America won, because we saw how a political dialog should take place so we can hear how our candidates think vs how they dodge silly questions from pompous moderators.

I am a Cain supporter but, tonight I saw two good men either of which I would be happy to vote for without feeling like I settled for a compromise picked by the media or the back room party.

These are two men who both are locked in an important battle for the same group of voters in which the outcome of every word can matter, who sat as friends of America and talked about ideas.  Didn't use the emptyness of the stage to attack those that were absent.  They didn't attack someone else to create the appearance of importance, they spoke of what they believe and would offer America.

For the first time we saw what a positive competition can look like in Politics.

This debate can't be scored and anyone who tries is silly.  All we can say is we need more events like this and fewer "class president" style debates.

The loser was the politics of personal destruction.

America Won
Intelligence Won
Honor Won
