Quite a few roundups and analysis of last night’s debate. Let’s peek in and see what others are saying.

Stop The ACLU:

Curt at Flopping Aces adds Gary Gross and a great cartoon looking at the Dem’s turn on stage.

Jim Addison, writing at Wizbang Politics, has his “brilliant, insightful, and concise” analysis.

The vacationing Ed Morrissey had this observation about the debate format:

I don’t feel comfortable calling a winner on either one, but I think ABC and Charlie Gibson made a case for them splitting the debates with Brit Hume and Fox from now on.

Tonight it’s the Fox News Forum. More on that later.

Retroactive Primaries?

Jim Lynch — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:38:21 +0000

That’s what we might need if the current trend continues.

South Carolina is poised to hold its Republican presidential primary earlier than Feb. 2, 2008, likely in mid-January, a move that is expected to push New Hampshire and Iowa to follow suit.

Such shifts could mean the first GOP nominating contest could take place in December of 2007, in just four months.

How early are they all planning to go in this game of reverse leap frog?

One place that no politician will call for retreat is in the face of political influence. Unless common sense suddenly comes in to play, a circumstance that doesn’t have much historical precedent behind it, you have to wonder how much longer and more ridiculous they can make the process.

If this continues, the first primary of the 2012 elections will be held on November 11th 2008.
