The one thing that really stands out to me about the debate this morning is, with a few notable exceptions, the almost universal refusal to answer or even acknowledge the question being asked.
Update: Amusingly, as soon as I posted this, there were 5 or 6 questions in a row that were answered directly.
It seems that, for the most part, when a question is asked that can be easily answered with a candidate’s prepared and rehearsed talking points, the question gets answered. If it’s not, the question is avoided and/or ignored.
There are some good points being made by most,if not all, of the candidates at one time or another.
Update Again: No surprise, but Gingrich is really confirming the impression that he’s a petty little blowhard.
