From inside the press room

Perry and Romney open up by mixing it up from the get go -what fun.
Santorum comes in – why is he running?
Huntsman is doing well.
Bachmann already seems irrelevant.
Ron Paul doesn’t believe in air traffic control… Whoa.

Gingrich is of course the best debater – but we knew that.

Romney could have taken health care off the table six months ago, but he wouldn’t admit he was wrong, rather like Dan Rather.

At the break, winner is – no one so far. Perry and Romney doing fine. Huntsman not bad. Otherwise we wait for Frank Luntz.

Best moment of the night so far Gingrich attacking MSNBC.
