CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider: "Huckabee, I think, stood out in this debate as the one who made sense, talked as ordinary people do, and rose above politics.
I think the one who really helped himself was Huckabee.
All in all: Huckabee gained ground, McCain probably lost ground, and Romney didn’t help or hurt himself – although he did effectively defend himself. McCain sounded petty – and that’s not the McCain voters know and like.
But to the extent that Huckabee may have made any gains from his performance, Romney’s got bigger worries out of tonight than the Arizona senator."
