Not a great week for the Debate Champion. Applause was included last night, but Gingrich’s debate performance was pretty close to Monday night; he simply failed to knock it out of the hall. Even worse for him, Mitt Romney’s new debate coach needs a raise, because he did a much better job than usual, but Rick Santorum also had his best night ever. He launched the strongest, most cohesive attack on RomneyCare yet, including attacks on Gingrich for supporting an individual mandate for more than 20 years. He urged voters not to give the issue up in a race against President Obama. Finally, his description of why his wife, Karen, would make such a great first lady was incredibly moving — if you didn’t watch it, you should look it up.
