt. Instead, I have gotten a mild mannered, well moderated - I would take Chris what's-his-name over Russert or Gibson any day - and at times informative civil discussion. Who are these people and what have they done with my Republican candidates!

Huckabee continues to excel, with the great "at times I have been wrong, but at least I have never had a slip in my character, a slip in my judgment" - a nice contrast with Mitt's blowing with the breeze or Rudy's character "slips".

Making sense has begun to dwindle as the debate moves to foreign policy. Rudy just claimed he was there when "terrorism started" in the 1970's. Now everyone is comparing who has been to the most countries.

UPDATE: It moves to immigration and gets worse. McCain just said his bill would have DHS round up "2 million people immediately" and kick them out, then calls for immigration to be dealt with in a "humane and compassionate way". Is he even listening to himself?!?
