32. Mitt failed.
He needed to score some points. Instead, he rattled off series of statistics, and tried to answer every charge McCain made. Poor tactics for a debate. He should have called McCain out on lying -- by saying something like, "John, didn't you resent it when other people lied about you in 2000?" That carries emotional value, plus puts McCain on the hot seat. Instead, he opted for the worst debate technique: the long, overly detailed rambling response.

I think the party elders will have trouble pushing Mitt now.
