GOP focus group and leaders agree: Mike Huckabee wins debate
 
CLEVELAND- The support for former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee's performance at last night's GOP presidential debate was unanimous, particularly Frank Luntz's GOP focus group panel on Fox News, which said Huckabee had the "best line of the night." When asked who "exceeded expectations," Luntz's entire focus group raised their hands in agreement. Here are a few remarks:

"Best line of the night" -Frank Luntz's Fox News focus group panel

"Huckabee brought down the house," -World Net Daily, leading conservative website

"[Huckabee] was the star of the Luntz focus group show. When he spoke, the feedback soared. He didn't sugarcoat his social conservatism. He scored with his critique of the sad shape the military is in." -Fred Barnes, Weekly Standard

"[Huckabee's closing line] was a show-stopping zinger," -USA Today.

"Let's face it, Governor Huckabee knows how to SPEAK." -Laura Ingraham, conservative radio show host and commentator

"Huckabee's religious answers were moving but so was his defense of Social Security, his advocacy of the fair tax, and his castigation of Wall Street." -Newsmax, leading conservative website.

"Mike Huckabee did well tonight," -Bret Baier, Fox News debate host, when asked to list "debate winners"

"Based on style & crowd reaction: 1. Rubio 2. Mike Huckabee..." -Marc Caputo, Washington Post (via Twitter)

"Rubio, Cruz and Huckabee have come across the most polished and comfortable." -Chuck Todd, NBC News (via Twitter)

"Huckabee's passion on the Iran question was answer of the night for me so far. Right on the facts. Right on the intensity." -David French, National Review (via Twitter)

"[Huckabee] provided a succinct and utterly convincing critique of the Obama administration's weak bargaining against Iran and strong statements on how political correctness is hampering the military." -Michael Barone, Washington Examiner
