OOh, like Mitt Romney's idea about establishing benchmarks for Washington, D.C. spending just like the Dems are pushing benchmarks for Iraq.

McCain makes it clear that he's never said he was wrong to oppose the Bush tax cuts (he says he opposed them because there were no spending cuts), but then goes on to praise the effect of the cuts on the economy. So the upshot is?

Best line of the night, so far -- and probably overall: Huckabee points out that Congress spends money like John Edwards at a beauty shop. Tee hee. So much for McCain's "drunken sailors" -- they've just been upstaged by the Breck girl.
