Recapping last night’s Republican debate

The World

The latest Republican presidential debate  was held in New Hampshire on Tuesday night. Perhaps it was the mahogany table’s influence but, unlike some of the more recent GOP debates, the atmosphere was cordial. The candidates steered clear of some of the more contentious topics  – religion, race, immigration – that have been roiling the field. Instead, they expressed dissatisfaction with the Federal Reserve and health care reform, among other subjects. But what, in a debate that focused primarily on the economy, did they offer to potential voters? Anna Sale, reporter for WNYC’s It’s a Free Country, shares some conversations she had with New Hampshire voters.
