After spending the morning tied up almost immediately behind an accident on southbound I-95 http://fredericksbur... and reworking my schedule for the day I did take the time to watch a replay of the entire 2 hours of coverage from New Hampshire these are my comments:

Who Won - Ron Paul did the most to advance his positions, draw distinctions with the other candidates, and give his campaign supporters a boost

Who Knew the Issues - Rudy Giuliani was the best prepared with talking point answers designed for him

Best one-liner - Tom Tancredo gave it when asked how he would use President Bush answered with what Carl Rove told him once "...never darken the White House door..."

Worst performance - Tommy Thompson who pointed to Bush as a model for our young people Snappiest dresser - Mitt Romney

Just plain frightening - Duncan Hunter

Best radio voice - Sam Brownback

WHO??? - Jim Gilmore & Mike Huckabee

Most toned down from the 1st Debate - John McCain
With these made for TV forums I'd suggest Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, Chris Mathews, Barbara Walters, etc. invite the following contestants to a lightning round of one-on-one shows:

"WAR For The White House 2008"
Democrats vs. Republicans 

Clinton vs. Giuliani
Obama vs. Romney
Edwards vs. McCain
Biden vs. Hunter 
Richardson vs. Thompson
Richardson vs. Huckabee
Dodd vs. Brownback
Kucinich vs. Paul
Gravel vs. Gilmore
Gravel vs. Tancredo
