in some responses. Not to mention, Oz showed he was slick and could speak very fast, but he made the biggest gaffe on the abortion question. Not to mention, he showed who he was.

Part of the problem with analysis is this is not a real debate where points are scored and tabulated. Even a terrible performance is pretty much forgiven if the candidate has the policies wanted and past races we can think of show how low the Republicans are ready to go.

I think it interesting that more was written on Fetterman"s debate flaws than Walker's far worse problems. Not to mention, Walker has multiple other problems. Could it be that the media EXPECTS us to care, but not do much them.
