Nice Debate

I liked the debate. The format worked and with the exception of Bustamante everyone showed a lot of spirt.
Checking notes:
Huffington attacked Arnold right out of the gate and repeatedly. She also attacked Bush which seemed odd.
McClintock actually helped Arnold by blunting some of Huffington's attacks.
Arnold was ok, no Home runs, and he probably shouldn't have engaged Huffington as much as he did which just gave get more face time.
Bustamante looked and sounded as if he were on Valium. Given some of his ideas that might have been his best course of action.
McClintock clearly had the best performance and the fact that he did not go after Arnold can only help him in the long run. If not in this race then perhaps in a bid to send Boxer to the showers next year.
