Livestream here.

Gingrich has won on the first and only real issue discussed tonight. Taxes.

[MissMagnolia]

Notice how Mitt is ALWAYS blaming someone else???? Remind you of anyone?

[AFPhys]

Actually , good question asking RPaul for his med records.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I live in leftist California, Obama wins this state by default. He wins this state no matter what he says..even though I know that, please GOP, dont make me have to go and vote for Romney..good God anyone but him..Romney won’t be elected, that is why the media loves Romney so much, they know Obama will win if he is the nominee

[Leep]

Wolfie throws Paul a bone.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I wish wolf would shut up about getting the two in attack mode and SOMEONE on the stage say how Obamas SOTU deal of Buffets secretary IS A HUGE LIE And she makes between 300-500K a year!

[Bronzy]

And, Newt asked him the question. Newt should know the “if you don’t know the answer”, don’t ask the question.

[IM2MAD]

Re blind trusts. Are the assets listed on any tax return that Mitt had to sign? If so, how does he not know what’s in the trust?

[Cboldt]

All that gets ruined is the federal government, not the country. The states, at least some of them, sould thrive when out from under the federal thumb. Let Barry ruin the federal government, no skin off my butt.

[caww]

I seriously hate Romney’s guts. A few years ago I couldn’t say that since I didnt know who the hell he was, but now, I can honestly say I absolutely despise him..he is a total prick..

Me too and I make no apologies for using the word hate. It's perfectly acceptable for the complete liar and deceptive, underhanded P*ick that he is.

[billys kid]

The fix is in...if Romney is the “nominee”, I will be writing in ‘Palin’ on my ballot. My conscience will be clean...

Thats good, because if you write in Jesus, they’ll give it to obozo and if you write in God, they’ll give it to willard
lol

[StarFan]

Frankly the only two questions worthy to be asked were from the audience members.

[Red Steel]

Mitt Romney gives the best defense of having a Swiss account that I have ever heard.

Mitt - I have a trusteeeeee to doooo that. Does mittens even manage his pocket change?

[MaxMax]

WAIT a minute, Did Obama release his Medical records?

[rodguy911]

I’m getting pissed, now we are talking about medical records,what bs.

[LostInBayport]

Didn't Obama's doctor release a statement, and not the actual medical records?

[kjam22]

I’d give a hundred bucks to see someone slap blitzer

[tomkat]

Paul just KICKED puppy's ass on the age thing !

[Zarro]

Yep, Wolf is a complete and total CREEP.

[Marcella]

Deniability: Romney doesn’t know about his investments in Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts; he doesn’t know he had any investments connected to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and he doesn’t know about his ads.

That is BS - no one doesn’t know those things about him/her self.
