Santorum gained and lost from the debate.  He gained from the fact that the tenor of the debate made it clear that he was (as of the start of the debate) the frontrunner, and there is always a degree of herd mentality in the electorate.  That confirmed frontrunner status will gain him ABR votes that previously had been leaning towards Gingrich and Paul.  However, he didn't respond as well as I would have liked in his first debate as the target, not that many politicians could have.  It's a shame the March 1st debate was canceled.  It would have been nice to have a definite event at which we could judge whether Rick can rebound from that barrage instead of determining that from how the campaign trail goes.

Romney gained from having only one person gunning for him instead of three.  Either Newt has delusions that he can regain the leading ABR spot, or he thinks Romney will be the nominee, so it's time to get inside the wagon circle before he gets left alone on the prairie.
