Video: First Republican Primary President Debate. Update: Reaction posted

Watch the Fox News first Republican Primary of 2012.  My opinion of the debate coming later. My reaction: I think it is safe to say that this particular debate offered us a glimpse into three distinct groups of politicians.  On one hand this particular breakdown is nothing new to Republican politics, but on the other hand we are fortunate enough that we are at least presented with options. The three categories in my mind can be broken down as follows: Status-quo Republican :  These particular folks tout the standard Republican line and even if they may on occasion criticize some particular policy they content with the direction of the GOP and generally believe that if the country were to adopt these policies then things would fall into place.   New Republican:   Although they are quite different from the status-quo by the nature of them being new, they still espouse the same Republican status-quo ideals and do not veer far from the traditional party line.  L
