Iowa Republican debate: Winners and losers

WINNERS





* Michele Bachmann: Bachmann is an underrated —
or maybe just overlooked — debater. Since a lull in
the early fall, she’s been very solid in these forums,
and put together a strong performance tonight.
For second tier candidates — like Bachmann —
debates are about fighting for air time and drawing
contrasts with the frontrunners. She did both.
Bachmann slammed Texas Rep. Ron Paul for his
position on Iran and hammered Gingrich for taking
money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
She also was forceful — and effective — when she
lashed out at Gingrich for repeatedly acting
dismissively toward her. A nice night for Bachmann.
