Republican Debate Recap

The Republican candidates debated today in Iowa. From the coverage I've seen there were a couple major themes;

-First, there was the debate on the abortion issue, with Brownback and Romney going at each other before turning the focus to Giuliani's pro-choice stance.

-Secondly, the candidates were able to stay focused on their differences with the democratic challengers even as they debated within their own party. Here are a couple of samples;

"In four debates, not a single Democrat said the word, 'Islamic terrorists.' Now that is taking political correctness to extreme" -Rudy Giuliani

"I mean, in one week he went from saying he's going to sit down, you know, for tea, with our enemies, but then he's going to bomb our allies, I mean, he's gone from Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove in one week." -Mitt Romney on Barack Obama
