On Thursday evening the Republican candidates met up on MSNBC for their final debate prior to tomorrow's Florida primary. The debate was largely civil and substansive, hence there's not a huge amount of analysis to be done about it. I think that it shows how none of these guys has any particular lead - if there were a giant in the room all the other candidates would be looking to take that giant down. But paradoxically, because there's no front-runner they seem to be promoting themselves (perhaps part of the problem with these candidates, an inability to widely connect) rather than beat up on their opponents like on the Democratic side.Ron Paul was hardly included in this debate. But Huckabee is starting to look a little on the outside too. Giuliani still doesn't, though he really should. D-Day Minus 1 for him.
