You want some post debate analysis? The Daily Caller's Mickey Kaus and The Washington's Post's Jennifer Rubin are here to serve. They cover Perry's bad night, Cain's future, Newt's past, and Jennifer denies she's "in the tank" for Romney (are you listening, Twitter?). They also bat Ohio's decision, who these debates actually benefitting, and the problems at Penn State, including Mickey's most interesting idea for dealing with sex offenders.
We're all in agreement on this: everyone can listen in below (direct link here), but if you want to subscribe or get Mickey and Jennifer on a mobile device, you must be one of the 99%, aka a Ricochet member. Join today!
Thanks to the great EJHill for the illustration.

Excellent podcast. Always great, but particularly so this time.

The evidence speaks for itself. Rubin rarely/never has anything negative to say about Romney, and you can tell which non-Romney candidate is doing well by the frequency of negative posts about them by Rubin (first Perry, then Cain, now Newt).
She's a wet blanket for any non-Romney candidate. Nothing wrong with that per se, just come out and endorse the guy.
This is the general sentiment around the conservative blogosphere as well.
Just read the front page of her blog, nothing bad about Romney, nothing good about any other candidate, plenty of Cain bashing posts.

Mickey Kaus really doesn't understand the facts of the Penn State issue. Makes one wonder what else he doesn't understand.

I kind of think Mickey is on to something, though not necessarily the something he expressed on the podcast. This situation is so bizarre—if it turns out that this fellow Sandusky was pimping these young men out to others, it's beyond bizarre—that it does make one wonder if there's not a larger pathology within the culture. My father was completely freaked out by gay men, viewing them as crippled. (I don't think he considered lesbians to be anything more than birds on a wire.) And it made me wonder if there wasn't some underlying fear there even though he was very romantically and physically drawn to my mother. I have no idea what it is, if anything, and I certainly don't recognize the mechanism, and I doubt that more overt talk about sexuality will help in any way, but there does seem to be a big lie out there, at least, that's the sense I get.

Exactly! One point though-she didn't start with Perry;she started with Pawlenty-a decent guy with a pretty conservative record whom she viciously attacked non-stop.
