HORSERACE
The Debate Gets Worse
This format is terrible. So far, every candidate has had thirty seconds to recite two-line arguments that are pretty much everything we've heard so far in earlier debates.
We're getting slightly longer answers, on the question "are there programs so important that you'd be willing to run a deficit for them?" Thompson says the military and infrastructure.
"As far as Medicare's concerned, we have to tell people like Warren Buffett that the program's not going to cover all of their Medicare expenses."
He seems, so far, a bit more rejuvinated than prevous ones.
Alan Keyes rejects the premise of the moderator's question — "who is paying more than their fair share of taxes" — and it takes two "Senator McCain?" prompts before he stops.
