(cf Fiorina in the JV event) I'd say he did that, and in doing so without any meaningful gaffe (I'd generally grant your reservations but dismiss them as pretty subtle) I think he may have been among the real winners last night.

I'd also say that I think Rubio was a winner by Walker coming out fairly flat. Not awful, but definitely not exciting.

I think if I had been listening to the debate rather than watching, I'd more fully agree with you. Rubio sounded great, but he looked very jittery and unsteady to me, and well, yeah, young.

Walker was the least impressive of the lot to me, and that's saying something.
