The candidate who made his case the boldest and answered the most honestly was Ron Paul, not John McCain. Why was Ron Paul only asked 8 questions, when other candidates were asked more(Rudy Guliani was asked 14!) and got more air time? Ron Paul was the clear winner in my opinion.

wow, this article is totally contradictory to a piece I saw on some news station that showed the audience's opinions (real-time as McCain was speaking on like a line graph) and halfway through everything McCain said the line graph just slid down a little or stayed at 0.

Mr. Schneider, you're sadly mistaken in most of the points you've made here. The idea that Dems. are for leaving the war and Repubs. are for staying is an idea of the past, especially since Ron Paul has so much support being a Republican who has never supported the war, citing the Constitution. We, the voters, are not going to be spoonfed the same-old politics as usual. Other than God's response to Giuliani's answer on abortion, the sparks would have flown if all the candidates were given equal time. Of all the candidates, when he was allowed to answer, Ron Paul made the most sense.

Sparks didn't fly, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Problem was that Romney didn't take the bait. When Romney was asked by Blitzer to respond to disparaging comments that McCain made about him in Florida Romney evenly answered (speaking about McCain) "he's my friend," and effectively dumped a bucket of water on the fire Blitzer was trying to light.

Immigration is the debate. Just let a nuke cross the southern border and we can link terrorism with illegal immigration. McCain cant figure this out. Now watch him drop in the polls...

Sparks? How about Ron Paul. Yes McCain was talking nonsense as was Rudy. All the candidates just stated the obvious with the exception of Paul.

His statement stole the show..."Why did we go to the Middle East?" he said. "Our foreign policy is designed to protect our oil interests. We succumbed to the temptation of going out and fighting war [to secure oil interests]."

It's about time someone spoke up. All the rest of them are cowards or liars.

He has integrity...a noble concept these days for politicians.

Ron Paul was the only candidate to even mention the constitution. Yeah.. he's a terrorist. Time to look at the writing on the walls, bud. This is what voting for the lesser of two evils has brought us.

Are you kidding me? McCain came off as giving us anything BUT straight talk on illegal immigration, and the current amnesty he's trying to feed us.

Tom Tancredo captured the night. It doesn't suprise me that the media establishment people so enamored of John McCain would do their best to proclaim otherwise. I'm not buying it.

If it is for the good of the USA, and not political leverage. Then why don't the Democrats and Republicans argue facts and not politics ??

The only sparks that flew were the shocking sounds in the noise system! -and the fact that Dr. Ron Paul was ignored. Despite this, Ron Paul was clearly the most interesting candidate, and the clear winner for common Americans!
