Huckabee supporter House Speaker Marco Rubio: "This is a guy who is one-generation removed from dirt floors and outdoor plumbing. . .He's a great communicator but it's also easy to communicate when you speak from the house."

Romney supporter former Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings: "I thought Mitt Romney did especially well. All the momentum is on our side right now because all of the voters are talking about the economy."

McCain supporter Rep. Adam Hasner: "I think they all performed well, but Sen. McCain further demonstrated that he's ready to lead the nation. He certainly proved his credentials on economic policy and shown that he's tested on tax cuts and reducing spending. . .He also tells you not just what you want you want to hear, he tells you what he thinks is right."

Giulinai supporter Attorney General Bill McCollum: "I thought he scored very well, on that last question particularly...if you really think about it the New York Times endorsed John McCain, why did they do that? Why do they not like Rudy? They don't like Rudy because a Reagan conservative who governed New York City."

And Sen. Jeff Atwater who isn't publicly supporting anybody: "Most of all I thought it was a mature, civil dialogue about what's challenging America. It wasn't personal attacks, it wasn't cheap shots it wasn't grandstanding one on top of another. I really thought it was thoughtful mature work. . .and I think people respect that."
