The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

No doubt about that.

I’m not sure about a B for Thompson. That might be a bit high. I would give him a B- or C+. I agree that Thompson improved as the debate went on. He had a very shaky start.

I’m also with you that no one earned an A.

I think we may have to start grading on a curve. :)

I tried to limit the influence of the grading to just the 2 hours of the debate, which is something that definitely hurt Huckabee. He’s done better in earlier debates where the focus has not been so much on the economy.

At least a B and Ron Paul did better than an F although I can not stand the guy.
