Who Won the Boca Raton GOP Debate?

According to MSNBC's viewer poll, it breaks out like this:

Mitt Romney: 41%
Ron Paul: 40%
Mike Huckabee: 8%
John McCain: 7%
Rudy Giuliani: 3%

If you disregard the impact of the Ron Paul poll swarmers (which you are well-advised to do), those results are pretty remarkably one-sided.

Maybe Team Mitt has learned to assemble poll swarmers...

Romney certainly did perform well (and oddly, took very little fire from his opponents, though plenty from the moderators).  But I think it was the "Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do" line that put him over the top tonight.

Update: A WSJ online poll shows similar results.  Ron Paul spammers didn't manage to boost his numbers quite as much, but there's plenty of "Only man who can save America" nonsense flooding the comment thread.
