The Great Pander
CNN’s GOP debate Wednesday night took place once again from the Reagan Library in California. How much did the candidates pander?
Mentions of Reagan by candidate:
Ron Paul: 3
Mike Huckabee: 7
John McCain: 8
Mitt Romney: 19
That’s 37 total, for those of you keeping count.
Dems debate Thursday
The Democratic debate, on Thursday, will be 90 minutes in length and won’t have any time limits for questions. Blitzer moderates. 8PM, EST.
There was at least one question about Ronald Reagan, so I don’t blame some mentions. But Mitt Romney’s 19 mentions are definitely crazy.
