The Real Loser in Last Night's Debate in Ames

. . . was Obama, no matter any other spin I have read. The energy in among the Republican contenders and their supporters was palpable. I sense that the President is way behind in the count and that a poor showing by him could prove disastrous for his party in November 2012. I would welcome that result if I thought the Republicans would focus on repealing Obamacare, rolling back regulation and trimming spending. We'll see. They have betrayed these principles before. Hence the need for a non-partisan movement to hold them accountable.
