So who won the Fox news debate on Sunday?  Ron Paul came out on top of the post-debate straw poll, while other buzz seems to give the debate win to either Giuliani (any non-loss is a win), Thompson (more comfortable than in the first debate), or McCain (best line of the night, “I was tied up during Woodstock”).  Most think Huckabee did well and Romney not so well, and there’s beginning to be active dissing of Hunter and Tancredo.

Personally, I think McCain won, which would give him 3 wins in the last 4 debates.  When he’s “on” he looks the most presidential.  Can he just keep debating?  The fact is that McCain, in his own way, contrasts as much with the other candidates as Ron Paul does, at least during these debates.  I thought the question “How would you beat Hillary?” was interesting in as much as none of them answered it.

Who got the best Wonkosphere buzz share bump?  All of the candidates lost a point or two, and McCain gained+7, moving from 6% to 13%.
