The June 5 Republican Debate
In perhaps their last scrimmage without Fred Thompson, Mark Halperin says Rudy, Romney and McCain had their way with the crowded field

Leveraged his assigned position in the center of the stage to claim alpha male status. Visually supported with a tidy pair of eye glasses, he appeared polished, calm and thoughtful on hypotheticals about Iran and other weighty matters. Smoothly handled a tense face-off and what seemed to be a jarring genuine lightning strike when discussing criticism from a Rhode Island Catholic bishop on his abortion views (although the dramatic video may come back to haunt him with conservative Republicans). Bottom line: Every day his liberal social positions and record don't knock him out of the race is a day closer to the nomination.
