Nomination Contests Are Not Like Free Trade

From the generally astute First Read:
Did anyone else notice Huckabee disappearing a bit on stage? His normally well-received schtick didn’t seem the right pitch for an economic debate, and Thompson definitely seemed to overshadow him. McCain had a couple of good moments, but he also didn’t seem to be as involved in this debate as he was in previous ones. By the way, when will the front-running candidates begin banding together and ask debate organizers to shrink the field. All of them would likely benefit.[emphasis added]
All of them would likely benefit? I don’t know about you, but I’ve always thought of the nomination contest as a zero-sum game.
By the way, if Ron Paul was excluded, how would Rudy insert those self-righteous history lessons of his?
