CBS got spicier answers from Katie Couric's questions of the top three remaining Republicans than from the Democrats. She asked Mitt Romney about his campaign's criticism of John McCain for lacking Presidential temperament: "I believe that my experience and leadership training, judgment, wisdom, temperament, that package together, would serve America well." Romney commented that he would like Mike Huckabee to get out of the race so he could be the "conservative standard bearer" against McCain, "but politics does not work out that way." Huckabee turned on Romney, calling him "arrogant and presumptuous" and teasing him for all the money he had spent: "My enterprise has obviously been more efficient because, for a fraction of the amount of money you have spent, we have about the same market share."
As for McCain, whose temperament had been questioned on Romney's behalf by Rick Santorum, the former Senator from Pennsylvania, he called Santorum "a defeated candidate for reelection who begged me to come up and campaign for him." McCain blasted Romney for his "inexperience and uneven performance" and lavished praise on Huckabee as "a very good and decent man and I admire him and I admire his humor and I think he has elevated the entire Presidential debate."
