Huckabee was a huge disappointment! He sounds like Romney & Guiliani as he only spoke of a growing larger government.
It's important to ask yourself, "who is going to pay for this" after each candidate replies to a question.

I have to admit that Paul really is the only small government candidate. How much longer will the American people allow to be taxed to death?

"Ian Schwartz notes that there was a minor bit of actual news: Ron Paul has pledged not to run as a 3rd party candidate when he doesn’t get the nomination."

That might change, mainly because of the calendar. See Free Market News for more details.

"“The main reason I’m here is I was invited,” Paul said."

He also said he keeps his commitments and that he was glad to be there. Keep proper context, please!

One thing I was suprised is that not one of the candidates thought to mention school choice in response to either of the education related questions.

“I apologize for all the candidates who are not here,” said Brownback.

I must have missed the part where all the candidates who were not there authorized Brownback to apologize for them.

The chance to see Mike Huckabee and Alan Keyes, however, didn’t provide adequate motivation for fighting rush hour traffic to Baltimore and driving back from Baltimore in the middle of the night when I had to get up early for work the next day.

Wow, your new employer wouldn't allow you a late morning to cover a GOP debate? Sounds like you need a Bloggers Union.

Who's (mis)managing his campaign?

I think, everyone. It's hard to believe a single person could sink the lead campaign to quickly and thoroughly.

What is John McCain thinking?

This was his chance to be the only leading candidate in a televised debate, and to cement his image as a Republican maverick that Democrats (and minorities) can vote for in good conscience.
