A few hours after the end of tonight’s gubernatorial debate, just a few bloggers had opined on the spectacle.

Interstate4Jamming notes Crist’s discomfort, praises Chris Matthews and declares Davis the winner. Jim Davis’ own campaign blog proudly reports that USF political science professor Susan MacManus (author of our “Ask The Professor” blog) agrees.

Most in the blogosphere agree the debate was a hoot to watch. Smashed Frog attaches a bit of commentary to a longer post in which the writer opens up a can of whoop-frog on Crist and the insurance crisis. That’s some harsh blogging - er, flogging - er, frogging.

Others found the debate underwhelming. Alachuapolitix, from up yonder in Gainesville, is thinking what many Gainesville-ians are thinking: “I wonder how Rod Smith would have done?”

Political Safari will check back in as more bloggers weigh in on the debate. Stay tuned - and don’t forget to catch Katherine Harris and Bill Nelson on WFLA this Wednesday at 8. Those two were an absolute snooze last time they debated, but maybe moderator Tim Russert can rouse them.
