There seem to be two schools of thought about today's silly Des Moines Register debate (on FOX just now, Charles Krauthammer called it "the worst debate in Western history"). One school of thought says Romney won. (For what it's worth - not much! - I agree.) Another school of thought, including THE WEEKLY STANDARD's own Dean Barnett and Stephen F. Hayes, says Thompson won. It makes you wonder: Let's say Mike Huckabee is experiencing a Dean-like bubble that will pop on caucus night. If the parallel works, Huckabee ends up, like Dean, placing third. Who would be in second in that case? Let's say Thompson comes in second, since he's running third at the moment. Then the GOP is set up for a Romney-Thompson fight. It could happen. Really.
