Republican presidential hopefuls had a lively debate last night at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Calif. Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney went at each other like heavyweights.
Ex-Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman provided a sort of Greek chorus, providing occasional comment on the foibles of human nature and the GOP race. Chris Matthews spoke to GOP candidate Rick Santorum just after Wednesday's presidential debate, and it was just as freewheeling a conversation as one might expect.
"I figured I needed to get some airtime somewhere tonight," Santorum said by way of a beginning. Matthews asked the former senator why he hadn't addressed the social issues he is well known for caring about, such as same sex marriage or abortion.
"No Republican on that stage really, including you, really wanted to focus on those hard social moral issues," he said. Santorum objected that he hadn't been asked about the issues.
