There was another televised debate Saturday night among the Republican presidential candidates.

Did you notice?

If you did, did it make any difference in your preference for a GOP candidate to replace President Barack Obama in the 2012 election?

Unlike in some previous debates, there were no major stumbles or gaffes.

But also as in some of the earlier debates, there was not a great deal to make any one candidate stand out clearly from the others.
