Republican Undercard Debate: Live Coverage

I feel like Mike Huckabee faded into the background. Chris Christie did well. Going after Clinton is always a winner. I’m less sure about Bobby Jindal. He definitely stood out, but attacking fellow Republicans is usually not a winner. Rick Santorum did fine, but nothing great.

To my eyes, Christie was the most polished and tactically sound. And as we wrote before the debate, the media seems ready for a Christie comeback story, so he might get the best press coverage. But Jindal’s gotten the most search traffic, and historically that’s been as good a predictor of polling surges as pundit takes. Still, I guess I’d say Christie > Jindal > Shucktorumbee.

All right, we’re nearing the end here — who do you think did well? Who performed poorly?
