The Debate 1

One winner: Fox News itself. The probing and incisive questions - and the willingness to follow up loose ends - meant that the 1-minute limit did not feel unduly constrained. Even more impressive: the questioners' solid grip on their egos. No weird "look at me" questions. Always a keen awareness that the candidates are the people the audience has tuned in to see.

Makes me think the Democrats did themselves an injury by denying themselves access not only to Fox's audience but to its - yes - fair & balanced questioners.
