I wasn't in a position to see it, though I've heard some about it on the radio on the way into work this morning.
I think the GOP is experiencing an bit of a Reformation/Renaissance, maybe, though I don't suspect it will be gentle, quick, nor complete enough in time for the 2012 election. The Tea Party have had an undeniable influence on the GOP, and the growing disillusionment of Americans with the politics in the country will exert a continuing effect on both parties. The one that adapts sooner - which right now appears to be the conservatives - will ultimately succeed.
I do have to queston the timing of running the debate as the NFL preseason was kicking off, though.
