Yes, it’s a bit early, but I need solace after an extra-chunky NFL weekend (0-3 straight-up, 0-3 ATS, 2-1 O/U so far and another set of losses setting up late in the first half of the last game). Guess CoverItLive got a bit too crowded last night. No matter; I’ll be back at it here at 6:45 Central, along with most of the Pubbies (Ron Paul will finally be shown the door, so the threat of a-, s-, d-, f- and h-bombs is significantly-reduced). The usual rules apply, namely I paraphrase heavily, questions are in italics, answers are in normal text, my own comments that are in-line with questions or answers are in parentheses, and because it’s Fox, if you see “DING! DING!” and it’s not in parentheses, it’s not me agreeing, it’s the bell ringing.
Joining in the live coverage (I’ll try to remember to add to this):
– Mike (Mike’s America/Flopping Aces – both links given because Flopping Aces “may” be down for part of this)
– Justin Higgins at Right On The Right
– Hot Air
– Michelle Malkin (without the Red Bull this time)
– Free Republic
Revisions/extensions (8:58 pm 1/6/2008) – First, thank you, everybody, for making this a fun and busy live-blog. I had hoped to get to Mike’s, but much like his, things got real busy. Thank you, Stephen, for sending over the usual VodkaPundit crew.
As for who won and lost, I may go back through the tapes tomorrow. I need some sleep right now; I’m in the middle of a nice little chest cold that laid me flat most of the day.
R&E part 2 (10:00 pm 1/6/2008) – Fortunately, the debate got done before CoverItLive went down. Once it comes back up, that blank in the middle of the post will have the wrap.

I didn’t quite get it that the Frank Luntz focus group said Mitt won.
Maybe I was just too focused on moderating the comments live.
I thought they all did well. Except Huck of course. He sucks
I didn’t really get that group either, especially their reaction to Thompson. Then again, maybe we’re too focused on the various actual messages rather than the delivery.
I know that Romney has a very good delivery; I had a ringside seat at the Defending the American Dream conference and was temporarily blown away by him.
My preliminary Sunday-only thoughts were that Romney and Thompson were a close 1-2, with Giuliani a not-far-away 3rd (throw Saturday in and Thompson walks away with the two-day win).
