Was this the most excruciatingly dry debate so far? New York’s John Heilmann recaps Monday’s one-on-one foreign-policy face-off between Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman, labeling it “boring enough to induce narcolepsy in a chronic insomniac.” Meanwhile, the Daily Beast’s McKay Coppins says Newt came out on top by elevating Huntsman as a potential Romney spoiler and showing off his oratorical skills once again. “If [Gingrich] showed up ... in hopes of proving to a few hundred New Hampshire students and the D.C. punditocracy that he’s still got his frontrunner mojo, he more than succeeded.”
