I'm a Huckabee supporter, but I think the best zinger of the evening was Thompson's. I haven't seen any mention of it in the media, so I'm including it here.

After Rudy and Mitt got through with their immigration slap-fest, other candidates were allowed to weigh in. A little ways into his response, Thompson said:

As far as Mayor Giuliani is concerned, I am a little surprised the mayor says, you know, everybody's responsible for everybody that they hire, but we'll have to address that a little bit further later. I think we've all had people probably that we have hired that in retrospect probably is a bad decision.

Obviously a slightly-too-subtle reference to Bernard Kerik, Giuliani's ethically-challenged police commissioner and ill-fated suggestion for Secretary of Homeland Security, this one went over the heads of most people in the audience.
