Gingrich is still on top, and he had the line of the night. Romney criticized Gingrich for being a career politician (which is untrue, Gingrich has been out of office for a long time), and Gingrich responded by saying "Mitt, the only reason you're not a career politician is because you lost an election to Ted Kennedy in 1994". When are people going to STOP asking Gingrich these "gotcha" questions, which he inevitably bashes you over the head with?
It also made me sick when the moderator, George Stefanapolis, asked all the candidates to gang up on Gingrich for his infidelity. I do think infidelity is fair game for a question. But I don't like it when a guy like Stefanopolis asks the question, because he was a senior policy advisor to Bill Clinton for 8 years. Bill Clinton is the patron saint of infidelity, and no one who worshipped at his altar for 8 years is in any position to challenge Gingrich for mistakes he made 15 years ago.
