And then there were three and a half minds left campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.

Link to CNN livestream page.

Hosted by CNN's John King at the North Charleston Coliseum.

[Reddy]

Yes, disappointed in Santorum’s answer :(

[Shortstop7]

John King sure does look upset...loved the way he kept peeking over his shoulder at the standing ovations. Heh heh. Watch your back, John. ;)

[Linda Frances]

newt sucker punched all the media

[imchris]

Obama at home watching debate would say, “Oh sh*t, I wouldn’t want to debate Newt!”

[dmzTahoe]

the last president we elected who had a “clean” personal life was Jimmy Carter... and how did that work out for the country?

[show]

Backfires in Real Time on CNN Ha

[katiedidit1]

Guarantee you...if Newt has not answered first and received the huge applause..little Ricky would have pounced.

[Gator113]

Newt was awesome!! Two standing O’s right out of the gate. Wow.

[Future Useless Eater]

The slimy CNN guy should have STFU and slithered off the stage after Newt’s first answer to him.

[kristinn]

Try here.

[caww]

Newt knocked him down twice no less! The jerk thought he’d get by Newt on this and he just majorly told him it was his network...his guys who decided to start a Presidential Debate with trash.

[bjcoop]

Why is he a slimeball? I guess you like petty, personal attacks. You’re entitled to your belief but I’m supporting him over Gingrich

[Jet Jaguar]

Obama at home watching debate would say, “Oh sh*t, I wouldn’t want to debate Newt!”

Zactly

[gas_dr]

Newr has an amazing command of the issues, right down to the South Carolina solutions to unemployment...a true little r republican — he gets it...

[LostInBayport]

John King looks a little upset.

He was talking a mile a minute going to the next question. That lib was rattled.

[MissMagnolia]

Turtle mode ..... killing me!!

[tcrlaf]

“The Bitchslap Heard ‘Round the World!”

[RoosterRedux]

Wow!

Newt just kicked CNN in the teeth for their stupid idea of starting a Presidential Debate with tabloid issues.

Go Newt!

BTW...John King is an idiot!

[af_vet_rr]

Romney copycatting again, “Let’s get on to the real issues.” Yeah, right, Mitt...you were probably salivating waiting for Newt to get attacked on this!

Romney is probably scared that he'll be asked about his loss in Iowa. John King said he wanted to discuss it this morning.

The freedom movement isn't going away, sorry to inform you.

Freedom is contingent upon massive American military might and an unchallenged worldwide force against evil. Here's what Newt Gingrich says about our enemies:

KILL THEM!

He's got that absolutely right. In contrast, Ron Paul wants to practice the Golden Rule with the murderous Muzzies.
