Decision 2008: Republicans meet again in South Carolina to debate.


The 10 presidential candidates about 2 weeks after their first debate meet again to discuss the issues and get a little attacks in at each other. Well I have to say Giuliani, McCain and Romney performed well and Huckabee and Hunter led the 2nd tiers. Mayor Giuliani did what he had to do to win and that was show his patriotism and his effectiveness in 9/11. His remarks against Congressman Ron Paul of Texas about how we brought 9/11 upon us. Mayor Giuliani asked that he take back that comment, but the Congressman defended it. Giuliani also peformed better with his abortion questions, because he knew they were coming. He also was able to stand out while McCain and Romney attacked each other. The surprise of the night though had to of been the feud between Romney and McCain. Governor Romney critized Senator McCain for his sponsoring of McCain-Kennedy and McCain-Feingold bills dealing with campaign finances, and Senator McCain critized the governor on how he changes positions on views every time he runs for a different political office. Romney later stated in an interview afterwards that McCain flip-flops too, like on the Bush Tax cuts, but McCain held firm that he satys with his position no matter what he is doing in politics. Politics-Central has to give the win tonight to Mayor Giuliani. He improved much more than last week and even though McCain and Romney feuded quite a bit they both performed well too. No real significany change though. The 1st tiers are still 1st tiers amd the 2nd tiers are still 2nd tiers.
