Debate Tweets and Retweets

Everyone else in the known universe is wrong. Sure, Ron Paul's Iran answer alienated the Dick Cheney wing of the party, but he's not looking for their votes. For every actual Republican he lost, he gained two independents and bicurious Democrats (who'll come back to Obama once the Republicans nominate someone else).

That said, here's my backwards, as it happened take.
