Debate bumps to Rudy, Fred
by WonkoKevin
Fred Thompson made his debut in the Michigan debate last night and came out a winner, according to both general consensus and Wonkosphere buzz share. Conservative bloggers will be chomping on the Chris Matthews “slapdown” for a couple of weeks, and Thompson had the biggest post-debate bump in buzz share, at +4%. Rudy Giuliani got a +3% bump in buzz share, followed by Mitt Romney (+2%) and Tom Tancredo (+2%). The big loser was Ron Paul, whose buzz share plunged -14%. Apparently Paul supporters went stealth last night, as they did not find much to cheer about last night.
