Gotta say, the debate was a win-win for Obama. I think their blather on HealthCare, Immigration, the 99%, et al. only served to showcase their lack of humanity.

And love the TPM header about all the 'Mittstakes' of Romney - his smugness about not publishing his taxes and his faux business acumen, as well as his declaring Mass. healthcare as RomneyCare, pretty much created an immediate downward slide for him in SC polls.

(Really wish someone would do post on all the businesses owned and operated by Mormon Church of which there's at least one insurance company.)

Newt will implode and Santorum (aka Mr. Sanctimonious) is just a wink and nod in this race.

Newt's discomfiture, and Mitt's, are emblematic of how deforming to policy our "market obsession" is. Excellence in health care is not achievable via market driven systems.

As soon as you decide not to let the poor (uninsured) die like dogs outside the ER door, you plant your feet on a path that leads inexorably to single payer/provider where the risk is openly socialized or private carriers with risk covertly "socialized" by a captive clientele.
