The candidates were asked about education and what role the federal government should play.
Tancredo: Noted his tenure working to reduce staff sized in Ronald Reagan’s Education Department. “We took the staff down to 60 … I asked anyone if they could notice a difference … no one said they could.”
Huckabee was chided for advocating expanded arts and science programs for children. On whether POTUS should be an advocate for education, Huckabee noted 30% high school drop out rates: “For a president to say that’s none of my business is unacceptable.”
Romney: Initially downplayed Huckabee’s education record as Arkansas governor, but then said there is a role for POTUS in educating, “Not just poking and saying it’s someone else’s job.”
Quick Analysis: Romney is performing well so far and taking on Huckabee without coming across as bitter or angry.
