DEBATE: McCain V. Romney, Round 1

Thu, January 10, 2008 - 9:04 PM

And the McCain-Romney slugfest starts. Romney turns a question about his record of job growth as governor of Massachusetts – third worst in the nation, moderator Chris Wallace says – to attack McCain for saying that there are jobs that have been lost in Michigan that won’t ever come back.

And yes, if you’re watching at home, this is taking place in Myrtle Beach, S.C., not Detroit, Mich. I’ve heard more references to Michigan than South Carolina so far, which makes sense. The Michigan primary is first up. Clearly, at least two candidates, McCain and Romney are playing to a bigger audience here than just South Carolina.
