Hewitt's Verdict

By The Daily Dish

Guess who he thinks did well:

Oliver Wendall Holmes [sic] once famously remarked about FDR that the president had a A "second-class intellect but a first-class temperament."

Tonight's debate - by far the best of this long campaign - allowed Mitt Romney to display not only a first class temperament but also a first class intellect.

But, hey, he might be right this time. Josh Marshall:

8:37 PM ... Mitt's a big improvement tonight in as much as he is avoiding utter humiliation.

8:42PM ... Mitt actually has a pretty good statement of his qualifications for the presidency, as a governor vs. a senator. If you set aside what a complete phony Mitt is it was really convincing.
