Death by Powerpoint
No matter how "positively" you say, I don't think this is good. Yet Mitt did, it's on his Web site:

Dishonoring Service
No one should be surprised really that not one of the GOP candidates raised their hands last night to indicate they support the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (although Ron Paul, I'm disappointed).
HRC is kicking off a campaign for its repeal next week in Iowa, led by LGBT veterans. In an HRC video Iraq veteran Antonio Agnone said of last night's GOP debate:
Pam links to the video.
My one comment to add is: why didn't Wolf Blitzer, when several of the candidates said that DADT was "working" follow up by asking, "working how?" But what measure can you declare DADT a success? It tells young Americans they must lie to serve their country. It forces capable men and women out of the military -- and in greater numbers since it was enacted.

Because last night those candidates did more than just not raise their hand. They dishonored my service and the sacrifice of my brothers and sisters. And we'll never forget.

Debate? Not.
Why exactly do we call it a debate? The event last night featuring the three Republican front runners and the seven second-tier candidates -- three stooges and the seven dwarfs -- was anything but a "debate" (the same is true for the Democratic event last week). At most it was a joint press conference.
And what was with that weird guy running across the stage doing fly-by questions?
A true debate would allow the candidates to question each other and challenge each other. Discuss and argue over propositions. Did anyone learn anything about the three stooges and the seven dwarfs that we wouldn't know from one of their campaign events?
Chris Cizilla of the Post's The Fix has it right -- the real winner last night was Ronald Reagan. Who, it should be pointed out, made a career transforming the GOP on fiscal and defense issues, not social ones. If the three stooges were serious about emulating Reagan, they would stop selling their souls to the fundies.
