Watch the entire YouTube Republican Debate from Nov. 28, 2007 (or just individual questions and answers) here.
One initial reaction: debate audiences get on my nerves.

The Weekly Standard:
“So, a good night for for the lowest denominator, a bad night for the GOP. America got to see a vaguely threatening parade of gun fetishists, flat worlders, Mars Explorers, Confederate flag lovers and zombie-eyed-Bible-wavers as well as various one issue activists hammering their pet cause.
My cheers went to a listless Fred Thompson who easily qualified himself to be president in my book by looking all night like he would cheerfully trade his left arm for an early exit off the stage to a waiting Scotch and good Cuban cigar. The media will probably award a win to Mike Huckabee, the easy listening music candidate at home in any crowd, fluent in simpleton speak and the one man on the stage tonight who led the audience to roaring cheers by boasting that he had a special qualification to be president that none of the second-raters on the stage could match: A degree in Bible Studies from Ouachita Baptist University of Arkadelphia, Arkansas.”
I'm glad to see that you're accrediting legit journals like The Weekly Standard, though I disagree with this particular take on the debate.
If Democrats were asked similar, "Have you stopped believing that women seeking abortions should be thrown in jail yet" questions, I'd say they'd come off badly. Alas, they don't have to worry about such treatment.
And Huckabee's reference to his theology degree was his modest response to a question--chosen by CNN to include in a debate for presidential candidates, that asked if they believed in the Bible. So sue him.
