Washington Examiner headlines for Friday

Philip Klein - Minnesota Mean Tonight’s debate will be remembered most for the sharp exchanges between the two Minnesotans – former governor Tim Pawlenty, and current Rep. Michele Bachmann. Both of them effectively damaged each other, but didn’t necessarily advance their own causes.

Michael Barone - Debate leaves Republican field unaltered  Never before has there been a televised presidential candidates' debate so short a time before the Iowa Republicans' Ames straw poll. Last night's debate, co-sponsored by The Washington Examiner and Fox News Channel, provided plenty of spirited conflict and some unscripted or at least unanticipated moments.

Bachmann, Pawlenty pummel each other in debate    AMES, Iowa — Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty tore into each other Thursday in the Republican presidential debate, assailing each other as they struggled to portray themselves as most viable alternative to frontrunner Mitt Romney.

Joel Gehrke - Bachmann ready for caucus after debate   Rep. Ron Paul, R-Tex., might have the operation to win the Ames Straw Poll, as The Washington Examiner's Philip Klein predicts, but I think Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., looks like the favorite for the Iowa caucuses after her debate performance tonight.
