Republican Debate Sunday Serves Up More Fireworks But No Game Changers.CONCORD, NH - The Republican presidential candidates came to life Sunday morning in his second debate in 12 hours, trading verbal blows, with Mitt Romney's favorite, so that was planned last night.
Romney deftly swatted the attack again, proving once more skillful debater has become. However, a follow-up survey of new night show signs of slipping carrying the former governor of Massachusetts in the State of granite, two days before the first primary in the country.
New Suffolk University poll / 7 showed that support for Romney in New Hampshire 35 percent to 43 percent on Tuesday, while Ron Paul (R-Texas) remained double-digit gap of 20 percent. Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, was the explosion of research in third with 11 percent. And former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) has also been falling by 8 percent, down from 11 percent two days ago. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) was 9 percent.
Huntsman was the surprise of the morning. They seemed to be connected during the discussion of NBC / Facebook, with its emphasis on the restoration of confidence the American people. Also, Romney said in an exchange in which Romney, as he did on Saturday night during the debate on ABC, 2009-10 denigrated the service as U.S. ambassador Huntsman in China, under the presidency of Barack Obama.
"I think we serve our country for the first time standing for people who believe in conservative principles and make every effort to promote an agenda that does not include the agenda of President Obama," said Romney. "The person who should represent our party against President Obama is not a person who called him an outstanding leader and went to his ambassador to China."
Huntsman responded immediately with a line that generated applause from the audience: "This country is divided by the attitudes of that."
"The American people are tired of the partisan divide. They have had enough. There is no trust left," said Huntsman.
He was the meanest moment, Romney morning. Elsewhere however, managed to fend off the blows of Gingrich and Santorum, who attacked Romney in the first debate a few moments.
"It would be defending conservative principles. He ran Ronald Reagan," Romney said Santorum successful 1994 bid for U.S. Senate against Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.). "We want someone when the weather gets tough ... that will stand up and fight for conservative principles."
Santorum also hit Romney because he did not run for reelection after his first term as governor of Massachusetts. "If the disc was as big as Massachusetts governor, why not for re-election, why bail," said Santorum.
Romney said he does not consider politics a career, but he ran for public service for altruistic reasons.
"I went to Massachusetts to make a difference," said Romney. "Run again would be me."
"Politics is not a race. For me, my career was in business," he said.
Gingrich, whose irritation with Romney became volcanic in recent weeks could not contain himself.
"I realize that the red light means nothing to you because you're the favorite, but we can make a small pile of nonsense?" Gingrich spat. "Right on the American people. They have performed at least since the 1990s."
But it was an exchange between Romney and Gingrich at the end of the debate that showed Romney's ability to maintain a calm appearance, while hitting hard at a television format. Gingrich complained that the ads by a super-PAC Romney support has submitted false information.
Romney had a part that he had not seen the advertisements and details of the charges in television ads Gingrich looked with a grimace. Romney methodically marked critical: Gingrich was ousted from the presidency of the House, sat down with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) to promote global warming legislation, has criticized the plan offered Medicare reform by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and has been investigated by the ethics committee of the House.
"These things have been very true," said Romney.
Romney campaign is fully aware of the challenges of the televised debates, which have played an important role in the first presidential contest in the past. As former Gov. John Sununu of New Hampshire told The Huffington Post, on Saturday night after Snoozer of a debate in Manchester, NH, "Television is a difficult environment."
"If you have trouble on TV which is magnified. And it's hard to be difficult. It's a real tight balance," said Sununu.
Romney has shown once again by the experience gained in the operation four years ago allowed him to stand out from other candidates in the high-profile parameters of the debate at high pressure. It also has an electoral machine that dwarfs and surpasses all others in the field.
However, Romney did not close the deal with Republican voters, and if their numbers continue to fall compared to Tuesday's primary in New Hampshire, which could move to South Carolina on January 21 in a somewhat weakened competition. The problem for anti-Romney in the Republican Party fees, however, is that none of the other candidates present a convincing alternative. Or at least they did not.
Meanwhile, Romney's campaign has argued that a victory in New Hampshire - regardless of the margin - is a remarkable achievement.
"If Mitt wins, I think the nature of the victory of the history of decisions that overwhelm all other coverage of the race at this time. No Republican has won non-traditional in Iowa and New Hampshire," Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom HuffPost Saturday night. "So do not think it matters if you won a few votes as he did in Iowa or more. I think it makes history in their own way."
