The Republican candidates for president got together last night in Florida for a Fox-News-sponsored debate...against Hillary Clinton. She wasn't even there.

CBS explains how the specter of President Hillary overshadowed other topics.

Here's video of a Fox News post-debate focus group that might explain why.

And from the subjective-horse-race department here's The Washington Post calling the debate for McCain and Marc Ambinder saying Romney and Giuliani stood out.
