New Hampshire GOP debate(s): Winners and losers

New Hampshire Debate

In the past twelve hours the six men running for the Republican presidential nomination have debated not once but twice. We live-blogged both debates — the Saturday night set-to sponsored by ABC/WMUR and the “Meet the Press” debate this morning. Below is our combined winners and losers from the two debates. Agree or disagree? That is your right; this country is all about liberty. (Ron Paul homage!) The comments section is open for business.

In New Hampshire, Romney keeps focus on Obama

Mitt Romney chooses once again on Friday night to keep his laser focus on just one man, President Barack Obama, rather than his GOP rivals.

Senh: While his rivals are taking shots at him to take him down, he's focusing on Obama as if he's already won his party's election. It's a good strategy, Republican voters see him as their best shot at preventing Obama's re-election.

Rick Santorum

Those skeptical of whether Rick Santorum has what it takes to win a general-election contest this fall have focused on, among other things, his drumbeating on social issues in a year when Republican strategists believe hitting President Obama on the economy is the way to win the White House.
