I wanted to get the video up for anyone who has not seen it. Eric Hovde absolutely dominated the debate, in my opinion. It really is a credit to Hovde and his staff that he is so knowledgeable and prepared after having just entered politics for the first time. His business experience is a desperately needed commodity right now in the Senate.
