Open Thread: Who Won Last Night's Debate?

May 6th, 2011 9:28 AM

The first Republican presidential debate But  took place last night on the Fox News Channel, but featured only one candidate, Tim Pawlenty, generally considered to be a front-runner. So now we must undertake the inevitable task of deciding who "won" the debate. The other participants were Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, and New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. Fox's Sean Hannity brought on a focus group from pollster Frank Luntz after the debate to discuss who they thought had won. Check out their response below the break (via Johnny Dollar) - you might be surprised.

Did you watch the debate? If so, who do you think won?
