Newt was the clear winner Wednesday night ....
Santorum looked like a high school debater vs. Romney was too polished and prepared for Rick ...it also looked like there is some kind of unholy alliance going on ,,as Mitt and Dr.Paul took turns in a tag-team throwing the Rickster to the mat ..
Santorum will see poll fallout ... he's definitely fourth man out after last nights debate ...he essentially shrugged when challenged about No Child Left Behind. ..and laughed like a giddy teenager when Ron Paul called him a "Fake".......
Ron Paul was effective as Romney surrogate tonight..and got points with his economic argument against nation building,and underscoring the importance of gaining Congressional approval for war...although Romney out debated Santorum ..it was Paul that cause the most damage to Rick..
All in all Santorum showed, that he could not handle front runner status ...so he will be slidding down to where he is more comfortable ...
Newt looked like an elder statesman during the infighting and his measured responses were brilliant...
