"Things got awfully intense at more than a few points in last night's Fox News/Washington Examiner Republican presidential debate. And that's exactly as it should have been because the stakes in the 2012 election are extraordinarily high. The GOP field of aspirants is passionate, highly talented and determined to make sure President Obama's tenure in the Oval Office ends in 2013.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was pressed at several points, but emerged from the evening secure in his position as the front-runner, at least for now. He still lacks a persuasive answer to critics who say his Romneycare health reform bears great similarities to Obamacare, but his answers were otherwise mostly crisp and detailed. In contrast, neither of the two Minnesota contenders -- former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Rep. Michele Bachmann -- did themselves any good with their bickering back and forth over alleged flaws in each other's records. Pawlenty did, finally, make his case against "Obamneycare," but otherwise did not distinguish himself. The quarreling removed some of the luster Bachmann's candidacy has acquired in recent weeks."
